I have a small (in home) tailgate party planned for tomorrow.

Young adult family members are coming over.
I am ordering the pizza they like, making the wings they like.
Making a veggie tray.
Chips and salsa.

Cupcakes with certain school colors.

They want red wine with it all.

Will be playing a certain school song when they arrive.
We will all be wearing school colors and logo outfits.
Dogs will be wearing the same.

Have no idea if we will be crying, cussing, laughing or clapping.

Family is very particular about them.
Dry rub EXTRA CRISPY.
With spicy Korean BBQ sauce ON THE SIDE.

Pizza has to be from only one chain.
And only one of their pizzas fits the bill.
Two kinds of pepperoni and two kinds of Italian sausage.

Then little cupcakes in school colors with little candy football on top.

Then of course to settle their stomachs later they will need an Irish coffee
with Bailey's and Jamesons. Nice whipped cream on top.

Unless of course we have lost our appetite somewhere along the way.

Or do you fear backlash here?

Can't jinx it.

Staying on the safe side.
Low key.
Taking it easy.
Look calm and easy going.
Whatever whatever.
Keep breathing.

Got the booze out for the young adults heading over to the house.

Good thing I don't drink.
