So, my first ever fondue party was a success. The only thing that could've made it better would have been if I didn't have to work and could've prepared things at my leisure instead of at a frantic pace when I got home at 8:30. Anyway, I served steak, chicken and shrimp to fondue in hot oil, I had swiss cheese fondue with bread and chocolate fondue with a variety of fruits and pound cake. Yummay!!! Chris brought his salsa concoction (quite tasty) and chips. Dave arrived at 11:45 (he had to work 'til 11) with the champagne so we could toast in the new year.



Someday I'll have a coffee table that everyone can sit closer around and it will work better, I think. Anyhoo, I sat and talked with Dave until 4 am, then I went to bed. Now I get to go back to work. Yay.

<rant>You know, if you're going to have pizzas delivered on a holiday like New Year's Eve when all the nuts are out driving in a panic to get to the liquor store, the least you can do is tip your poor pizza driver. It's bad enough to get stiffed on a regular evening, let alone a holiday when nobody wants to be working anyway. And, BTW, don't ever say, "It's a shame you have to work tonight" to any driver on any holiday. If your lame ass, and others like you, didn't order pizza on holidays, we wouldn't be open.</rant>

I've got sooooo much to do today. I've got a couple of friends coming over after I get off work tonight to help me break in the fondue pot I got for my birthday and to usher in the new year. This is one year I am not going to miss one bit. I feel a little like I've stagnated this past year. I made less money, gained more weight, acquired more debt. *sigh*

Actor Earl Hindman, best known as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor's neighbor Wilson on "Home Improvement," died yesterday. How sad. I really loved that show and Wilson was the coolest.
