So Walk Away And Act Tough When I Say Something To Make You Blush

It's been a tough week, lovelies. Life is getting a bit overwhelming and my coping skills are lacking at best. I'm going to run away for a little bit to try to get my priorities in order and hopefully find a little balance. Last night I hit the magic "mark all as read" button in my reader and the relief that followed was well worth the twinge of guilt I initially felt. Today I am a list-making machine. A get-my-life-in-order list-making machine. I am so excited to start checking items off my list.

To celebrate (or self-medicate?) I am treating myself to a weekend of bbq and summer cocktails. What is your favourite summer cocktail? No tequila, please. This weekend is about sorting myself out, not about taking my clothes off in inappropriate places.

  1. Ahhh, honey, I hate to hear that you're off-kilter. But, you're doing the right thing. Re-focusing, re-prioritizing and taking some time for yourself. I hope this weekend is just the start to your healing journey!

  2. I've been on a Bloody Mary kick, but I don't think anything can beat a glass of champagne in the summertime. Toss in some frozen raspberries and you've got a cocktail :)

  4. You gotta do what you gotta do. I hope this weekend is exactly what you need.

    My favorite summer cocktail is a mojito or mint julep, or just a simple vodka soda or glass of crisp, cool white wine!

  7. Raspberry mojitos! You can make them with vodka or rum, depending on your preference. (I can't drink vodka, but most of my friends prefer that.)

    XOXO sugarplum! Hope you feel better soon!

  9. I am very much a gin and tonic woman. Bombay, Bombay Sapphire, Broker's, Hendrick's. I know people are snobby about tonic water, but I head for the diet variety and save myself the calories. What? I'm a Philistine.

    Hugs to you, hunny bunny.

  12. Jack & coke, tied with gin & tonic. Go have a tall, icy glass of either (or both), and take all the time you need to find your balance. We'll be here when you get back.

  16. I just made one up that I am loving. Bourbon, lemonade, juice of 1/2 a lemon, and 6 rapsberries over ice. Amounts to be determined by how much booze you want to swill. ;) Hope things get back on track soon!
