Friday Poll

We're heading into the weekend, and boy has it been a long week. I know some of you have had a rough time of it lately as well.

Which alcoholic beverage is your favorite?

And if you don't drink alcohol, is there a virgin version of something that you like?

Rough week = alcohol.

Love it!

I love red wine, but I wouldn't say no to a margarita, either.

Have a good weekend,

This time of year, I like a nice chilled Reisling, but I also can't say no to a top-shelf martini. I don't like the dolled up versions—just straight up with two olives or maybe a splash of cranberry juice, and I'm a happy girl.

Dark beer. I'd take a Guinness above anything else, but sometimes a glass of wine or margarita are more appropriate.

I don't drink, but in the day it was Southern Comfort on the Rocks.
There is no virgin version of that one, unless I'm sucking ice. :)

The funny thing is, I don't drink either! But, it sure is sounding kind of good this week.

Depends on my mood. Red wine. Or a ceasar (clamato and vodka). Or, if I'm in the mood for something sweet, a little Baileys.

But I think I only have about one drink a month.

Red Wine!! White wine coming in as a close second (especially on hot days).

White wine most of the time, with the occasional Margarita. Love the margarita, but ugh, about a million calories each, so I don't have too many of those. Sigh.

J we are not going to think about the calories in a margarita this weekend!

Sadly I have strawberry margarita in my fridge, but am alone w/ the kids tonight. So no drinks for me. Looks like it's Sierra Mist Free for me.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
