Cocaine Princess here.
Earlier in the day I went out to run some errands and after I did a little shopping. Well I had to. Why you ask? Well I need something to wear with my new Birkin when it arrives don't I?

One of the many good things about having a satellite is the awesome channels that come with it. Currently we pick up 977 different stations.
The downside? There are 2.
1.
Sometimes the same show or movie will be on at least 10 channels.
2.
Anytime Mother Nature is feeling moody and decides to unleash heavy rain, thunderstorms or blowing snow the satellite loses signal and the only thing you'll be able to watch on TV is a black screen with 2 words written in large capital letters: "LOST SIGNAL." That is what kind of happened today. Instead of the words "lost signal" the words: SYSTEM MAINTENANCE. WE APOLOGIZE. SATELLITE SIGNAL WILL RETURN IN 4 HOURS. And it couldn't have come at a worst time I tell you. I was in the middle of watching my spicy Mexican telenovella. A very poignant moment in the series was occurring when the words appeared. I decided to watch a movie. As I was about to pop in a DVD the doorbell rang. I looked over at my sister. She was at the kitchen table doing something. What was she doing? I have no idea other than there was a stack of folders, a thick note book and a calendar near her. The doorbell rang again.
"Can you get that please, darling?"
Being in a lazy mood I asked,
"Where's the cleaning lady?"
"She's upstairs," she replied.
The doorbell rang again. I got up and went over to 'A" and said,
"Why can't she (cleaning lady) answer it?"
"In the amount of time it took you to get up off the couch, walk over here and ask me that question you could have answered the door by now," she stated.
This time I had a snappy come back unlike last Thursday at the movies when I kept coming up empty.
"And in the amount of time you spent giving me that little speech you could have too."
I told you it was snappy! Somebody give the princess a high-5!
The doorbell rang again, this time non stop. I decided to go and answer it. As I did I made something clear to A.
"If it's Poodle Lady I'm not opening the door."
Making my way into the foyer the cleaning lady had already made her way half way down the stairs. She says,
"Would you like me to get that?"
"Thank you but I got it," I told her.
I checked to see who it was. Well it wasn't Poodle Lady. It was one of the little lambs from next door minus Norby and the hideous creature. I opened the door and he's dripping wet wearing nothing but Bob The Builder swim trunks.
"Hi XXXXX," I said.
"Hi. My goggles fell in your backyard," he said.
"Your goggles?" I said back.
"Yeah I need them."
I was dying to know and had to ask.
"How did your goggles fall into my backyard?"
"I don't know. Me and my brother were playing in the water," he replied.
Hmm, I believe that was a sufficient enough answer, don't you?
"Does your brother have his goggles?"
He nodded and said,
"He's wearing them just like I was."
"And yet somehow they fell off from your face and wound up in my yard?"
He nodded yes and smiled.
HAPPY HOUR 10:15PM
Today Happy Hour at my household took place at 10:15PM. My sister fixed me a
TEQUILA TWILIGHT
1 part Tequila
2 parts Cranberry Juice
1 shot Grape Juice
Directions:
Fill the glass 1/3 full of tequila and then the rest with the cranberry juice, leaving enough room for the shot of grape juice.
I hesitated at first when I first heard the name. I tend to step back with any drink that has "Tequila" in its' name but considering there's a full summer moon out tonight I thought what the hell.
I stepped out onto the patio and sat down cross legged on the chair. It was such a beautiful muggy night with the luminous full moon surrounded by its twinkling companions.
And down the hatchet Day 4 of Happy Hour went.
My Verdict:
I drank it all.........but it was disgusting, truly it was.
Tomorrow Happy Hour Day 5.
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess
