    Thanks, It's coming back to me, kahlua, bailey's, grand marnier in a shot glass. I could swear there was a clear liquor on top cause they set fire to it. It wasn't vodka.

    Oh, grand marnier is clear. That's what was set on fire.

    My favorite summer drink (for now) is Spiked Raspberry Lemonade:

    1 1/2 oz Bacardi Limon
    3/4 oz Chambord Liqueur
    3 oz sweet & sour

    mix all ingredients in a glass over ice. Stir.

    Top with 1 oz of 7up (diet or regular)

    squeeze wedge of fresh lemon. ENJOY!

    Very refreshing on a hot summer day. I don't actually measure out anything, I just start pouring it all in a glass until it suits me. Or, you can make a pitcher!!

    And if you want to "kick it up" a bit, I also add some raspberry Absolute.
    WARNING: If you decide to drink the "enhanced" recipe, be prepared to just hang out and be useless. (I speak from experience on this - trust me.)

    Nope not at the beach yet (physically) but mentally, (as Kramer would say) "I'm already gone".

    We leave at the butt crack of dawn Sat morning so I'll see beach Sat afternoon.

    If BF brings his laptop (and he probably will) I'll check in with you girls.

    Cheers!

    being a fellow Gemini, and in all of your adeventerous ways is there a chance that you'll be getting sand in areas that you don't normally have sand???
    Been there, done that and got busted.... and that was only 12 years ago

    Go Donna, Go Donna!

    Ooohhh, Donna, sex on the beach? (and I'm NOT refering to the drink)

    Before my current love interest I dated a guy who lived out in Santa Cruz, CA, and we'd go at it all the time (go figure me and a man! ) and one time we were lounging on this beautiful (and secluded) beach just off of Highway 1 and no one else was around as we had to cross a rip tide to get to this place and of course we decide to do it. It was hot (the temp, a sunny hot day in CA) and we did good about not getting rubbed raw by sand. We looked up the cliff and noticed that there were people way up there but we didn't care!
    So, that's my sex on the beach story. No alcohol though.

    And thanks for the recipe Donna as I'm definitely gonna try it out this summer when I want to get blotto when my home remodel is driving me crazy!

    Another good one for summer enjoyment is the new Stoli Blueberry w/ Lemonade - yum. Either up or on the rocks. Too sweet for my blood, but a taste was delish.

    The only sex on the beach I've had came in a glass w/ ice. I'm hoping to have the more abrasive sex on the beach next week! (and by abrasive, I mean in an exfoliation kind of way)

    Surely we can find a secluded spot SOMEWHERE between Miami and Key West. And more than likely, there WILL be alcohol involved! (We're staying in Miami for a couple of nights, then renting a car and driving to Key West)

    Hopefully I'll have some good stuff to post on the Mojo thread!

    Until then, I raise my margarita to all my drinkin' sista buddies and again say Cheers!

    Oh Donna you have fun girl, Key West oh man that brings back memories. When I worked at Digital our division moved to Ft. Laurderdale, well that New Years eve me and 2 other single girls headed to key west for the night. Well let me just say I met the hottest cop oh boy, ended up on the beach in the wee hours of Jan 1, no sand where it should not be, but ended up dating for a year. oh the memories. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ok back to the subject. what is the subject?????? Oh yea wahooooooooo it is the long weekend and I plan on sitting my butt out by the pool with Garcon at my beckon call filling all my drink needs.

    Lini - I use to love Wiskey sours, oh man that was a good drink.

    I'm not into sweet drinks I like tart ones, but the gold is just my vice........

    I hope all you laides have a great SAFE 4th.

    Effexor is what I'm on and what's making me react so differently when I drink ! (That, or age ...LOL)

    You do NOT want Effexor - actually, I'm going to talk to my ONC and see if I can get weened off ....my hot flashes were SOOOO bad at first, but since theirs no way to know if I'm in natural menopause, I'd like to 'see' if I could handle the flashes on my own. Then I'd only deal with the Arimidex and Zoladex shots.

    We are NOT supposed to drink when on these meds..."alcohol consumption may intensify....blah blah blah"


    Ciao, baby

    HERO, class of '05


    Oh, psst! I finally went yesterday and had my mammo sono....now I haveto go on Wednesday and pick up results....

    YUM ! Spoon? or LADLE? L O L !

    I've had B52, but in shots...but I'm a little poopy with shots 'cause I think I'll get stupid drunk...

    So, I start with two beers, then have a cordial, then want to keep drinking, so I go on to the Whiskey..
    THEN I get stupid drunk but, atleast I'm in control

    (always beer before whiskey, I can vouch...who's the volunteer for whiskey before beer? )

    WHEN GIRLS DRINK TOO MUCH............
    1. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE OUR PURSE IS.

    2. WE BELIEVE THAT DANCING WITH OUR ARMS OVERHEAD AND WIGGLING OUR BUTT WHILE YELLING "WOO-HOO!" IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.

    3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S butt AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO.

    4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOK MORE LIKE A HOMELESS HOOKER THAN THE GODDESS WE WERE JUST FOUR HOURS AGO

    5. WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH.

    6. WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG PLAY'S BECAUSE "OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!"

    7. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.

    8. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.

    9. WE YELL AT THE BARTENDER, WHO WE BELIEVE CHEATED US BY GIVING US JUST LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE GIN.

    10. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE KITCHEN FLOOR (or the mop?)

    11. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID'S DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.

    12. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT.

    This was e-mailed to me I thaught it was cute. Although I haven't had a night like that in a few years! ( I hope it is not out of line )
