I was at Trader Joe's last night. The cashier, who was ever so friendly, asked me what I was going to do with all the Meyer lemons in my cart. "Why, make cocktails!" I exclaimed. I think we could totally be friends because she didn't bat an eye when I said that. I have several … [Read more...] about Meyer Lemme-Have-Some-More Aid – 5:00 Fridays

Shot@Life – 5:00 Fridays TM

Don’t Cupcake and Drive – 5:00 Fridays TM

They went to bed in fits of giggles and wide-eyed wonder and kept popping out from … [Read more...] about Just Snow – 5:00 Fridays TM
Edith’s Fizz – 5:00 Fridays
A couple days from now (January 12, if you're a stickler for precision) marks the date on which the very first episode of All the Family aired in 1971. I remember watching that show when I was a kid. This was before the days of helicopter parental supervision apparently. I'm not … [Read more...] about Edith’s Fizz – 5:00 Fridays
It’s Getting Hot in Here – 5:00 Fridays TM
I'm starting 2013 with no resolutions. I break them anyway, and I don't need anything else to make me feel inadequate. I'll simply continue living my life, living the dream, living la vida loca. I'm so far on the wild side right now that I am munching on Doritos. Doritos are the … [Read more...] about It’s Getting Hot in Here – 5:00 Fridays TM
