Blog Week FAIL

I have been trying so hard to stay up with my blogging. I realize I am not staying on top of my blogging "game" very well. So I am attempting to make up for my FAIL by making one big blog post to cover everything!

Work has been super busy between last week and this week. I was able to plan some blog posts from before, but never even remembered to take a quick second from my day to be able to create my blog posts.. So HERE WE GO!

Wordless Wednesday



Thirsty Thursday 
Tequila Sunrise
Growing up as a kid, every summer my Mom, Sister and I would accompany my Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins to their timeshare in Palm Springs. This trip always took place in the MIDDLE of summer when the temperature was 105-115+. I honestly thing these times trained me in a way for the Arizona heat I now deal with every summer out here. My family was a "dry" family and alcohol was really the devil. However, I remember one summer my Uncle made us Virgin Tequila Sunrises which actually got me to drink my Orange Juice! In memory of that, there is a "virgin" option and a "hard" option for this drink, and right now that makes me happy.

HARD OPTION
2 oz tequila (Jose Cuervo Your My Boy)
4 oz Orange Juice (I use Sunny Delight)
1 oz Grenadine
Garnish with a lime or orange wedge (we threw in cherries)

VIRGIN OPTION
6 oz Orange Juice
1 oz Grenadine
Garnish with a orange wedge (or cherries again!)



Flashback Friday


I was driving on my way to work today and REALLY wanted to call out "GO GO GADGET HELICOPTER" because the guy in front of me was going 40 in a 55. Now, mind you I have a 45 minute commute to work and I do run into my share of less than wonderful drivers and I try very hard to have patience during this commute because even though sometimes I feel these drivers woke up with their mission to get in my way, I know they are most likely half asleep at the wheel and are regretting their day ahead just as I am.

With that being said, when was the last time you got the Inspector Gadget song stuck in your head? This sadly, is a frequent occurrence for me. I loved Inspector Gadget growing up as a kid, and I actually looked forward to growing up and seeing the day when there were prototypes and things for sale that Inspector Gadget would've made himself (or endorsed). I hope this awesome Beatboxing Flute Player gets stuck in your head and you can share in my "Inspector Gadget Theme Song" misery today!
