Randoms
- I drank moonshine yesterday with my neighbors. Moonshine from a mason jar. That my neighbor got by leaving money somewhere and then picked up his moonshine somewhere else. It sounded shady, but I drank it anyway, along with a lot of beer.
- Clearly, I'm hungover.
- I ate Five Guys last night after drinking but it wasn't enough grease, so I had to eat McDonalds grease for breakfast this morning. Now I feel better.
WHO GETS DRUNK ON A TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING? BY DRINKING MOONSHINE?
Am I an official Tennessean now?
Totally unrelated to the above - and also random - John Elway kind of seems like an AW in that press conference from yesterday. Yeah, I DVR'd that sh*t.

Re: Randoms
Was it regular moonshine? Was it not apple pie? Cause you need apple pie.
You are an official Tennessean. Possibly also a Kentuckian.
Cool. I think i wanna drink moonshine before I die. Or Mountain Dew - the moonshine - if there is a difference.
2nd day of 80 degrees hear today and I've already killed like 5 ants. I want my cool weather back!
Did a guy named "Tickle" make it?
I want to make shine but Pescalita doesn't want the ATF redecorating the front door. I think it's a good history lesson for A, George Washington made Whiskey - it's like apple pie.
My random - it's supposed to rain on Saturday and Sunday so I'll have to set up the new draft beer lines to the bar at home instead of taking care of the lawns.
LOL at the moonshine. I'm so jealous.
I just spent all morning working on a case and then realized that the claimant had withdrawn the request for review (which MADE SENSE and I kept saying as I was wading through 900 pages of medical evidence - which is a crapton for one of my cases - that "I can't believe they didnt just withdraw the request since she's gotten paid already.")
Well apparently she had. this makes a difference bc I get less credit for a dismissal (which it is now) than a remand (which it was going to be.) STUPID. my own fault but stupid.
My wedding rings dont fit anymore. Stupid swollen fingers.
I had ben and jerry's cinnamon bun ice cream last night and OMG it was amazing.
Congrats!!! Sounds like a fabulous house.
Also eclaires - I LOVE moonshine. I have friends that visit the Smoky mountains every summer and they bring some back. SOOOOO good!!!
Even though I love my hillbilly roots I don't drink shine unless I'm already drunk. That stuff tastes and feels like gasoline.
James gave me bronchitis. It's 80 degrees outside and I'm miserable.
ETA: Apple pie is the shiz though.
I'm dying at the moonshine bit. Yes, eclaires. You are definitely a tennesseean now. I'm adding this experience to my bucket list for sure!
My randoms. Hm. I was informed this morning that I've been added to the profit sharing for my company. Out of nowhere. Oddly, it still isn't enough to make me want to stay here.
I'm going yurt camping this weekend with my mom and one of my best girlfriends.
My FIL and SMIL are moving next week.
a friend makes rum in his garage and it is the best rum. rum in the manner of "why is the rum gone?" rum.
I drank that moonshine straight. It f*cked me up, I'm not lying. My neighbor totally peer pressured me into it - I set a bad example for my kids, lol. Then he kept giving me more beer! Peer pressure, man. His wife was like, "it's just a preview of what the summer is going to be like." I guess my tolerance better return to college levels.
It smelled kind of bad, but didn't taste that bad. I saw cherry moonshine for sale somewhere...Costco maybe? I bet it's not real moonshine, though, even though it was in a mason-type jar.
Anyone who wants moonshine can come hang out here. It's a true hillbilly experience. I like my neighbors a lot, but they are for real Tennesseans. The wife's family owns a farm and her dad is some nationally ranked target shooter or something. She already told me I could go there during the zombie apocalypse. I was pretty happy about that.
that.is.awesome. Not the prison part, but the rest of it.
I might have to look into a side job of moonshine makin'. Forget I said that, mmkay?
Well dayum. I guess I'm really not a Tennessean because I have never had moonshine.
I'm cranky because somewhere in my house is a bottle of funky azz cologne or perfume that caused me to have a sneezing fit this morning. I already have to contend with all the dayum tree pollen and now some stink cologne is in my house. When I find it, it's going outdoors in the trash. I don't care if my H spent 80 dollars on that shiznit. It cannot be in the house with me.
One of the guys on the morning radio program was talking about how poorly he's aged. The other guy said "Wait! That was John Elway?"
My own randoms: today is my first OB appt (till now I was with my GP). I'm nervous cause this sh!t is getting real!!
Its ridiculously warm here, totally unseasonal. High of 31C today, normal high is 6C. This is the 2nd straight week of summer weather. I refuse to turn on the AC, REFUSE. I'm sleeping in the basement though because its so hot.
Gawd I miss getting drunk espeically on random nights. Three more months, three more months. Okay not really because then I am reasonable for a newborn but at least I can have two glasses of wine without worry.
This weather has me in the best mood EVAH. I have a spring in my step. I went from feeling downtrodden, sore and cranky to not even feeling physically pregnant. I love it. I love summer. I will hate it in the end but right now, bring on the temps.
You are officially a Tennessean!
The first time I drank moonshine, it was given to me by a cop friend and I was so drunk/hungover the next day I cancelled the chem lab I was teaching.
I think it was also a Tuesday night.
A girl in my dept quit this week after a three week bogus leave and didnt give any notice. Ive already replaced her and this has been a fantastic week despite all the extra work.
This post now has me intrigued about moonshine.
My random: I'm leaving work early today to attend a talk my wife is giving at a local university.
- microsoft outlook keeps randomly restarting and sending only about half the emails I write. I'm more annoyed because the IST guy said he'd be here at 9 a.m. and its now 11:30.
- even though its cloudy today, it's still pretty warm and there are cherry blossom trees blooming outside my window and students studying outside. Its horribly distracting and makes me want to do no work at all.
- there was a woman on the train this morning who, in the span of 23 minutes, managed to put on makeup, file her nails, write some checks to pay bills and knit some kind of hat made of bright pink wool. I dont know whether to be judgy or impressed with her efficiency.
I also really miss getting drunk. Even just tipsy. Its perfect patio weather here right now and it would be so nice to have a beer with my bbq'd hamburger!!
Tef - I have absolutely no idea what the conversion is from C to F!!! Funny how you only know one or the other. But i looked it up. 88 degrees F!!!
woot woot!
PS - what's your guess on how long it takes for Broncos gear to show up in Knoxville? I give it a week, lol.
Damn eclaires, you can hang! My roommate has some moonshine looking pretty in a jar in our dining room but we are both too afraid to drink it.
I start my new job on Monday (waaahoooo!) Now that I know I'll soon be gainfully employed I am enjoying loafing about in this gorgeous weather. Being a stay-at-home wife might not be so bad after all...
Find me here instead!
I am feeling it too, lately. I was OK for the winter but now that the weather is warmer, it just feels like drinking season! Gin and tonics on the patio, beer around the fire pit, Bloodys at brunch outside! Sadness!
Moonshine?!? Yep, you are official.
The drunkest I've ever seen DH was off a random peer pressure moonshine fueled golf game. He said he thought he was dying the next day because he was so hungover.
Are these the neighbors with the dog named Neyland?
