...going on.
And I couldn't be happier.

Last night's cocktail was an amazingly tasty amaretto sour. With not one, but two cherries. Which aren't supposed to really be in an amaretto sour, but I like them so that guy that I like so much always drops one in. Or sometimes two.

I, in turn, cooked up an incredibly yummy pasta using up all the odds and ends that were hanging around...EDIBLE odds and ends, thankyouverymuch.
So very, very yummy.
Last night was the tournaments semi-finals, which they won rather easily. The finals are tonight at 8:45pm, so we will be heading our shortly.
In the meantime, today was a boy day. I drove Brian out to Nico's, stayed for coffee and then brought both of them home with me. Once home, a few neighbors came over, plus a few more friends of Bri's from school and they played outside on this beautifully sunny December day. In the meantime, most of the basketball team was in and out, in and out...playing video games and eating.
I love that.
Matthew, on the flip side, is bored. Very, very bored.
I was, too...but then cleaned out the pantry (long over due), caught up on laundry and made a pot of shredded beef for tacos, which thankfully fed the masses.
Our plan is to load up my car, drive the 30 miles to the game, drop them off an hour before they play and then find a Starbucks for an extremely large caffeinated coffee....then back in time for tip off.

Poor Matthew! Christmas break can be a very long month for those college students...no homework, no job, no friends across the hall to hang out with until the wee hours. Instead, it's back to the family where we have chores and go to bed way before 2 a.m. The night winds down at 10 p.m. instead of starts at 10 p.m.! Liz is tolerating break much better this year, although she didn't get home until the 18th and we've had Christmas and New Year's celebrations to keep us busy. The boredom really sets in when we all go back to school and work and she still has two more weeks to hang around the house ;)
