It's true, I'm a lazy slob. But kids, really, we have had very little down time in the last week and a half. We had Sing-Along White Christmas on Sunday (after which we went to my new favorite local place, O'SHAUGHNESSY'S. It's an Irish pub where the old Zephyr ice cream parlor used to be, on Wilson and Ravenswood. I had some Boddington's, and a couple of Sam Adams Winter Ales -- both very nice indeed. Then Monday, we had Susan and Ken's party -- I didn't have any beer there; Ken had some Coronas. I just can't hang with the Coronas. Too sweet. Then Tuesday we had to go finish shopping, we needed LOTS (seriously, lots) of candy and such for stocking stuffers, and then we went to Uncle Julio's Hacienda on North and Clybourn. The food is good, but what you really go to Uncle Julio's for is the SWIRLS!!! It is a surprisingly alcoholic swirl of frozen sangria and margarita. I had two and a half. Deeee-licious. Then Wednesday was Christmas Eve. It's been Band on the Run all week and weekend. Now, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I am ready for 2009. Lots more beers to come in 2009. 2008 -- it was all right, but I'm ready for more.
