Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Erika! Did you know Lehane's got a new book out? It's a collection of short stories.

For someone who's not much of a girlie-girl, I do like the girlie drinks. Fuzzy navels, daqueries, pina coladas, rum and coke, and so on...If I can't taste the alcohol, it's my kind of drink.

Seriously! I crushed so hard on Shaun when I was like 7. My parents took me to Atlanta to see him in concert and they still make fun of me for yelling "Hey Deenie!" over and over. What can I say? It was my favorite!

Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb were my own, my preciouses. I never actually liked Leif Garrett. He kind of gave me the creeps. I think I was too young, or to non-sexual at that point, to see the appeal. But I had the Tiger Beats and the Teen Beats, and I'm still a whole frigging lot of impressed by our Trudy.

I told Scott, "A friend of mine from the Buffistas went out with her sisters to celebrate her birthday. She got tipsy and made out with Leif Garrett."

He was all impressed in a very, "No! Way!" sort of way.

My drinks are a cosmo, a fruit or soda rum drink, or a margarita, if I am somewhere where they make really margaritas. Wine at home or if someone else is drinking it. Mike's hard lemonade or Smirnoff Ice, if everyone else is having beer. That list makes it sound like I drink way more than I do. I usually only have one or two drinks a week.

I meant to post this earlier: Go, Trudy!

In 1977 I felt very strongly that you were either with Shaun or with Leif and I really was Shaun's girl... but, hey, when kissin' cover-boys one need not be picky.

Margaritas and gin and tonic are my drinks of choice, if we're discounting beer. But I do love my beer, as the size of my belly will testify.

Go, Trudy! Best birthday story!

Cindy, you and I would have been BFFs or hated each other because we would have fought over these two. I was, seriously, a member of the Andy Gibb Fan Club. (I have not told many people this. Please don't mock my sincere little 4th grade soul.)

I discovered yesterday that mojitos will NOT be playing a part in any future celebrating I do. Mine tasted like spearmint-flavored ass, and that's with fresh-squeezed sugar cane juice to sweeten it.

Is this one you made yourself? Because I find there are certain drinks I can never duplicate at home, no matter how hard I try. The capirihna is also in that category.

"spearmint-flavored ass" is my new favorite phrase.

I've had some wonderful mojitos. Of course, at least one of those was in Central America. So perhaps they do it right there. I've never tried to make one on my own, though I do love the drink.
