Cocaine Princess here.
Have you ever been scared? For example: you're walking along minding your own business when some maniac jumps out and yells BOO!! Well, something similar happened to me this morning.
It was still pretty early. I went to open the front door to get the newspaper. Like millions of people across the world we have our paper delivered. The newspaper's big selling point: Guaranteed Front Door Delivery Our paperboy has no concept of that meaning. Each morning the paper is found in a different spot: in the middle of the driveway, the end of the driveway, in the middle of the garden, in the shrubs, in between the shrubs and once underneath the car. It's anywhere and everywhere to be found on our property except for the front door. Anyways, I open the front door and low and behold what is there on my porch that gave me a such a fright?
Not exactly Freddy Krueger I know and it's a pretty sure bet some of my loyal and dear readers are probably saying, "Aww, he's sooo cute." It gave me quite a startle because it wasn't something I was expecting to see. I had never seen this dog before. It began tapping on the glass door with its' paw. It wanted to come in.
"Sorry Dog but I don't allow humans wearing shoes in my abode. You really think I'm going to let a furry beast in?"
And I swear after I said that, it barked at me! Can you believe it? The nerve! Just as I was about to ask if he was lost who do I see running up the walkway? My next door neighbors kids with the "hideous creature with four legs" in tow.
"Look what our Grandma bought us!" said one of them with such excite.
"Grandma bought you guys a new dog?"
"He came last night," the little one explained. He carried on.
"We named him Norbert but we call him Norby for short."
Good grief their grandmother bought them yet ANOTHER dog. She is also the one responsible for buying them the "hideous creature with four legs." Seriously grandma, you couldn't have bought them a goldfish? They make awesome pets.
I will say this much, Norby unlike their "other" dog does not make my stomach turn.
HAPPY HOUR: 7:00PM
Unlike yesterday Happy Hour took place in my household at 7:00pm. I took a nap after Happy Hour Day 1, a very lengthy one I might add. Today my sister made me a POMEGRANATE MARTINI.
POMEGRANATE MARTINI
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
3 oz pomegranate juice
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker 1/4 filled with chopped ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
And down the hatchet day 2 of Happy Hour went.
My verdict?
Not so yummy.
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess

I think I would have skipped the vodka and added some mineral water. Wouldn't have been a martini but better.. maybe.
I have trouble with falling asleep rather often and I mainly use one of two cures: a nice little cocktail before bedtime or valerian.
Yum, I'll be whipping one of those up. I'm also one of those readers that thinks that dog is SO cute!
god how i could kill for a martini right about now....
CP, I have a pretty funny newspaper boy story for you.
We had a young kid delivering our paper for a while. And similar to your experience, one day it's on the porch, the next it's in the bushes and the next in the yard.
So the one day I woke up and waited for him. He approached me and I said, "I'd like to talk to you about our delivery." He just stared at me. After a series of questions and him not responding, I started flipping out, yelling, throwing my hands up and screaming at him. He walked away without saying a word.
I called and complained to the newspaper and they were like, "Sir, that carrier is deaf."
CC at 11:59,
I laughed so hard that I cried and then felt bad afterward.
Oh my gosh..I'm so behind! Ahhh! (so sorry)
Bummer about the Pome Martini. I've never had that kind, so I have no idea. I have tried a different flavor Martini, but didn't like it. So I'm guessing I probably wouldn't like this one either. ha ha
...off to catch up on your other posts!
