Those who are stressed

Come on in! The virtual bar is open. What are you having?

 

For me, it's a mojito like the Elephant bar makes it with a sugar cane stick. make it a double. And some wine. keep the wine flowing.  :)

  • I'm not super stressed, however, the anticipation of tomorrow mornings big ultrasound is making me crawl out of my skin today so I'll take a strawberry margarita please.  Ohhhhh, and some All Night White from Jasper Winery.....maybe a couple bottles!

  • Strawberry daiquiri, please! Or some concoction that's called sunset something. I have no idea what was in it but it was yummy! Even just a Mt Dew with Blue Pucker would be good.
  • I LOVE me a giant, really strong margarita, so YES PLEASE!!! I think a few bottles o wine, and heck, even a Michelob Ultra sounds great! Why does stress make us want to drink? I can scrounge my house for food when I am stressed and can only come out with a breakfast bar...I need to keep more junk food in my house :-)
  • jack and diet with a side of xanax. please and thanks.

    Um yeah... I just made brownies because we didn't have anything sufficiently sugary and unhealthy in the house.  lol!

    That is exactly why I made brownies on Monday ;-). Last week I ate all of the girls' yogurt stars because it was the only thing with sugar!
  • Hmmm.  I haven't had a mojito since before I had Graham, so sounds good.  I think I will go with a couple or three Blue Moons on a patio bar (not in DSM obviously) or the margaritas at Mi Mexico.  Today so far hasn't been too bad but yesterday and plenty of  other days - "Bartender - I'll have another".  Like some of you it is those days where I have nothing in the house that is a stress reliever and wish I could just drive to Casey's or Palmer's to get a sweet treat!

  • It's a toss up between a good Amaretto Sour, or a pitcher full of Bloomer Droppers.  I nearly cried because I found a ziploc bag of Bloomer Droppers in the freezer (it freezes awesome, adn stays slushy due to the alcohol content) and I really, really wanted to drink it.  But it's one of my "special" batches, with extra vodka and schnapps, so no way could I do it.  And it's just not the same as a plain peach smoothie.

  • An ice cold beer and lots of greasy bar food would do the trick right now.

    Yum.
