"I wanna be a billionaire, so effing bad."

Still in Maryland (Odenton), but we come back tomorrow morning. It's been a nice, relaxing trip which has involved a minimal amount of time away from the sofa. LL's sister and bro-in-law, the Legal Eagles or LE's for short, planned and executed a great weekend. The theme drink for the weekend was caipirinhas, a Brazilian drink of lime, sugar and Brazilian rum. They are awesome! After watching some football on Friday, the LE's hired a limo, driven by Cecil, to take us into D.C. for NYE dinner at Fogo de Chao, the most famous of the Brazilian steak houses. Very good food and massive quantities of it.

Saturday brought much more football, in which every team I cheered for (ALL DAY), lost and more caipirinhas!! Instead of the usual two tablespoons of sugar per drink (yes it is sweet!), we substituted 3 packs of Splenda for one of the tablespoons to cut down on SOME of the calories and sugar....though I realize it's kind of ridiculous to worry about it, but when you have 6-7 of them, it's not a bad thing to cut out some of the sugar.

For food we had various appetizers made by LL and her sister. It was the stereotypical guys-in-the-living -room and women-in-the-kitchen scene. They did a great job though and the apps were delicious: shrimp stuffed puffs, cream cheese stuffed mushroom caps, hotter peppers stuffed with some kind of cream cheese concoction, bacon wrapped shrimp....all very good.

Now it's Sunday morning and we're getting ready to head downtown to watch some football games, including the Bears in the afternoon. I'm wearing my new Peppers jersey courtesy of Joisey Ken and am hoping the Bears play their starters for most of the game. They play the Packers and it's fun to knock them out of the playoffs!

And the title today is from a song on LE's annual mix that is stuck in my head. Don't want to forget that piece of info!
