One More Day! One More Day!

Then I get the weekend off! YAY! Lol! It's probly nothing to.. all 2 of you that read my blog, but it's something major for me!

I can't believe how hard it is to find somebody to go to Atlantic City with me. At least we (my aunt and I) are going on September 4th, when it's cooler, but I wanted to go July 3rd, also. I could still go, but it'd be by myself. Man, I wish I had friends! Friends with no life, anyways, like me. I'd love to ask the neighbor down the street, but I don't know him that well. It actually doesn't cost much, if you take a bus trip. Round trip, it's only $32. Try to drive to Atlantic City on $32 worth of gas! Lol!

Well, tv really sucks tonight. Guess it's bedtime. *yawns.*

Wheeeeeeeeeewwwwwww - White Lightning!!

Oh, yeah.. this Green God Damn is so delish, I can't even tell you! It tastes sorts like a Whiskey Sour. My first taste was almost an hour ago, and I started sweating about 10 minutes agio.. lol. Feeling absolutely no pain as of this moment int imew. Het, loo, it look like I meowed.. lol But anyhoo's./.. tasted the Apple Pie tonight - now it tastes like a sweet cider. Very good. Can't imagine I'll have a hang over. Never had one in my life. Mike always hated that.. teehee.. lol. But yeah, I gotta finish this glass then hit the hay.n b Maybe shave my head.. i'm so greakin hot!! i insist that the reason I am seeing double, is because I'm not wearing my glasses. That's my story & i'm sticking to it!

Green God Damn - The Drink

I don't know if this is a drink Mike's family invented or what, but it's another recipe he gave me that involves the Grain. I bought the other ingredients tonight, and had every intention on making it. Still may tonight, but I had to *PROMISE* Mike to ~ONLY~ have half a normal glass. Talked to him today after I was done at Petco, making sure there were no additional ingredients. There's actually only 3 things in it, and depending on what order you mix it in, you make it into a slushie dessert. He calls it a 'creeper drink'.. that's why I had to promise to only have a little. Because he knows I don't drink often, and he thinks it'll knock me off my ass.

Well, no Green God Damn for me tonight! Found a flea on Lucky, which turned into a 3 hour adventure.. jeez. So off to bed for me, as it's now 11:23pm! Hopefully I'll get it made tomorrow after work!

Apple Pie Experiement - Day One

This aint your gramma's pastry I'm talkin' about. Oh, no.. no.. no...

If your a fan of grain alcohol, you might just like this. After tasting some of this applicious drink a few months ago, I decided I needed to make some for myself. But since I didn't have the recipe, I looked it up online. That brought up many versions, though. So what I did, was combine them into one. My first batch was made yesterday. Here's the recipe I used:

1 Gallon apple cider
1 Gallon apple juice
2 1/2 cups sugar
7 (3") cinnamon sticks
2 1/2 cups grain

Combine all ingredients, except grain, in large pot (I actually used our Nesco Roaster). Heat til sugar disolves. Most recipes say to bring to a boil, but Mike & I decided it wasn't necessary.. lol! Then let cool COMPLETELY! If you don't, the heat will evaporate the alcohol. And grain is SO not cheap - so don't waste it by thinking it's 'cool enough' - be SURE! What I did to hurry the process along, was float ice packs in it.. my mom's idea! Worked like a charm! You could also use ice cubes in a ziplock bag.. after it's cooled a bit first. Don't want to melt the plastic! I read that the longer you leave the cinnamon sticks in, the stronger the cinnamon gets. I took mine out after it was completely cooled. I tasted it before I put the alcohol in, even though, of course, it would taste totally different when cold. It did taste a bit sweet, but pretty much tasted like cider. Time for the grain! It was added.. stirred, tasted, stirred, tasted... WOW! Strooooooooong. But to see how different it would taste iced, I put some in the freezer. It was still sweet, but I drank it, anyways.. lol! Then this morning, I sipped it again, and it sorta mellowed out. Nice! This might work, after all! Tonight after work, I tried it again - even better. I guess the flavors just had to sit & mix for a bit. I'll see how much better it tastes tomorrow. It *is* only a bit over 24 hours old.

Good Evening, Kids!

Still wondering why I am so attracted to the bad boys.. Lol! Was suppose to go out tonight to a friends house, but he called me tonight after work & we talked about it. And both decided it was just the wrong time. If it was meant to be, it was meant to be. Apparently, it wasn't. I guess subliminally, I was having second thoughts, also. Because when I hung up, I felt as if a weight was lifted. I spent the majority of my life alone, so I'm use to it. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just what I know. Not sure what's going on... I sure as hell don't look any different, but it's as if suddenly guys are noticing me now. Poor bastards.. LOL! I'm just not use to being flirted with - but mamma like. Me & this guy at work flirt something TERRIBLE! If I was 20 years younger, and if he wasn't such a man-whore, I'd be all over him.

~10 minutes later~

Sorry, what was I saying? He's just.. freakin SMOKIN' HOT. He's the kind of guy, that the more you know him & are around him, the better he gets. And that stubble he has.. OMMFG! I could literally stare at him all day. I get bummed when he comes in all clean-shaven.. lol. The next time he does, I think I'll rub my hand over his check & go "awww... I liked the stubble.." If he comes in with a goatee, they'll have to mop me up off the floor. I just.. whew. Just a fantasy crush, is all. ;) I about died when he threw a kiss at me the other day.. LOL! I just wiggled my eyebrows and threw one back.. hehe.

ANYWAYS... there's pics on the camera from this past winter. That's how long it's been since I got any off it. You can't rush into these things, ya know. Lots of Lucky pics, some crafts, our renovation of my parents bathroom, a few from the Beaver Lake show, and from Easter. Haven't gotten a pic of #2 (The Mike that lives down the road) yet, but I have a plan. *Rubs chin devilishly* >:^D I think alot about him, too. A-L-O-T. I gotta get up enough courage to ask him out before he's taken. He's usually walking to work as I'm getting out of the shower. Not that I watch for him, or anything. *cough* Or leave the window open just enough, so that there's a straight shot from the road into the shower. :)~ And I noticed the other day, he also has a barbed wire tattoo on the same arm I do. Well, mine's a wrist-wrap, his is on his very muscular bicept. (Damn, I wish I could put a sound clip in here.. it'd be a cat purring.. lol)

Man, those screaming kids down the road are seriously throwing off my mojo. Guess I've rambled on enough. Oh!! IT'S FINALLY RAINING!! WOO HOO!!!!! Aaaand, it stopped. What a tease.

AACCKKK! My aunt just scared the living shit outta me! LMAO! She came up to the window & said hi - it's dark out & I can't see.. lol. Anyhoo's, I'm off to bed. No drugs tonight, either. Imagine that shit.
