The Bday Weekend Blog Post

Every year I take time for myself around my bday. It's a way I celebrate me and the accomplishments I've made since my last birthday. I also like to take time out of the hussle and bussle of every day to drop off the grid and just flat out "Enjoy"!

I am so thankful for a job that allots me the flexibility of working a schedule to be able to do this every year. This week I jammed out my hours (and yes, for a change it was only a 40 hr week...1st bday gift to self) and today and tomorrow I get to kick back and enjoy life. My son and husband are both in school so it's just me and the girls for a few hours. I slept until 9 am...this is a big deal because I usually wake up to an internal alarm - no alarm clocks needed for me. Problem with that is my body doesn't quite know the difference between a day off and a work day so I almost always wake up "on time" even when wanting to sleep in. Next I tried a new k-cup, Kahlua flavored. Holy cow people, this stuff is yummy!!

I'll spend a few hours working around the house then off to spend a fun afternoon with the family. Stay tuned for some pics of our adventures this weekend but for now, I'll share this one..this is my favorite bday treat..

A Tiffarita

2 ou Patron Silver; 1 ou Grand Marnier; 2 ou of your favorite mix; lime juice from 1/2 a lime; and a splash of Grenadine

I prefer Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix as it has the lowest amount of sugar or a new one here in FL by a local gal that is "diet" friendly. I don't have a lot of sugar in my diet so those other mixes are too sweet for me. I like my ritas tart like they should be.
