Unbridled fun

offcntrHappy New Year!
We celebrated in our typical unrestrained fashion: sitting on the sofa with plates of snackies watching videos while arm-wrestling the kitties away from the food. I was feeling especially fortunate as Denise had cleared off space just for me--she'd been using the sofa for sorting projects while watching TV, so this is the first time we've actually both been able to sit on it together in, oh, three or four months.
We had a particularly good array of snackies this year: homemade Chex mix, Ritz crackers, leftover Christmas ham, Albacore salad, two kinds of imported cheese from the Groce Out (Dubliner and Rustic Red), and a Kaukauna cheese ball, hearkening back to our Wisconsin roots. Also a second plate with fruit: orange sections, apple slices and seedless red grapes. And a third small plate with Christmas cookies and fudge and slices of potica. All accompanied by a chilled bottle of Martinelli's (a non-alcoholic sparkling cider). I tell you, we were living large!
And the video? Well, for Christmas 2024, Denise had bought us the season 2 DVD of Star Trek: Prodigy, and we'd never actually gotten through it. In fact, we'd completely lost track of where we'd left off, so we started over from the beginning, watched all of disc 1 and three episodes into disc 2. I was not expecting [spoilers] Wesley Crusher... Wound up watching about five hours worth, will try and continue along so we're not still trying to catch up on next New Years Eve.
