What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Always love hot chocolate but this time of year I gotta have me some eggnog too and I have never liked the alcoholic kind. Just give it to me straight up!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother made a cold green punch with lime sherbet, long ago. It also includes pineapple juice and sprite. I think she used it for parties. I remembered it a couple years ago and now make it for New Years (when I normally have a house full). I make it in a punch bowl, always, part of the charm.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest issue - lime sherbet is very hard to find.

Hot Chocolate is a special treat and I usually spike it with some Bailey's Irish Cream or candy cane liqueur. But on regular days I'll reach for an apple cider flavored herbal tea. I love it but I don't actually like real apple cider or hot mulled cider.
ReplyDeleteWell, when I'm not being lazy, I try to drink tea. I love hot chocolate and have all the stuff for it, but I have yet to enjoy a cup this year...literaly, a year! I've had to throw out more stale marshmallows than I care to admit. Every weekend I say I should make some hot chocolate, then I see a shiny piece of cellophane wrapper on the floor from a random dog biscuit and my mind is already off subject. Hence, I mostly drink water. ROFL
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a tea drinker, but I do like hot chocolate, cider and eggnog. I'm not much of a drinker, but once in a while I do like to add a little "kick" to whatever I'm drinking.
ReplyDeleteHomemade hot chocolate, with chocolate pieces, and a shot (or two) of Peppermint Schnapps!
