Thirsty Thursday...

Well it is finally Thursday evening which means two things: (1) Grey’s Anatomy and (2) tomorrow is finally FRIDAY! I must say that this week has been one extremely long week since I didn’t work at all last week. No, I’m not a slacker I promise. As I mentioned on the first post, I was inspired to start this blog because I went to a technology conference with work last week. Then we had our surprise snow storm which lead to school being closed Thursday and Friday. I must say to all those people who complained that we never got snow... I sure hope you are happy now and have gotten enough of what you asked for. I just hope Punxsutawney Phil was correct about an early spring. It is hard to believe this time last week we had a sheet of ice and several inches of snow on the ground and today it was 72 degrees. Welcome to the south - if you don’t like the weather, stick around it will change soon. 

Anyhow, getting back in the swing of getting up a 4:45am has taken its tole on me and I am drained. Unfortunately, tonight my neighbors are not so tired. Since I live in a college town almost anywhere one lives they have a college student near. I get the pleasure of living near a few of them. It is almost 10pm and I’m ready for bed... they on the other hand are just now getting ready to go out... Oh the college days, when we would come home, take naps, get up at 8 or 9, get ready to go to the bar, and then finally go to the bar around 10. I’ve progressed into adulthood for sure because I couldn’t imagine doing that right now - all I want in my bed!

So, in honor of the college years and “Thirsty Thursday” I thought I’d post my favorite yummy drink...

Lemon Drop Martini:

Ingredients

• 1½ ounces Vodka
• ½ ounce Triple Sec
• 1 tsp Superfine Sugar
• ¾ ounce Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
• Ice Cubes
• Superfine sugar, for dipping
• Twisted Peel of Lemon

The Making of the Lemon Drop Martini:

1. Mix vodka, triple sec, sugar and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker, which has been half-filled with ice.
2. Shake really well.

3. Now, pour the strained liquor into a sugar-rimmed martini glass.

4. Garnish with a twisted peel of lemon while you forget about your twisted week at work.

For sugar coating your glass:

Rub a lemon wedge across the drinking surface of the glass, barely moistening it. Dip the rim of the glass into sugar and you’re ready to go as soon as you add the liquid with a twist.

ENJOY  :)

and since I’m partaking in the “Thirsty Thursday” blogging experience, I figured a few inspirational quotes - okay more like amusing quotes on the topic - would put a smile on your face.
