It was in the middle of the afternoon and I was feeling thirsty and decided to have a non-alcoholic drink. I made a little trip into kitchen, opened the fridge and there was no pop chilling and more importantly I was out of Diet Dr. Pepper. I walk over the pantry and there's no Diet Dr. Pepper in there either. You can imagine my horror! Instead there was a 12 pack of unopened Diet Coke. I opened the carton and grabbed a couple of cans and put them in the fridge and one in the freezer to quickly chill for about 5-6 minutes. The telephone rings and I go to answer it and who is it? Valentina of course. We chatted for a good hour before ending the call.
I then left to go out for a couple of hours.
Hmm, I forgot something didn't I?
When I came home my sister was in the kitchen with practically the entire contents of the freezer on the counter. She was wearing rubber gloves and holding a cloth.
"What's going on I asked?"
"Well darling I thought I would grill some chicken for dinner tonight. When I went to get some out of the freezer guess what I found?
I took a peak and when I did the only reaction I had was the Homer Simpson D'OH!
Remember how I wrote, "Hmm, I forgot something didn't I?"
Well I did.
Do you know what happens when you leave a can of pop in the freezer for hours and hours?
If not here is a graphic illustration.
(You should have seen the inside of the freezer. There was frozen diet coke slush everywhere)"Darling please do me a favor," she asked.
"Name it."
"Stay out of this section of the house from now on," she replied.
HAPPY HOUR 8:00PM
Today Happy Hour in my household took place at 8:00pm. After yesterday's god awful drink my sister fixed me a
PEACH DAIQUIRI. For herself she blended a Margarita but I wanted to taste something new.
2oz Malibu Passion Fruit Rum
1oz peach schnapps
peach slices
Crushed ice
DIRECTIONS:
Add ingredients in blender with ice. Blend. Garnish with peach slice or cherry
And down the hatchet Day 5 of Happy Hour went.
My verdict?
100x better than a Tequila Moonrise.
Tomorrow Happy Hour Day 6.
XOXOXOXO,

**Friday August 7th 2009
Cocaine Princess here.
It's after midnight and I came down for a light snack and for me at this hour that's usually a bowl of cereal. Instead I couldn't help but notice the MARGARITA pitcher sitting on the fridge shelf wasn't empty. I was tempted but then decided to wait until later on in the night and see what "A" comes up with. I closed the fridge door and then opened it again and closed it and when over to the cupboard and pulled out the cereal box. I really wanted the Margarita. I was so conflicted. I could eat a bowl of "Oatmeal Crisp" and have the taste of "delicious, hearty oat and wheat flake cereal with apple pieces and brown sugar oat clusters" on my palette or the taste of salt and citrus on my palette. Tough choice I know. I thought and thought and thought until I had a "hmm" moment.
During my "hmm moment" I thought of a very cheeky quote said by Oscar Wilde and made my decision based on that.
I grabbed myself a straw, opened the fridge and had several long sips straight from the pitcher standing in the one section of the house my sister prohibited me from entering.
I can't really describe in words how the last couple of days have been for me with all that went down other than I was feeling frustration and confusion. I still am. It's been one of those kind of weeks where I just wanted to stay in bed and not get up. One would think having a drinkie every night would help. It didn't. But thanks to Happy Hour I at least had the most sweetest night's rest and dream every night.
If you're reading this that means I was still pretty conscious enough to post it and it's most likely I went back to bed. Now whether or not I actually made it back up the stairs and into my bedroom or if I fell asleep in front of the computer is another story. I won't know until I wake up.
If I don't post anything later throughout the day I would like to say:
My loyal and dear readers it's finally Friday!
Whatever your plans are have a fantastic weekend.-x
XOXOXOXO,
