There are 56 minutes left in the year

We had ravioli and meatballs (made by me) for dinner. Mike got himself a cannoli cake. He offered me some but I had a tin roof sundae instead. That's a sundae with vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce and peanuts.

Later, I made some bacon-wrapped crackers I forgot to make Christmas Eve.

I had 3 of them and gave five or so to Jamie.
I gave most of them to Katherine to have over at her place with her downstairs neighbors. (Who are also our friends!)
No liquor tonight. I probably would have if someone else was here. Mike doesn't really drink, except the occasional beer. And I don't feel like making a cocktail, anyway. It'll be five o'clock many times in the next year, :)!

Some nights, I look up from reading, or whatever show I happen to be caught up in, and realize it's after one in the morning. Other nights I want to be in bed before eleven. Tonight, I'm hoping the fudge sauce on my sundae and an afternoon cup of coffee mean I'll be up at midnight and saying "Happy New Year" to my husband!
