Woke up this morning at Vicki and Tim’s place. We sat around and talked for a bit, then went out to check out the Farmer’s Market. It was pretty cool to see one in downtown Chicago. The farmer’s definitely travel pretty far to bring their products to the City. I got a cup of hot apple cider while walking around. I saw two black & white border collies, too cute. Vicki shared a fantastic scone with Tim and I. When we got back to the apartment, Vicki and Tim made breakfast. We had a spinach and cheese scramble, pumpkin pancakes, and Tim made some really great breakfast sausages.
For a little while afterwards, Vicki and Tim got their costumes ready for the party tonight. I put on the ‘Buccaneer Bones’ costume that Tim wore last year (apparently so did Jamie). On our way over to Cece and Jim’s, we stopped by and picked up Irene. It took quite awhile to get to the house, but we were one of the first there anyway. Cece had the house looking amazing, it will be a great party.
People were arriving to the party from 2pm through 8pm. At around 3pm, Cheryl called on the video chat and got to see almost everyone. We chatted almost a full hour, until Cheryl left to get some food. It was too bad because Cece had so much good food within eye sight of Cheryl, but she couldn’t get any. There was too much action to describe, I think everyone had a fantastic time and the party seems to be bigger than the Christmas party. The night concluded with a chorus of singing during Karaoke time. I didn’t participate in the singing this party, which I guess people were waiting to see my singing technique reminiscent of last year’s Christmas party. I’m sure if you search YouTube, there will be plenty of blackmail material on there.
I got to taste small samples of Cece’s Shepard’s Pie, Cheeseburger pasta, and a chicken crusted casserole that was great. Topped off by plenty of chocolate chip cookies and a marshmallows at the fire in their fire pit.
Around 10pm, we headed back to the apartment, dropping Irene off on the way. By 11pm, in bed and asleep.
