I appreciate good booze! No beer or wine in my cabinet(s) I appreciate good alcohol in any form. We have a well stocked liquor cabinet, 8 or more cases of wine downstairs and 4 or 5 cases of home brewed beer.
And this is down, due to the stay at home orders.
Party at your house!

I went to see my new granddaughter this evening. Unfortunately my ex was there. Right off the bat he started making inappropriate comments about me doing drugs (smoking crack) to our 2 year old granddaughter and everyone else in the room. Ugh. Not true and certainly not appropriate!
Half an hour later, he was lying about other personal things that had to do with me!
He just doesn't stop!🤥🤥
A few hours later, I get a text from him apologizing, and making up excuses. I believe him, about as much as I believe DTrump!
No doubt he wanted me to say "it's okay". It's not.
I'm drinking cranberry juice and Grand Marnier. (Out of vodka)
What an ass. 😡

He loves to make up stuff as he goes. You know, just like Donald Trump...

He loves to make up stuff as he goes. You know, just like Donald Trump... Haha... This made me smile. Thank you. I was so shocked, and I know my daughter gets very defensive, when it comes to him, but I'm sure the look on my face said a lot. Luckily, my daughter spoke up quickly, and told him to stop. When he tried to laugh it off, making more inappropriate comments, she told him again. We both told him it wasn't funny. I told him I was offended. He wasn't smart enough to let it go right then. But he stopped soon after, because everyone there knew it wasn't true. And no one even smiled. Hopefully, my DGD who is at the age that she repeats everything, doesn't repeat his comments, thinking they are funny, because he laughed so much. I wish I would have said I thought he was smarter than to say things like that. He thinks he's brilliant. I'm sure I'll get another chance, unfortunately.

He agreed (yeah, right), but made more excuses. I finally quit responding. He's a jerk. And you're right, he's not going to change.

I didn't. But I didn't argue with him either. That gets you nowhere. Like DT he thinks he's above everyone else, and twists things around. Ugh.

All I have in the house is a High Noon Vodka Seltzer. Don’t care for it all that much but I waned to try it. Enjoying with a handful of M&Ms rolled into a spoonful of peanut butter... which flavor? bc I picked up a couple 4pks before that road trip to PA. loved the peach. hated the lime, and will probably leave the last one in the fridge when I move out of this rental. lol... Grapefruit. Too reminiscent of old school wine coolers!

In Utah, most alcohol except beer, can only be purchased in state liquor stores. (Not as commonly found as grocery stores, or 7-11)
An employee at one of the stores, has tested positive for covid 19. That store has been closed, making the availability of alcohol harder to get.
When everything was shut down, liquor stores were deemed essential, so they remained open.

It's barely after 4 and I'm having a double whiskey sour. And maybe another one. Too much family FB drama. Much stupidity on one side and a lot of name calling on both sides. Ending with some memes getting reported and removed from FB. (3 times I hear) I was only on the side lines for all of this.
Depending on an answer to a message, I'm probably blocking my brother (even tho it's his extended family that is the issue) and stepping away from it all for a few days. Cheers!

Having some wine. I should have bought more today. I'm sure I can find something else to drink once I run out. Or if my daughter gets home from work early I'll make her take me to the liquor store. Quiet night, both kids are working.

So I only had one whiskey sour, calmed down, DB responded without being a total idiot. I switched to wine. Winding down outside with a nice fire and some good white wine.

In the interest of calorie reduction, DH bought some Corona Premier last week. Let's just say he was delighted when finishing the last of them last night. I tried a sip last weekend. Nope. We're having our annual solstice party tomorrow, and I wanted to find a shot which would utilize what we have on hand (years ago my need to expand my frugality is what brought me to YM in the first place). Found this: Purple Hooter ShooterOur neighbors also when I make butterscotch schnapps and whiskey shooters. Should be fun. I'll report back. And yes, we follow DD or stay overnight rules. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone.

curious what you didn't like about the Premier? I'm not a huge beer drinker, but but I picked up a 6pk since I've been in this rental. I didnt think it was any better or worse than basic Corona. 🤷♀️ I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again, but if someone handed me one at a cookout I wouldn't say no. 🙂
today I picked up another 6pk of the PRESS blood orange chili seltzers. I had one this afternoon while hiding out from the heat wave in the cool basement, and have another going now with an added splash of vodka while I finish my book. hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We hadn't planned on going to a winery today, but it was on our way home from a trip. So while we're out there tasting, we might as well bring home a case! All white, because that's what they do best.

I told DD2, whose father made the crappy comments about me, I don't plan on attending any events, her father is at. She said okay- clearly didn't want to discuss it further. I also said I don't think it's fair for me to have to always have to miss events, because he will be there, when he is the one causing the problem(s), and can't act like an adult. NOTE: I am not the only one that is not comfortable around him/has issues with him. She agreed.
I am not attending the Father's day dinner tomorrow, at DD2's home, as I am not her father. Makes sense. No one was surprised when I said I'm not coming. They knew why.
DD2 and her husband, have a lot of family get togethers, throughout the year. I'm not sure how this will play out.
Since liquor stores will be closed (Sunday), I will be having rum and coke, if I indulge.
Hope all the fathers, friends of fathers, as well as families, enjoy the day. For the many positive things you do/have done, you are appreciated.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! ♡
🙂🙂🙂

Trying for a slight buzz before I go to bed. This weekend has wiped me out emotionally. I need to buy some vodka for my house. I had decided I wouldn't, but a really stiff drink would be great right now.

I need to get some vodka also.
Cosmopolitan is one of my favorite drinks. CranGrape and CranRaspberry, or reg Cranberry... they all work, I think.
CHEERS! 🍸🥂

So my DH decided he wanted to drink Blue Hawaiians today . Why , who knows ? Never had them before . Went to BevMo and Costco to get all the ingredients. I made them for us all . My DH really liked them but said , damn , you made them strong . He usually drinks beer or his favorite RedBreast Whiskey .

Not too sweet . They have been around since the 50s apparently.
