Happy Birthday To Me!

I celebrated another birthday this past Christmas! Whoo-hooo!!!

I have some pictures I want to share and I haven't forgotten about the RAK I promised all of you. So sorry...something unexpected came up. All good, not to worry. Just haven't had a chance to pop in just now.

I promise to post another RAK real soon! Just wanted to say hello and hope you're all doing well this holiday season!

I'll be back real soon......for now, be safe and be good! {wink}

Mai-Tai Recipe

As you know, I'm having a Cocktail Party on the 29th - you're all invited BTW. Well, if you can't make it, bring the party to you and here's an FANTASTIC Mai-Tai recipe to indulge in. Tried it last night, and it's out of this world! I know someone who'd enjoy this ---- missing me Rene?! {wink}

Mai-Tai

2 oz. Bacardi Rum
3 oz. Mr & Mrs. T Mai-Tai Mix
1/2 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Orgeat (vanilla flavored liquor)
1/2 oz. Vanilla Syrup
Lime juice to taste

Put all in a shaker with ice. Shake away. Pour in a nice cocktail glass, and DRINK!!!

ENJOY!!!

Thanks For Making My Day....

Yesterday I was a bit disappointed about a situation and so my reason for posting this yesterday. Then a real good friend of mine said this to me:

"Sometimes you plant the seed. Other times you get to harvest. Being a seed planter is a blessing too- remember that. Your reward will be in Heaven and God gives the best rewards of all!!"

Those were music to my ears ~ thanks for making my day!

Like I said, I count my blessings...

Thank God for friends!

I'm Glad It Finally Clicked!

People don't listen until they're ready to listen.

Have you heard that saying before?

How many times have you given advice to people and often you think it's going in deaf ears.

Then one day you hear them say, "so and so told me such and such and I'm so glad for it". Only that the so and so and such and such isn't you?!?

I know, it's heart crushing.

But.....we have to look at it another way, so it doesn't hurt too much.

Like, at least NOW they finally get it.

It's taken me until I'm blue in the face to say the same thing to someone but it took someone else for them to listen to.

UGH!

Such is life, I guess.

I'm counting my blessings.....

Happy Monday!

DS and I went to Target this morning. They're starting to put all Christmas stuff on clearance! I finally bought a 48" wreath to go over our front door. Gotta love that Target!

If you haven't caught on yet...I love to shop. The funny thing is so does my son. My daughter I can understand....but my son?? I wonder if he'll ever outgrow it. The first thing he always tells me when he wakes up in the morning is "Mommy, can we go shopping now?!" Too funny!

We're having a cocktail party on the 29th, so I'm getting ready and buy all the necessities. You guys wanna come?! {wink}

Who here has a great recipe for Mai-Tais?? Post it!

TTFN~
