Lol...yeah, a glass made for highballs.... Which my parents drank in the 70's :-p But a highball is a term for alcohol and a mixer. Gin and tonic, seven and seven, scotch and soda, etc. Those are timeless! I haven't heard the term since I was a little kid. A quick google search says it an outdated term but that it is used in some regions....I guess this is another regional difference.

I bought the fixings for mimosas, but the champagne isn't cold yet. It will be in time for "Mimosa Sunday." Dang, I don't want to go back to school. I can't drink and do lesson plans at the same time. Guess which one is more fun? Do,your lesson plans while drinking. Live a little. There was a defense attorney when i was an asst DA who used to drink when he wrote some of his letters. They were freaking hysterical. They guy had sarcasm, condescension, and haughtiness down as an art. I'd have to get out the dictionary so I knew what he was saying. He died a few years ago. I miss him.

I think at this point it's just a term used for the style of glassware. I have Collins glasses and Old Fashioned glasses, but I don't use those glasses strictly for those drinks.

I live no where near Swamp's DH, and yet we're the only two who know the expression "dooryard." I'll have a margarita, please.

Well, before you get too far off into Margaritaville . . . You are smart - You are capable - You are making good progress in your career & have much more you can do!! I figure you must be smart and hawt :-) Since a younger man was flattering you up!! You DO need to develop some "me time" activities for yourself. Hobbies that you like tend to work better because you will stick with them. Pottery? I like throwing clay, although I'm not very good at it (a little impatient). I also like painting and glazing pottery. It doesn't cost too much if you are doing it at a serious studio & you don't feel like you need a wheel and kiln of your own!! What hobbies interest you? That might be a better way to find connections than a women's group. How far out into the country did you move ? Aren't you in NJ?

Aw, Jen...I've never done a girls' night, in or out. Just not my thing, or so I keep telling myself. I've signed up for the meetup things, too, but have yet to go to a single one. I've been to a spa twice in my life. I'm not sure you can just look for friends and find them. I think friends find each other, and friendships grow and develop over time. I'd like to think I'm not to old and set in my ways to make new friends, so I'm still looking. wait. you've never had a girls' night? like... EVER? True....never my thing, and never had many girlfriends. My friend preference runs to men, for some reason. And it's tough to have a guys' night in. Well, not tough for me, but I'm thinking if I asked my husband it it was OK, it probably wouldn't be.

POM, that's a lot of driving for a club date. I am coming up that way in October, though. There's a swim meet at a YMCA pool up there, off I-4 near Dr. Phillips, if you know the area.

DH knows it! I think it's in Orlando. That's about all I know about it. Maybe we can meet you for dinner afterwards if you have time.

It's a suburb of Orlando, and a rather pricey one, I'm told. At least, going by hotel prices. . I get a package deal price for the meet, but otherwise, YIKES!!!!!!!! Just to give you an idea, it's about two miles south of the Universal Studios area.
