Sure does. In fact, I think I found the perfect drink for you.

Monster Mash

1 oz gold rum
1 oz lemon schnapps
2 oz vodka
12 oz Monster® energy drink

Mix everything in a large beer glass and enjoy!





What? Don't you like pretzels?



Ugh, I need to do my nails. The paint is all chipped. *sigh*

Perfect, a Monster Mash for everyone here.
 
Only when I have had a little bit too much to drink!

Speaking of drink. I want something sweet today. Surprise me.

How about My Sweet Red Lips?

2 oz vodka
2 oz raspberry schnapps
3 oz cranberry juice

Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with crushed ice, or blend with ice. Strain into glass.



Got a no-chip and a paraffin wax....and a coconut pedicure with a polish. I'm all pretty and girly now ;)

I am sitting down to do mine. Wanna pick the color? I am torn between Feeling Hot or Berry Red or Wing it Wine.


out of whisky here.... oh the humanity!


Whisky neat please (if you have any)


thanks for the kisses, here is on more :kiss:

You got it. Just answer the cover. [laughs]

What song from your childhood still makes you smile? Mine was Charlie Daniels' "Devil Went Down to Georgia"

Afternoon everyone!

Ahh... today has been a pretty good day. Even though school called off, the kids have been really good. I even got a chance to relax and be a little girly. :eek: Looks like doing my nails last night kind of kicked off something for me. Today I went in and played around with makeup and hair. [laughs] It was fun! Although it always makes me feel a little.. not sad.. but annoyed with myself.

Can I tell you a secret?

Here I am an almost 40 year old woman...EEK!... and I lament the fact that in my youth I never had the guts to do what I wanted. I don't mean that I am dissatisfied with my life but more that I let others opinion of me stop me from looking the way I wanted to look. I absolutely adore the tattooed rockabilly look. The juxtaposition of tattoos against the demure 30/40/50s fashion.

The feminine clothing layered on top of a painted body. I think that is amazingly cool. I kick myself that I let my parents' and husband's view on tattoos stop me from doing it. And, to be honest, my own issues with body image didn't help.

I think if I could, I would go back and tell my younger self to go for it!

So what about you? If you could go back and do something differently, tell yourself something important... what would you do or say? (Let's leave off the whole 'but if I didn't live my life the way I did I wouldn't have what I have today rational. Let's pretend that the good things in your life would be unaffected.) Would you get a tattoo? Go backpacking across Europe? Tell yourself to chill out or get more serious? What would you do?

Blu :kiss:
 
Be more outgoing and showing less fear as a teen. That is what I would tell my younger self.
 
Rejection...embarrassment...outgoing in approaching girls...more outgoing in terms of the activities I was involved...

You know, I would ask why you weren't but I can guess... fear of looking silly? Isn't it funny how that never goes completely away?
 
I would tell a much younger self to man up! Send in those stories. Work harder in school! Ask that cute girl out! You will be surprised at what will happen if you just say fuck it and do it!

So why didn't you do it?

Short answer: chicken.

Over-thinking it answer: I over thought all the horrible things that would happen, and I wouldn't like the rejection, and it would just bring my whole world crashing down atop of me!

I just didn't have any confidence back then. Now.... I still don't, but I like to pretend I do.

I think confidence is a learned skill. Something that you have to work at, struggle through. Sadly it is a skill we need when we are young and yet few acquire it until they are older.

Blu :kiss:

I would tell my younger self that getting a teaching degree would be well worth the time in college and that I'd make a damned fine teacher.

I was convinced growing up that I had nothing to offer anyone else and was too damaged to amount to anything. Knowing what I know now, I'd tell myself to get it together, screw the negative nellies and go for it.

Hey there, sugar! Long time, no see! How ya been? :kiss:

Don't you hate that little negative voice? Why do we let it dictate so many aspects of our lives?

Agreed. Why is it that by the time we learn what we want/need to know, we are past the point that we needed those skill sets.
