Planning New Year's Eve.... Part 2

Still in the dark about plans for tomorrow.  I went to the grocery store anyway, just in case.  I have a day of appetizers planned!  KK loves my pigs-in-a-blanket (not like I could really do them wrong), Z loves pepperoni pizza and tacos (ditto to the above), Sam loves just about everything I cook (duh, she's my youngest and loves to explore new tastes and try new recipes), and Harry's likes and dislike change like the wind direction.  BUT, I think I have a killer appetizer menu planned.... just waiting for the signal.  We have custody of Z, whose 15 years old, but the mother has custody of KK, whose also 11 years old. 

So, here's my menu idea as silly as it may sound: 
     Pigs-in-a-blanket
     Brushetta (everyone in my house loves tomatoes)
     Cocktail meatballs in a cranberry and chili sauce (allrecipes.com)
     French Fries (load them with cheese and chili if you like)
     Pizza pockets (my own awesome recipe with frozen bread dough)
     Deviled eggs (just for the adults cause we love them soooo much)

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.  The difference in what I'm making is the amount.  Either we will have 5 eating, or 3.  My older daughter has to work, so unfortunately she won't be here, atleast I know she will be very safe (also lives only half a mile from work which happens to be at a hospital). 

I hope that everyone has an extremely nice New Year's Eve, regardless of how you spend it.  Be safe, stay safe, and ensure the safety of the one's you love and hold dear to your heart.

Planning for the New Year's Eve

Every New Year's Eve my girls and I would stay up all night watching and waiting for the ball to drop.  This has been a tradition since my youngest was only 3 years old.  Now, of course, this was something she always strived to do, so we always had to record it 'just in case' she couldn't do it.  We would eat finger food, flip back and forth with holiday movies when our favorite musicians weren't performing, and the living room set-up as a great sleepover party.  This year, now that my girls are 19 and 11, it's going to be different.  VERY different.  My oldest is in college, also working full-time, and has her own apt.  My fiance' isn't sure of his ex-wife's plans.

My first blog!

I'm a bored housewife, only bored since it's Christmas break and I'm not running around like a crazy person, so I decided to create a blog.  Not exactly sure what my plans are for it, but as long as I'm writing, I'm happy.  As long as you read it, bonus if you respond, I'll be tickled!
Have a great evening everyone!
