I feel the same way. I've been holding off on some things while the kids have been home but once they are both back, I'm playing catch up for the last few months. Saaaaame. Dental/eye/hair. Might as well make an GYN appointment while I’m at it, huh? Yes to all of those...deferred maintenance, ha.

We haven't gotten a drop of rain. Some wind but no rain. And we need it for our beans. Makes me think of this:

slenle my husband mentioned wanting Mexican the other day and I didn't even think of the food. My mind just went straight to the margarita. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think the best marg is original lime, on the rocks, with a salted rim. Very traditional. Most of the blended ones don't have the same appeal for me even though if I drink, it's usually something floofy and tropical.

Serenity now...Madison is in a peach of a mood and I want to be far away from her wrath. She will be a nightmare when she actually hits puberty because she already acts like she's there.

I am here too (extra salt, please) and on the rare case of a daiquiri I want a banana one or pina colada.

Ohhhh I’m not really a cocktail girl, but i Love a good g/t, mojito or strawberry daiquiri. Back I the day when i was young and fun, we used to go dancing in a Cuban place that served the best strawberry daiquiris ever, we felt so grown up and fancy drinking those .

Most of the blended ones don't have the same appeal for me even though if I drink, it's usually something floofy and tropical. If I could only drink one drink for the rest of my life, it would be exactly that one. I attribute this to the fact that my best friend’s parents who have the beach house where MH and I met and who took me to Aruba with them 4 times have daily margarita hour with that exact drink. We’d come home from the beach, shower, and have margarita before heading to dinner. I saw them on the beach today, may need to throw the baby in the carriage and take a walk down their block in an hour....

I’m also happy with original or flavored.

There used to be a bar here that had a bunch of frozen drinks in the machines they use for slurpees. I would always get 1/2 strawberry daiquiri and 1/2 pina colada. Yum.

H said her first day was “so fun!” She is mostly excited that she got to being home an iPad I think. I had to wake up V to go pick H up and she was not impressed. Of course the first thing S did was told H we got donuts without her this morning. Oh well, everyone is happy and playing or napping now.

I don't like margaritas. Or frozen drinks. One bad night of too much tequila and I don't like the sweetness of most frozen drinks. I mean, I'll drink them if it's the only option, but I'd much prefer a glass of wine or beer.
Evie said her knee feels all better. I'm going to keep an eye on it and see if maybe the new anti inflammatory doesn't work for the extended period as the other and that is an issue and maybe she needs it more than twice a day? I'm not sure, but I'm glad.
Pick up was as much of a shit show as yesterday. A sheriff drove by and I thought he was going to direct traffic, there were clearly people sitting there that weren't picking their kids up from school, but nope. There was even a bus waiting to turn into pick up.

Would love a good margarita now. Yum. I plan to get Mexican takeout tomorrow, but I don’t think they are doing margaritas to go 😒

I plan to get Mexican takeout tomorrow, but I don’t think they are doing margaritas to go 😒 During the height of Covid when all the restaurants were only doing take-out, some emergency law/policy got passed here in FL that allowed restaurants to sell alcoholic drinks (individual or 'pitchers') to-go. #priorities I thought it was a good idea, plus liquor is typically pretty profitable so the restaurants could make some $.

H is going to bed early. After supper she turned into a giant brat, being mean to everyone. I think she’s overtired from going to school all day today.

Surprise!... I got quite the buzz off my jumbo marg. Came home and spray painted the $5 Facebook marketplace chair I found for N’s school station. We’ll see how it looks in the morning 😂 now I’m on to a glass of pinto Grigio and sitting on the patio with Dh.

I usually don’t like frozen drinks because they’re too sweet. My exception is pina coladas in Hawaii.
I like my margaritas on the rocks with salt, no sweet and sour. Just lime juice, tequila & Cointreau.

They are still doing this in RI. Obviously we don’t partake but some of the deals are really good. Lots of restaurants do family meals or dinners for two that include drinks that are a great value.

I very much remember being maybe 3 or 4 and going for donuts after my sister was dropped off at the bus and my mom being like you are NOT going to tell your sister about this and rub it in😂

Like the end tables have 3 on them. You don't have to sand in between coats if you catch it in between recoat times. And since I didn't know what recoat time was I asked. He said Depends on what varnish you use. Usually it has to sit for a couple hours before recoat and if it goes longer than like 6 hours you should sand. So read your can and see what it says. And if there's any bubbles or waves, lightly sand them out. ETA: If she has to sand use 220 or finer. And try to plan it so she doesn't have to sand in between the first and second coat. Lightly sand. Its easy to burn through the first coat of poly.
