Tuesday evening, my husband and I loaded our two German Shepherd, Blitzkrieg and Kelly up in his car to go to the vet. Blitzkrieg needed to go to the vet because of problems with his ears. The vet told my husband that Blitz broke some blood vessels and developed a blood blister in his ear due to all of the scratching. Blitz was given medicine and ear drops. Since being on his medication he hasn't scratched his ears and they are not as red as they were before.
After the vet, my husband and I got dressed up for an awards dinner at a local college. We got to the venue and my husband found his name tag and seating assignment. I didn't have a name tag. We found our table and my husband started to mingle.
He mentioned to me that there was cheese being served as an appetizer. I'm a cheese lover, so I darted over to the table. I saw some people standing near the table, I thought they were just talking. I grabbed a plate then looked over at the huge line waiting for appetizers. I took myself and my plate to the back of the line. My husband joined me in the line and we finally got to the cheese. I was very hungry, I ate my 12 or so cubes of cheese quickly. It was around this time, everyone was told to have a seat because the ceremony was about to being. At our table was Adrian mayor, his wife, two other commissioners and their guests.
Placed at every one's seat was a salad. After the invocation, we passed around the dressing and ate. I was the first one to finish the salad. While everyone was eating salad, each table was being let go one at a time. The college served some sort of veggie mix, mashed potatoes and gravy, beef and chicken. While in line, I wanted two servings of beef. I asked my husband if I should take two or not. He said I could. I had the tongs in my hand and layed them down instead. I didn't want to look like a hog. Instead of the second slice of beef, I took a piece of chicken. The veggie mix was OK, the mashed potatoes were good, the beef was very yummy and I didn't finish my chicken. I'm not a chicken fan.
After dinner, we all had a piece of apple pie at our tables. I'm not a fan of apple pie so I really didn't want it. But it was on the table, so I tried it. I took one bite and that was enough. My husband just shook his head at me and said that I could eat the caramel that was on top of the apple pie. I did just that. I eat the caramel and the crust. The rest of my pie was left on my plate.
When everyone was done eating, it was time for the award portion of the night. It started a little before 8 pm, and by 8:30 pm I couldn't stop yawning. I felt bad because I was there to listen to this people say what a great person this guy is, but it was near my bed time and all I thought about was going to sleep. There was five speakers before the man who won the award finally came up to except and speak. When the award winner said he didn't know what to say and that he didn't have much to say that made me feel better. But with all of the talking the event didn't get over until 9:30 pm. BOO! I didn't get asleep until 10:30 pm. That is disappointing to someone who gets up at 4 am everyday.
