Friday, Friday Everywhere but Not a Time to Drink

It’s only 2:30pm here in the beautiful Chicago Suburbs and all I want is a margarita.

But there’s this voice in my head that says if I have a margarita and something happens to one of my kids (aka they stick their hands in the fans – the fans we rock like the Rolling Stones during this time of no air conditioning. Yes we have the window unit but I see this as an endurance test. Can I not use the air and live? Tune in to find out!) it is all my fault.

But if you had the margarita maker I had…you’d be tempted too. Trust me.

Don’t believe me? Go look. Seriously…it’s a monster of a beautiful thing. Horribly beautiful or some such thing.

See, I’m in that totally weird place where I start narrating my own life. Not just for you, oh no! I do it when I walk into the kitchen and find myself saying (out loud) "It’s time for SAMMICHES!!!" Getting the kids all jumping and excited and then the dogs start barking.

I wield a lot of power around these parts.

In other liquor related news Randy is stopping at Binny’s Beverage Depot (aka HEAVEN) where they have fun things like bottle signings by Jeff Leinenkugel (I don’t know how to spell it and don’t love Leiney’s enough to look it up. If it was Hamm’s…well then I’d be looking that up!) I’m so class. So class.

I also have a chip in my manicure from last Saturday. It’s the most obnoxiously obvious french mani I’ve ever had. I adore it for it’s garishness.

What a rambling, half-insane wrap-up of my week. Oh, and the editor at one of the writing companies I work with quit this week. That was surreal.

Back to party planning. I’ll try to update later…I know there was another story about the girls I wanted to share…

    What is a gin rickey? I just learned what a gimlet was last night. Sounded PHENOMENAL!

    * 1 1/2 ounces gin
    * 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
    * Ice
    * Cold club soda
    * Wedge of lime

    Pour gin and lime juice over ice in a chilled highball glass. Add club soda to fill. Gently rub lime wedge around the rim of the glass, squeeze in a few drops of juice, and drop the lime into the glass.

    It’s like lime-aid for grownups.

    I just love the name of it: “Frozen Concoction Maker” lol. You’re making me want a drink.
