🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸 Drink UP 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

[wannabmama]

I am pinned on the couch by a sleeping H and sleeping dog. I am trying to do work but it's hard to type in this position, but they are so cute I can't handle waking them up. I also want a glass of wine, but...see above...can't move. Eventually I will wake them, I suppose.

I'm not drinking today, but we have a friend over and he's doing a charity steam while drinking cheap sriracha vodka. No way that stuff tastes good. I don't know how he's doing it.

I miss Sunday dinners at my ILs. 😢 Sometimes I get so homesick.

Right? That is not going to be a smooth ride.

I made Blondies yesterday minus the chocolate chips because I somehow ran out. But it's taking all my willpower to not eat them all.

I lost a bet with H and had to make him his favorite desert, it's these chocolate chip bars (like blondies), he calls them congo bars...anyway, I made them today, they smell amazing. I have somehow only eaten one...so far...
He essentially eats almost no added sugar, so this is a HUGE treat in our house, ha!

Blake is the same way. These are like the only dessert he likes. Surprisingly I don't make them that often, though. Though really I don't make much of anything anymore. Jackson's birthday is coming up, though. I think I'm going to make him a cheesecake again this year. Assuming I can find the recipe I used last year because it was sooo good.

[Deleted]

Though.

[wannabmama]

I love to bake, but since it would fall to me to eat it all, it rarely happens, ha.
I found a recipe today for this apple cranberry upside down cake that I am dying to make for something.
and...I love cheesecake, I've never made it, though!

H finally got up, time for me to have a glass of wine...or some boozy cider.

I know what you mean. Would you guys ever move back?

Never. Blake won't even go visit yet. We're so much happier and healthier out here. Both physically and mentally. Being a liberal atheist in small town Indiana is just not fun.

[Deleted]

The only way I end up back there is if Blake dies and I have to move in with his parents.

I am currently drinking a lime-a-rita (all I had in the house and Im not completely sure its not expired) and working on my outline for my english comp2 class (hence the alcohol).

Poor DH had a terrible day yesterday. While at the farm working calves he managed to get his thumb stuck between 2 cattle panels and tried to tear off his thumb. He didn't damage the bone but ripped off the pad of his thumb (where his fingerprint would be). So we got to spend a good portion of the day in the ER and then later that night one of the guys he co-ops cattle with died while working calves. We think he had a heart attack.
So it was a no good very bad day. Which is the extra reason I am drinking today.

Oh goodness. I hope both the guys are alright. That sounds like a really stressful/painful day.

DH is fine but our friend passed away. He was unmarried with no kids but thankfully has siblings still in the area. I feel for his family because just a couple of weeks ago they lost their dad and now their brother.

diamondsndaisies yikes that is quite a day yesterday, sorry about YH thumb and also for the sudden death, that sounds like a no good very bad day.

I found a spiked seltzer in the back of the fridge earlier today...I couldn't decide how old it is, so we kept it. I mean, it's in a can in the fridge, certainly it will last a long time, right?!?

I clearly didn't read that well. Sorry. So sad.

I finally decided to have a little b-day party for the girls and I am getting a red velvet cake because I am going with the fact that they were bound to be like their mother and would have wanted red velvet as well. No one is going to persuade me otherwise  

[teraiin]

H has decided he "deserves the weekend off" so our usually very good chore system has fallen apart. Boo. We usually divvy up the chores.

[TheEleventhHour]

Send me all of your various dessert bars please!

diamondsndaisies Wow. That sounds like a crazy stressful day. Hugs!

Who doesn't like red velvet?! I'm sure they would love it.

Boo. Maybe you deserve the weekend off, too! CHORE STRIKE!

We stocked up on beer for the debate tonight. Should be very entertaining.

I know right? Now DH is out at the farm again today (wouldn't take his pain killers so he could be out there helping) since they are now permanently a man down. He took his brother out there with him so that makes me feel a little better.

Ugh, I should drink during tonight's debate. Would probably help my mood. lol. I hope it's not going to be as bad as I assume it will be.

[RajahMD]

diamondsndaisies

Oh shit! That sucks about your husband's thumb. I hope it heals quickly.

And so sorry to hear about the sudden death. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

[TheEleventhHour]

I am not drinking. I have been on the hunt for this awesome wine we drank a couple of weekends ago when we were out for our anniversary. I cannot find it anywhere! I am going to have to buy it online I suppose.

Dinner is yummy though. Meatball subs!
