Saucy Saturday

Guess which Chica is getting Saucy at SITScation 2009??? This Chica, is getting Sassy and Saucy at SITScation 2009!!

I use to be a renegade follower of SITS, not really sure why I never joined??? I would log on daily, enjoy the featured blogger and learn about new blogs. Until a few weeks ago, I had an epiphany, that by joining sits I would be part of a fabulous community...so I registered and left my rebel ways behind me.

Two Friday's ago, after a night out with our neighbors, I came home (2AM'ish) logged on to SITS and learned that there were two tickets to SITScation available. Like the somewhat superstitious Chica I am, I immediately thought "it's a sign" and sent an email to every address provided on the site, asking for a ticket. A few days later, I received word that I was one of the lucky Chica's to get a ticket, hollaaaaaa!!!

This week I booked my room and can officially say "I will be getting Saucy at SITScation 2009"!! Look out Vegas, here I come!!! I have never been to 'SinCity', and can't imagine why they would call it that(sarcasm, of course), but I am determined to find out!!

The hubster is on the fence about whether or not he will travel with me. I mean he will have to amuse himself all day Saturday, while I am at the conference. Which I am certain, he will have no problems finding something to do! So my next assignment is to continue to shop for flights and hope to find a fabulous deal. After all, when "it's a sign", everthing puts itself into place!

VEGAS OR BUST, BABY!!

Fabulous Friday

My favorite day of the week is Friday! Don't get me wrong I also love Saturday and Sundays, but there is just something about the energy and excitement of Fridays, that tickles my fancy!

Tonight I will be joining my fellow neighborhood Chica's for our Monthly 'Ladies Night'. Our group started out as 4neighbors who wanted to get to know each other better over a glass of wine and some food.

After the first few months our circle grew from 4Chica's to 15 and now, well I don't know the count. Not all of our attendees live in our neighborhood, it is an open invitation to anyone who wants a night out...the more the merrier!!

I stand by my statement that "I live in on the best block in the world" and have the best neighbors! Its amusing that we even do Ladies Night since most of us hang out every weekend anyway..but that's just how we roll. Our parties are never shy of food or drink, each attendee brings an appetizer or dessert and a drink to share. Lots of food, lots of drinks and lots of fun.

Most, if not all of the neighbors we hang out with are coupled or married so the male significant others use to get jealous that just the Chica's would gather, so they formed their own guys night to play poker. The twist is we always end up together at the end of the night! Either they end up at our party or we will crash theirs (with food in hand of course)!

What will you be doing on this Fabulous Friday Night??

Thursday Is The New Friday

Summer and warm weather are short lived in our neck of the woods. We had a late start to summer this year, with unseasonably cool temperatures. The hubster and I are determined to make the most of the rest of summer!! Today we are going to shake things up, Grill some surf and turf for dinner and enjoy Frozen Margarita's. "After all Thursday Is The New Friday"!!

When it comes to Margarita's, I have had many fabulous renditions, however I prefer the ready to serve 'Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita, with Grand Marnier'. You can find this premixed concoction in the Liquor aisle, usually next to the Jose Cuervo Tequila.

This premixed Margarita can be served on ice, shaken with ice and served in a chilled glass, or poured into a blender with ice to make a Fabulous Frozen Margarita!

Here is what you will need to prepare your glass for this liquid fun:

• Cocktail Glass
• Coarse Salt
• Lime Wedge
• Slice of lime

Rub the rim of chilled cocktail glass with the lime wedge, then dip in a saucer of coarse salt, pour in Margarita and decorate with a lime slice.

Wa-la...Enjoy!

Who is on the Quarter?

I have been working with my seven year old to prepare him the best I can for the second grade. I was impressed that over the summer he retained much of what he had learned in first grade, until we got to counting coins.

We made it through the denominations, size and which president was on the dime, nickel and penny; here is what happened when we got to the quarter....

Mom asks: Which coin is the Quarter
Son replies: The big one
Mom asks: What is the denomination?
Son replies: twenty five cents
Mom asks: Who is on the Quarter
Son, a bit puzzled, but replies: George Clooney

It took all I had not to laugh out loud!! I looked at my son and explained that he had done very well, but George Clooney is not on the quarter nor on any U.S currency.

Hats off George Clooney even my seven year old knows you!!! And just for the record, I think you are a FOX!!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!
