You would think I would be Used to it!

It's funny since I separated from my ex husband I have dated a few guys and they all do the same thing. You would think I would get used to it! I don't understand why men can't be considerate enough to just tell you it's over rather than just lead you on. The bad thing is he promised no games. Shame on me I guess for thinking anything different could happen!

Foto Friday! Oh I mean Photo Friday!

My handsome little man has been around woman to much!! He looks in the mirror while I am doing my make-up and pretends to put some on too! Now he is wearing my shoes! But he looks so darn CUTE!!!
I decided to try out a sangria recipe!! I had never had it before and thought why not! And it looks so pretty too! Ignore me if you are looking for pretty! LOL!

Now I was looking for a recipe for my Valentines Party for the resturaunt I work for and those still sound so good! But, Doesn't this drink sound so good, look so good, and it can be drank by almost any of the food we are serving! The spin I put on it though, I put strawberries in it! Yum!!

Love, Laugh, and Drink Up!

Bad day into good night!

So, I have been having a hard time the last couple of days! But everything is ok now! I have come to terms with my insecurities and decided to say F@#$ them! I am letting go and I am just going to go with the flow for a while!! A friend in Cali is having a hard time and I think I might go out and visit and see if we can cheer each other up. But yesterday my sis, Dana, noticed I was having a hard time so we went to go see a movie!! Yay!! I miss going to movies like I did in cali!! I didn't go every week or anything, but it was so nice to have one close by when you got a wild hair up your a$$ to go see one! We ended up seeing "Did you hear about the Morgans?"! I really liked it!! It's about a couple that go into protection with a couple in wyoming! So, this morning I was reflecting on the movie and decided to look up where it was filmed. If you didn't know I now live in wyoming. Ugh! And it wasn't filmed anywhere close to wyoming!! It was filmed in texas! How disappointing!! But at least I liked the movie! Yay!
Love, Laugh, and Drink Up!

Top Five Things Going on in my Life!

I have been driven crazy by certain things the last few weeks so I thought I might share them with you if you are interested. Thought I could at least make myself laugh at all the crazy things happening.
5. Poop... It doesn't belong in training pants! But for some odd reason my son can not manage to tell me that he that he has to poop before the vein in his forehead starts popping out and he starts to grunt!
4. Late!! I was late for work this week. I don't know why but it is one of my pet peeves!! I am on time, if not early, always!!
3. Sleep...My little man isn't liking the idea of staying in bed! I know, he is still doing it!! At least there is a lock now!!
2. Tantrums...I don't get it. I do something or anything that makes him mad and he is on the ground kicking and screaming! It embarrasses me to no end!!
1. Chunks!!! I am sick and tired of chunks being blown!! (gross!) First it was Gunnar and this morning it was the dog! I am just waiting for the cat to chime in and then it should be my turn, right?
What is your opinion on these? Am I qualified to go to the nut house yet?LOL
Love, Laugh, and Drink Up!!

My Pitch!

I like Mama Kat at Mama's losin it. And I recently saw that she had joined 31 days to a better blog at http://www.problogger.net/. I thought it would be a good and fun thing for me to do also. So, my first assignment was to create and elevator pitch, one short and one long! A pitch that can be told in enough time to have a ride on the elevator. And not a naughty one either!! Need more time for a naughty one anyways! LOL (I crack myself up!) So, here are my pitches!
First the short one:
"Welcome to the spills and thrills of a Mommy/ Bartender!!"
Second, the long one:
"Do you need a drink idea? Or a different approach to dealing with a child that has just thown himself on the ground in a tantrum? I have a drink of the day, Ask Tarbender, and random events of a Mommy/ Bartender at Drinks and Diapers!"
So, what do you think? Does it sell my blog or should I add anything else?
Love, Laugh and Drink Up!

Chunks, drinks and jokes!!

So, I woke up this morning to nothing... yeah not one sound or anything. Gunnar let me sleep in...Ok ready Awwww! At first it was actually, what is wrong something is terribly wrong! So I run in there and he is snoring away! Well, he is getting his two year molars and I thought ok they are affecting him. So, I call my Mom and tell her about him and then I start hearing this awful noise! So, I run in there and I had never seen a child project vomit across a room before!! I might be exagerating alittle, but it was still disturbing!! And usually I have a good strong stomach but for some reason today I could barely handle it! This continued until 12:30pm. The doctor said it was a flu and could not really do anything except give him a medicine that would stop the vomiting. But he was so sad today!! He would walk acouple of steps and then lay down on the floor with his legs curled up and then walk a couple more steps and do the same thing.
But on a happier note, I ended up getting a comment from my Mom over at http://gammasharon.blogspot.com/ and in one of my blogs I asked for some questions so she asked, "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" So, this recipe is for you mom!!
Woodchuck Wassail
2 quarts woodchuck cider
2 cups cranberry juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 orange studded with whole cloves
1 cup rum
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and brew 4-5 hours before serving!!
And then I also looked up a non-alcoholic recipe for Karen at http://www.apeekatkarensworld.com/.
Sunshine Splash
3 oz. O.J.
3 oz Pineapple Juice
2 oz Lemon Lime Soda
1 oz Sour mix
1/2 oz Grenadine
Stir all with ice in a parfait glass. Garnish with a pineapple slice! Yum Yum!!

Ask Miss Tarbender!

Ok, so I got two comments on my last blog asking to see if you had any questions. Yay!!! So, thank you so much JDaniel4'sMom and DivineMrsD!!! Now I didn't get questions but I thought....maybe....you might want to try something other than Rieslings wine for your dinner parties? Maybe... Maybe not? And don't get me wrong I love wine, but sometimes it is just fun to switch things up. Like when I go to a bar(it's very rare, especially since I work in one) I like to ask if the bartender has a special drink they like to make, instead of ordering my fav tequila sunrise.
Today I was today I got one of my usual emails from Better Homes and Gardens(I like all that stuff too!!) And the subject read things to do while you are stuck in the house during winter and of course I go there and manage to find myself in the drink recipe page. (maybe they know my stupid obsession for recipes or they are implying something, I don't know). But they did have a drink on there that sounded like it would be sweet and sophisticated like a Riesling wine is. It is called Twinkling Ginger Champagne!! Sounds absolutely enticing to me!! So, I hope you liked that little thought, Divine Mrs D!?! And thank you so much for the comment!!
