November is HERE and the Holiday Season is in FULL Swing....at least for me

I love Christmas!!! I wish we could celebrate it all year long, but since there are other holidays to celebrate around July--when I just can't contain myself. That's when the Xmas music goes on.....but I play it softly and only for a little while.

Then around September, when the school year begins I get a little more excited and start playing my Xmas music a little bit louder...dreaming of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens :)

But now that it is November and it is officially nippy outside, I am going full speed towards the holidays. Gonna get my eggnog and whisky (Don't judge), get the Christmas tree up, and start wishing joy to the world.

Still Not an Alchie

My mother just asked if there was any wine left. Which there wasn't(still not an alchie). I consider this a win for me cause its always better to drink socially than alone. Even if it is with my mother...sigh.

I would like a nice dessert wine right about now actually....maybe a rose?

Thirsty?

A few days ago, my younger brother said to me; "Nobody wants to be friends with an alcoholic". Now I don't really consider myself an alchie and I certainly haven't been drinking that much at home. A glass of wine here and there (or nightly) is not considered a problem....is it? But if brother has noticed enough to start commenting then, hmmm.... But in my defense, my family could drive anyone to drink.

Due to the fact that I haven't been visiting the bars recently(lack of funds, plus I'm not really much of a bar-hopper), I have kept my my drink of choice to refreshing summer wines such as chardonnays and pinots. At times I do wish I could order a gin and tonic(so very Gossip Girl). Or one of these:

3 of My Favorite Fab Drinks.....for Now

Whiskey Sour: There's just something about Mr. Jack Daniels hooking up with some lemons and sugar that just really does it for me. I once tried to drink whiskey on the rocks, but apparently those are really left for divorced women who reek of cigarette butts working the 10pm-6am shift on the corner. Basically people with far too depressing lives. The whiskey sour, on the other hand, is a classy drink and my all time favorite.



Cosmopolitan: This was my first legally purchased drink and I must say it was a fabulous choice. A cosmo says sophisticated and classy, or you're trying really hard to be. I like to think of myself as simply upscale, but I may have just seen one Sex & the City rerun too many. These tasty drinks can come in so many different flavors, concoctions, etc, it's like a differnt drink each time(except not really). I especially like the ones with the sugar rimmed glasses. What can I say, I'm a girl.




Daiquiri: I once went on vacation to a tropical paradise where I had the most amazing mango daiquiri. It was delectable, made with fresh mangoes, and drunk on a beach while looking out at the Atlantic Ocean. I like to order these to pretend I am back on vacation, soaking up sun without a care in the world. Sigh...nothing like a cocktail made with fresh fruit...



Hmm...listing some of my favorite drinks...if that doesn't say alchie, I don't know what does.
