Virtual GNO - A Little Glee

I'm kinda burned out this week. I think the weather (rainy, windy, grey) plays a part in my weariness. I have so many things that I would like to be doing, but my energy level is way down. And when I go to sleep I just keep thinking about all of the things that I should have done that day, or more things that need to get done and there I am, looking at the numbers on my clock, telling myself that I should be sleeping.

Ugh. I know what I need, a Virtual Girls Night Out.

Time For Some Tunes!

I am just loving Glee. I laugh out loud at every episode, and cry at every episode too. Here's a little bit from this week. (Dang commercial at the beginning!)

Cast of Glee "Somebody To Lean On"


(You might notice Lea Michelle who originated the role of Wendla in Broadway's "Spring Awakening". That show is fantastic!)

Time For A Cocktail!

Chocolate Cocktail
Ingredients:
*2 oz vodka
*1 1/2 oz creme de cacao, white
*Hershey Hug or Kiss for garnish
*powdered cocoa for rimming
Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes. Shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with cocoa.

Suddenly the dreary grey clouds and rain aren't so troublesome ;->

Time For A Party Game!

"I Will. I Won't. I Wish".
*answer these questions with the first letter of your last name*

~I Will: Have more laughs at myself when getting so stressed out.
~I Won't: Harp on the weather anymore
~I Wish: Human-kind would be just that, more Human and more Kind.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

A Thousand Words Thursday - KISS

Guess who Rob went to see...






Take part in Jen's A Thousand Words Thursday. Please visit her site and link up!

Maybe This Year

I see the magazines full of holiday decorating ideas. The houses are absolutely beautiful and the families appear so happy. The children are wearing their nicest sweaters and their hair is combed to perfection. Even the family dog appears to have a smile.

I always buy these magazines, year after year, hoping to be inspired. I think 'This year I'm going to paint the living room', or 'This year I'm going to learn to sew and make my own curtains'. I mean, look at how happy these families are in their perfectly decorated homes and their plates of baked goods on the counters!

But honestly, I'm going on year 13 of having pale white walls and curtains I bought on sale at Target. My "List of Things to Do" is so long it could be mistaken for a short novel. I don't know why I don't have the drive to make the things I dream of making. I guess I missed out on the "Domestic Goddess: Maker of All Things" gene. But I'll keep buying those magazines. The covers are so pretty, I'll use those as holiday decorations ;->

Virtual Girls Night Out - Giveaway Too!

It is so-o-o cold and rainy today. Drag! If anyone is thinking of moving to the Pacific Northwest Fall is NOT the season to do it in. Wet, wet, wet. Cold, cold, cold. Let's warm things up and get cozy at the Virtual Girls Night Out!

Time For Some Tunes!

Yep. It's Friday the 13th. This tune is from an album titled "13 Songs". (I'm going wa-a-ay back here ;-> ) Turn it up!

Fugazi "Waiting Room"


Oh man, the memories this brings back. Being young was fun!


Time For A Cocktail!

Falling Leaf Fizz
Ingredients:
1 part Vodka
4 parts of sparkling wine
Dash of simple syrup
1 heaping teaspoon pumpkin butter
Pinch of pumpkin pie spice
dried apple chip for garnish

Preparation:
Place vodka, pumpkin butter, spice and syrup in the bottom of a champagne glass.
Stir well. Top with sparkling wine and garnish.

Goodness gracious. That should warm you up. A couple of those and I'd be out on the couch! I might skip the pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving and have this instead ;->
