Party Time

The holiday season is a busy time with parties, family, friends, cooking, baking, shopping, etc.

That being said, a group of good friends got together recently to celebrate the holidays and just being friends!

To start off our night, we were picked up in style

It rained all night long, but each time we stopped the rain let up long enough for us to get in the building without using an umbrella or getting drenched.

Our first stop in Indy was Rick's Café Boatyard

This was Ric and I's first time there, but was impressed with the atmosphere of the Café. I ordered the Cajun fish, slaw, broccoli, seasoned fries, and sauce. It was nice and hot, just like I expected!

If you noticed in the second photo the Café had Long Island Ice Tea's for $5. Yes, I had one, I mean some, YUM!

We made a promise in the beginning that what went on in the limo and what happened during the entire night would stay between all of us. However, I did manage to get some photos of us, that allows me to keep my promise, but I can share with out any problems.

We already have the date set for what is now going to be our annual outing in December. Well, unless I can talk everyone into doing it before then!

CHEERS!

Everyone Is Talking About It

The weather. The hot topic for the last several days.

The deep freeze, dangerously cold air, and a new word ... Polar Vortex. I'm sure this word will be added to the dictionary later this year, since 'selfie' and 'twerking' was added in 2013.

Frigid air from the north pole, swirling down on top of us making the temperature colder than the temperature on Mars!

I kept checking the weather throughout the day on my weather map app on my phone. At 11:55am on the same date, it was a negative 8 degrees. With the wind chill factored in the temperature was a bone chilling negative 28 degrees! Yes, that is cold!

I seen several videos of people boiling water, going outside and throwing the hot water up in the cold air, creating instant frozen water. I didn't try that, but I'm sure it works since I seen it on Facebook!

If you're going to boil some water, I'd suggest adding some instant hot chocolate mix to it and stay inside and enjoy a good book or a movie! Stay warm!

Daily Rules To Live By

Happy New Year! It's a new year, another year to make resolutions, another year to strive to be better than the previous year(s).

I ran across this quote and thought it was too good not to share with everyone...

Daily Rules To Live By:

Wake up

Be thankful

Try new things

Help others

Trust yourself

Worry less

Keep Going

Love unconditionally

Dream big

Those rules pretty much sums it up on how to stay happy and be successful. One I am going to add and do my best to do through 2014 is BE POSITIVE!

Again, Happy New Year to all!
