I just couldn't resist this picture.
I did not get drunk last night. We did go to a party. A gathering of Real Estate losers getting together to commiserate this awful market. However one broker went around telling everyone how gosh darn busy they are and how well her office is doing. I'm surprised she didn't get lynched. Maybe because we all think she's lying and we feel sorry for her.
So, the party, kind of fun. I knew they wouldn't have booze, because, it's an office type party and liabilities and yada yada yada. But I knew they'd have food. These affairs are usually catered and the food tends to be good. My real motivation? I didn't have to cook dinner.
So we go, greeting us at the door. . . BOOZE! Yea, a bar of sorts. Wine, beer and even some nice, not great, but nice Champagne. BH had a beer and I had a glass of Champagne. Can you call it a glass when it's served up in a plastic cup? And not one of those cheepie plastic Champagne glasses, a Dixie!
Somehow it's just not right. I had one glass and a Diet Pepsi.
And the food! Did not disappoint. A traditional Corn Beef, an interesting mash potato with cabbage in it. Sounds yucky but was good. A fussy salad and some Irish Bread with raisins. Chocolate cake, a little dry, good though. Some cupcakes. Oh and we won 2 raffles. A jelly bean jar with one of those new dollar coins in it. Not the good jellies either. Just generic jellies. Not great. We kept seeing lots of bottles of wine, some gift cards to local restaurants and then we won another jelly bean jar, identical to the second. Oh well. I'll have candy for when the grandkids come.

Thank you for the advice about our house situation. Things have worked out - we bought a house. Yep, had our first child and bought our first house in the same month. And we weren't even planning on doing either (having her in March, that is).
