Highlights of today:
1. It's casual Friday so we can wear jeans. It's the little things man.
2. My Mother Unit brought by freaking mini pies! Mini pecan and mini pumpkin. I. Love. Mini. Pies. Also. Pumpkin. Anything! (It's true. Last year my Dearheart almost had me committed when I broke into spontaneous dancing and then growled with my hands in fists while punching the air and said "it's PUMPKIN TIME! My most favorite time! I'm going to eat pumpkin for weeks!" each word was punctuated by a punch of joy for my love of pumpkin and the fall. It looked menacing, but luckily he knows me better than any and wasn't concerned.)
3. Its the most beautiful sunny breezy gorgeous day!
4. We have made the executive decision that our house cocktail this weekend will be .....(drumroll please)......the Scotch 75! A witty (eh, or not) play on the French 75. JMS is Scottish and since we are legally tied together lovingly and monetarily, so am I! The classic French 75 is gin, simple syrup, lemon juice, and champagne. We will be making ours with
-Hendricks gin (if you hate gin I SWEAR this will be a game-changer for you. The smell and taste of gin honestly made me want to vomit, then I tried Hendricks. Now I'm an alcoholic! Thank you Hendricks! Just kidding. You are so pricey I can never imbibe you without a trace of guilt as I have calculated the cost-per-sip. Hendricks, you are expensive as shit. But worth it.)
-prosecco (because that's what we have in the fridge)
- lemon juice
- a splash of St. Germaine
- maybe a bit of muddled basil if we are feeling frisky and it's still alive (I forgot to water yesterday and, unfortunately for our basil, I've forgotten the past few weeks as well. Gosh plants are so dang sensitive! You don't give them the one thing they need and they die. WTF.)
5. Our dear friends are coming into town! The dude is in a band! Our favorite band! Which leads to....
6. We get to hear our favorite band!
7. I'm making dinner tonight and my boo is making an antipasti platter so we will be dining like kings and queens. And we are drinking Hendricks! Does our richness know no bounds?!?! Actually yes it does.
8. Yoga during my lunch hour was particularly delightful and relaxing.
9. The house is clean since I did all the dirty work this morning before work! Whoop whoop!
Let the weekend BEGIN!
Wearing Vince jeans, h&M top (the striped one), jcrew silk blazer, cashmere pashmina that is my favorite, rubber clogs from the Dollar General, and a vintage tshirt (I did yoga in it and didnt change afterwards. I'm a dirty bird.)
Also? I freaking WISH this post was sponsored by Hendricks (you make me want to be a better and more relaxed person Hendricks!) but it's not. Le sigh.
