I had my first Lemon Drop!         While at the Melting Pot after looking over the menu several times and still not coming up with anything that I thought I would like I just asked the waitress for something lemony.  That's when she suggested the Lemon Drop. And since I love all things lemon I said sure!       This was the perfect drink for me.  It wasn't to sweet or tart (as long as you like lemons).  To me I was reminded of my childhood favorite Lemonheads   with some alcohol.  I would definitely recommend this for Ladies Night and I give it   4 stars out of 5.   Feel Free to comment and share with your friends!

 When I was in high school like most seniors I turned 18 right before graduation.  Around that time the relationship begins to change a little between my mother and I and I was able to ask questions that I'm not sure I would have been able to ask at a younger age.  There was a song by a group called 'Solo' name "Where do you want me to put it?"        Being young I had so many questions and so little knowledge and didn't understand the half of the meaning of that song! My comment to my mother was why would they ask that question they don't know?   Mama:  I think it's very thoughtful since there are several places to choice from. Me: (with the wide eyes and everything) Have you ever had Oral Sex? (I asked in a loud whisper because I knew a slap was coming at any moment right) Mama: (after a moment a thought she answered) Well.......you can't just do anybody! and that was as much nerve as I had for that conversation!  Feel Free ...

Moldy Cheese Day  is today. Do you have any moldy cheese in your refrigerator? Do you need to have moldy cheese to celebrate this day? And, if you have any moldy cheese, what would you do with it today? Every once in a while, we come across a special day that has no apparent rhyme or reason. Today is one of those days. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate this wonderful(?) and special holiday. Au contrare....... scour through the refrigerators at home and work today for moldy cheese. Office refrigerators are a great place to find moldy stuff. See if that moldy piece of cheese is salvageable. And, just enjoy the day. If you find moldy cheese , take a slice off each side. The insides should still be good. Did you Know?  Mold is common in cheese. Its part of what gives a particular cheese flavor and character. For example, the blue stuff in Blu Cheese is mold.   http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/October/moldycheeseday.htm Fe...

A few weeks ago I got married. YAY!!!! Well I only told my kids, my mom and my grandmother. And  as you can guess for some people that didn't go over to well. Grandmother: So how is your friend? Me: She's fine, she's mad because I didn't tell her until after I did it. Grandmother: Am I missing something? Was that a requirement? Me: No, she said I didn't allow her to share in my happiness that I cut her out and it hurt her feelings. Grandmother:  Why do you kids always have to make somebody else's joy about you?  Ok, she can be mad but get over it! And you, Don't apologize for doing what makes you happy and at the end fo the day the only people that matter are you in him.  He loves you and right now your only focus should be being happy in the life you were given.  If your friends can't be happy in that maybe you need to decide if these are people you want around. So I'm going to leave that right there and be happy and enjoy the life I hav...

      A few months ago The Mr. informed me that I should be at the age where I no longer brought boxed wine.  After careful contemplation and research I thought that maybe I would try his way. Especially since I considered that since moving to California I have found a benefit to recycling and buying bottles helps me earn more money I thought why not. Also I thought that maybe since I'm almost forty maybe he as a point!       Now I have to say that I have tried a lot of wines before.  Only now I have decided that maybe I needed to tell someone about them.  So of course it's you my lucky readers.  I have think I may look into doing a regular post and see how it goes.  This week choice was Cupcakes Vineyards Pinot Grigio.  I do not remember how much it was but I know to remember that for next time. I should also say that what I like in my wine is a fruity, sweet taste.  This had neither.  But I picked it simply becaus...

Date When Celebrated :  Always October 3 Virus Appreciation Day  is today. It gives us the opportunity to show a little respect for nasty viruses. Respect!? You want to give viruses respect? I should think not. Rather, let's give them a good dose of penicillin. Unfortunately, the creators of this day did not identify themselves. Nor, did they leave a record of what kind of viruses we are supposed to appreciate on this day. Human, animal and computer viruses readily come to mind. We sure can appreciate the seriousness and significance of both human and computer viruses. And, we can worry that animal (aka bird flu) viruses may jump over to affect humans. So, let's dedicate today to appreciating that viruses can be very serious, if not deadly. Let's then take measures to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and even our computers. to minimize the risk of serious viruses. Perhaps  Virus Appreciation Day  would be better if titled  Virus Awarene...
