I can't believe it's already Memorial Weekend. I feel like I was just vacuuming up pine needle remnants from the Christmas tree and covertly tucking away our Elf on a Shelf. I suppose this marks the end of Candy Season...you know, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter. … [Read more...] about Over 21 Iced Tea – 5:00 Fridays

Bonne Cher – 5:00 Fridays
I unabashedly love Cher. The old Cher. The original. The Cher from Mask and 70s kitschy variety shows. I even love the tacky yet glam Bob Mackie Cher. Today is Cher's birthday. I had a fabulous Cher doll when I was a kid. She had a shiny black mane of hair that was … [Read more...] about Bonne Cher – 5:00 Fridays
I Feel Fine – 5:00 Fridays
I realize that today is Friday the 13th. I don't have any friends named Jason so I'm not too worried.

It's become a tradition of sorts. My first Race for the Cure was for Susan, whom I had read about but … [Read more...] about Pink Ladies – 5:00 Fridays
Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays
I've just spent the better part of a week in San Diego for spring break with my family. No, we didn't go to the zoo. Yes, we went to Sea World and LEGOLAND. We ate copious amounts of fish tacos and drank our weight in margaritas (on the rocks, with salt). Mac Daddy and Bird … [Read more...] about Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays
Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays
It's almost spring break, and that means just one thing: tequila! I never was a spring break kind of girl. My senior year of college I was home with the chicken pox over spring break while all my friends went to Mexico. But who am I kidding? My dad would have never let me go … [Read more...] about Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays
