Firstly, as of last night we have three little baby birds and one egg left. The little peeps are getting louder and more frequent. Huey the daddy bird hops around on the perches chirping loudly when he hears the peeps. I imagine him saying, "Hey, settle down for your mother." "Hush now" Then he looks up-side down into the box, "Don't make me come in there." Then he goes in and they settle down after a bit.

D had to work both New Year's Eve and day. So, I thought to myself how can we have a good dinner. He loves to cook the big fancy meals. I came up with the idea let's have our big meal at midnight. We could have snacks while we were waiting. Thursday, despite pain and cold temps I braved the outdoors and proceeded to make a few trips on the bus to the store and back to haul everything that we needed. Our tradition is to get the most expensive roast we can reasonably afford. Fry's I got a rib roast for a dollar cheaper per pound than what was quoted on the phone. I ran to the check out and bus stop before they could change their mind.
D called as he always does when he gets off the bus to see if we needed anything. He said he would pick something up for dinner, but I told him it was already in the oven ready. Yes, he usually is gone 12 hours a day and still comes home and makes dinner. His voice really perked up when I said I had dinner waiting. It was just shake and bake chicken with rice. He also does any dishes on his days off.
He took tons of pictures of his masterpiece. I'll spare you and only post a few. That roast was $4.77 a pound!!! As much as I miss Wegman's, there is no way Danny would have given that great a deal. I kind of wish he had today off and did his dishes. Sometimes, I think he tries to see how many he can get dirty.

Today, I was feeling better. I made homemade shrimp eggrolls. Well, I had them already for him to fry up. They were so good he had about five and I think I ate four. Which is saying something. I usually don't like to eat my own cooking. Not that it's bad. I'm just so sick of it when I finish I'm not in the mood anymore. I like to spin other people's dye jobs too.

Finally, on the way home tonight, D stopped in at Walgreens and found this for me for what he said was a ridiculously low price.

Maybe you'll think about being my body guard? I will be your long lost pal.
No, 2010 recap here. It's been a long strange year and I'm glad to see the backside of it.
