Is This New Year's Eve Material?

Dear Ones,
Living on the lonesome prairie one does not lead a normal life, when you're married to The Highway Man. "Mr. Ed" is the supervisor of the night~shift for K. D.O.T. in a large metropolitan area,  which means when he isn't working 12~14 hour shifts during our inclement winter weather, he's sleeping. Before this career, he was 24~7~12 career man with the U.S. Army. So~o~o . . .I have no clue what normal people do on New Year's Eve! ! !

What you're about to read is last year's e~mail to a very dear friend. Only the name of my friend has been changed to protect her identity.


IS THIS NEW YEAR'S EVE MATERIAL? ? ?              

Thursday, December 31, 2009 4:28 PM

Dear Friend,

Since "Mr. Ed" and I don't know what a 'normal' New Year's Eve is.

I'm wondering. . .

Is this New Year's Eve material? ? ?

I went to Wal~Mart to pick up my DH some Alka Seltzer Cold Plus,

per his request! ! !

While I was there, I thought I'd do some shopping for New Year's Eve.

Here's what I bought:

*Stacy's Pita Chips (I've been looking for these for a month!)

*Canada Dry Ginger Ale (We'll drink it straight, not mixed)

*Two cans of Pringles Potato Chips (Regular and Sour Cream)

*Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (to go with your dessert in a cup)

*Four candy bars (Two Snickers & Two Three Musketeers)

*Quaker Rice Cakes (Caramel flavor). . .and. . .

*A Romantic Homes Magazine (February Edition)

Again, I'm not sure what the two of us will do this evening. ..

but. . .

I'm afraid if we eat all of this in one evening. . .

we will BOTH need to take the Alka~Seltzer

and go to bed early. . .

witha stomach~ache. . .

BUT. . .

then we'd miss the whole thing. . .

SO. . .

I'm thinking. . .

We'll eat the T.V. dinners instead

(oops! forgot to tell you I bought Maria Calendar's Beef Tips)

make your dessert in a cup. . .

have it with the ice cream!

later. . .

maybe a few Pita chips and a glass of ginger ale. . .

to welcome in the NEW YEAR 2010!

I'll let you know how this whole New Year's Eve thing pans out!

See you soon!

Love,

Pat

P.S. Oops! Almost forgot. . .Have a Happy New Year. . .

Present day. . .
I do hope this brought a chuckle and a smile to your face! "Mr. Ed" and I had a wonderful New Year's Eve in 2009 and hope to do the same for 2010! This year we'll be viewing his birthday gift movie ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS.


I'm sure there's a scheduled Checker's Tournament Match. . . 

provided, that is. . .

if it doesn't snow!

Happy New Year 2011!

Until next time. . .
