Curses on you!
I hate it when you post these types of articles/round-ups so early in the morning.
Only 10:30, and I'm already salivating for a drink!
(um, er, once my hangover subsides, that is).
looks like a good weekend for boozehounds. (selective boozehounds, that is.)
Every weekend is a good weekend for boozehounds.
sucks to be you Mycubehas3sides, I called in sick- hang over- so in about half hour or so, after I take the dog for a walkie, I'm gonna crack open a cold one in your honor. I know I'm cruel, but hey this is America right, now excuse me while I start the long weekend.
p.s if you go to Geja's Café you better have burn
Insurance, as in personal burn insurance. I went there a couple of weeks ago. Its like the dining version of the horror movie SAW, you can eat your meal if you can survive third degree burns from molten grease
p,s the roasted marshmellow is Lincoln Park Cheezy
I currently work out of the home, where the bar is always close, but I don't actually hit it until after 5 p.m. Sorry to torture y'all.
Spook!

Aaargh, still a wee-bit of a headache (even after sneaking a wee-bit of a desk nappy-nap.
Breathe... only 2 1/2 hours to go...then Freedom!
