Hey

31 days into the new year,  I hastily tap this out from my cell phone.
Will not allow January 2011 to slip by without a trace.
So far I have been able to:
1. Host a pajama party to welcome the new year.
2. Keep up with most of the laundry.
3. Conquer winter with a family ski trip.
4. Watch numerous basketball games for BOTH girls. Yes Gabi started playing too.
5. Put away Christmas.
6. Visit family.
7. Visit a friend.
8. Ponder relationships, friendship management and child wrangling skills.
9. Do a live demonstration of
"how to neti pot" purely for entertainment purposes.
10.Go to criminal court to testify in a crime that I witnessed.
11.Plan more excuses to master the perfect  Spotted Greyhound beverage:
-like Superbowl day (go Steelers)
-Steve's bday,
-Snow storm days,
-Frozen kitchen pipe day
-Car buried under 5 inches of snow so I can't go anywhere day...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spotted Greyhound:
Mix
2 parts vodka*
4 parts freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
Then
Toss in  a small handful of blueberries.

*vodka-- brings me to the 12th thing I've done this month:
12. Conducted a blind taste test of three vodkas
-Grey Goose
-Ketel One
-Tito's
Conclusion: alcohol dulls taste buds and disables one from
distinguishing between brands.
Hang-overs are really decided by the amount imbibed and not the quality.
This, I know.
