to make Carly happy....
Now listen, my friends. I know that I frequently mention alcohol in my blog.
Here's the thing. When you're literally a soccer mom trapped in the mind numbing repetition of homework, laundry, groceries (rinse, repeat) you can take prozac, or you can tip a little every day, um, ...every now and then. Usually after the kids are in bed, of course.
OK, I am exaggerating. But let's see YOU listen to "Mom...Mom...Mom..." about 3,000 times a day and see if you don't look forward to happy hour.
SO today I went to my uncle C's house for a party for his daughter's high school graduation. Uncle C has worked hard all of his life and now has a BEAUTIFUL home that Carly would die happy in. He and Aunt R are wonderful people and it's so nice to see them really living the American dream.
Uncle C actually is about the only person who got me to drink at my wedding. I didn't want to be a drunk bride, yakking on my wedding night. Uncle C came over to me, and said "Please do a shot with me" .... it was Sambuca. Not a problem, he is old school Italian, and all he was asking was one shot, and it was an honor that he wanted to buy a shot for me to celebrate my joining the family. Until I drank that shot, of course... eeeeeyah. Holy snowflake. But it was still sweet of him.
(side story: there were people crashing my wedding for the free hors d's and open bar... I confronted the chick right after drinking said shot and scared her right out of the room.... must have been the sambuca on my breath and the way I raised my hands in exasperation after having a fruitless conversation with her... my mother overreacted and said "Carly, don't hit her!!" and chick ran out of the room....)
Anyway. Back to today.
Pama, or pomegranate liquor, is a mix of tequila, vodka, and California pomegranates.
Mix it half and half with Champagne, and see if you don't love me after having one (or two, or even three...)
I know, you already love me. Even though I tip a little bit too often. I love you too. No, really. ( I think I had four. Maybe five.... but the flutes were VERY skinny.)

Just dropped by to check out your site. Dr. John sent me.
Carly your my kind of person! A little tipping occasionally never hurt anyone!!! Dr John sent me.....but Ill be back on my own!
Dr. John sent me! Sometimes teenagers can drive a body to worse things than drinking!
I don't think that I could handle THAT drink! I refuse to drink Vodka ... it can sneak up on you; by then, it's too late. Tequilla makes me really mouthy & Champagne drifty.
I do, tho, use Gin for medicinal purposes only. I call it my external liniment for my bad back ... it relaxes me. It has, at times kept me from mutilating somebody or something.
DR. JOHN SENT ME ... I HAD FUN READING YOUR ENTRIES & REMEMBERING MY "MOMMY" DAYS.
