I'm staying up late and getting blitzed. Anybody want to hang out?

I'm sipping on some authentic Polish vodka. I can't read the label, so I can't tell if it's distilled from grain, like a proper vodka, or from potatoes, like the cheap stuff...

How's everybody doing tonight?

If you aren't Slavic, be careful with that stuff. It's deadly.

Rum, a little bit of orange liquor like a Grand Marnier, and I don't know what to make. I could do a cuba libre. I have some True Lime and True Lemon to flavor a drink. I have cola, tea, apple juice. No special mixers. Any ideas?

I don't really follow basketball. but I was born and raised in San Antonio, so I'm pulling for them. Especially since Seattle lost their basketball team, to Oklahoma of all places!...

I just had a slice of blueberry bread for dessert, though! It was yummy...

I'm doing pretty well tonight, thanks. Last night was even better, since it was my wedding anniversary and we went out for dinner. I got a little buzz on with 6 oz of the house white zin.

Cheers!

Next weekend (the one after this immediate weekend!) we're leaving for Italy!

We always have fun, no matter what we're doing or where we are. We're both pretty old now, and we sure treasure each other...

Thanks, sweetie...

Every day IS precious.

bored.. I had this pale Ale in the fridge. I think it has to be stronger than regular beer. I just know the last time I had one bottle, I could not even finish it without wanting to go pass out.. in my bed. Stuff was strong, and that was one bottle!
