i'm watching the NFL draft with DH and one of his friends/cooks who flew in for the season.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
I'm drinking white trash sangria, watching FI grill a pork tenderloin & listening to him fuss about how little he slept last night because he claims I was "flailing". Puhlease. *IF* I was, indeed, flailing, then it was because he was snoring.
The puppies are adorable! My evening could definitely use a dose of cuteness like that.
@lyndausvi FI and I are also watching the draft; we're both pretty big football fans. Plus Clowney is from my hometown so I was pleased to see him go first. Now I just have to wait until the 28th pick to see what my team is going to do
Ugh. Draft here too. Not so exciting when you're a Lions fan.
On the flip side, I just ate an ice cream sandwich. An FI and I walked up to Bigg Burger for the most delightfully greasy dinner I've had in a long time.
Dinner, then I want to take Fi on a drive in my new car to get ice cream.
Buuuut I fell asleep watching TV (it's my day off, don't judge me) and now am really groggy and kind of just want to eat dinner and fall asleep in bed with the TV on.
I am having one of those Redd's Strawberry Ale things (not a beer fan at all so the 'ale' thing put me off, but they're really tasty), and working on Mother's Day presents. Doing watercolors for my mom, FMIL, and my two FGMILs.
I'm sending my two grandmothers each a big handmade glass flower I made.
I'm low on funds, so it helps that people like artwork presents.

I'm an Eagle. We are #22. Long wait.
I'm really happy Johnny is going farther and farther down the list. Maybe this will humble him a little?

Uh...if you need extra funds, I'd TOTALLY buy glass flowers. That sounds amazing!
@lyndausvi Yeah, I'm curious to see if Johnny's going to do a Jimmy Clausen type dive down the draft board. The whole 'Johnny Football' thing really gets my goat.
I'm a Panthers fan and would really love a WR so my QB has someone to throw the ball to!

The studio I made them at has MUCH better ones (made by the girls who run it) than what I made, I wish they had a website where they sold their work. Mine are a little... wonky lol

FI's Stepdad is a vikings fan and they were all excited that maybe they might pick Johnny. No dice. I'm with you guys, for sure. His attitude is irritating.
It would also do to mention that I am marathoning Golden Girls... again.
**** Love Golden Girls. My favorite.
as an Eagle I'm would not be thrilled with Johnny in our division.

Oh and what did I do? Ordered the overlays for our reception tables, helped my son with his homework, wrote thank you notes for wedding gifts already received, mailed my stepmom's Mother's Day card, read my son a bedtime story and put him to bed, and am now relaxing with a glass of wine.

According to my husband I don't flail, but I am a cover hog. This accusation isn't entirely untrue but it is a defensive maneuver because if I don't take more than my share covers he will take them all and I will wake up at 1:30 in the morning shivering.
My night is just starting but I see a glass of Riesling and bbq in my future.
I was surprised by the pass. So was Johnny. Maybe Browns will get him on 26.

You could see his douchecanoe smirk when the cowboys passed on him. He was seriously shocked that they didn't want to bask in his glory. I bet the Browns grab him.
Re: So what did you do tonight??
FI and I made fajitas, and laid out at the pool. Now I am relaxing with my pup while he is taking a final exam mwahaha.

I'm the fuck out.
Live fast, die young. Bad Girls do it well. Suki Zuki.
