And The Winner Is

Drink Race 2000 was a success. At least the Drink Race 2000 punch was a success. I thought people would bring their own liquid refreshment, but no, they all wanted punch. There were 12 people, counting me. 2 only tasted the punch. One was a designated driver, and the other one was my husband, who is a strict whiskey man. The other 10 drank the whole thing. A fifth of Triple Sec, a fifth of Sloe Gin, a fifth of Asti, and a gallon of sherbert. The grocery store hosed me because they didn't have any orange sherbert, just rainbow, but that made it look even more festive. Sort of like the glitter on my nail polish.

Since there were 10 people drinking the punch nobody really got drunk, but we drank enough to enjoy the movie, which is saying something. If we had been taking shots of tequila every time somebody died I think we all would have ended up shitfaced, but who wants 12 staggering drunks lurching around their livingroom? I decided to use coffee cups for the punch, with umbrellas, no less.

And then after the movie we had birthday cake. German chocolate, yummy. We had a big bucket of some kind of fancy trail mix and a bunch of microwave popcorn for during the movie, but nobody wanted the popcorn. That just means there's more popcorn for me later.
