Some Things to Keep Me Sane....

If you can believe it, I am exhausted pretty much all of the time....
Just when I'm feeling overwhelmed and insane with all that is going on in my life, I look to some things to keep me sane....


1)  My computer.  I can lose myself on this thing....


2)  Guilty Pleasures.  I am obsessed with teenage drama TV.  I'm particularly fond of "Gossip Girl," "Vampire Diaries," and "Pretty Little Liars."  Yes, I'm aware that I am 30+ years old.....


3)  Real Housewives.  I know what you're thinking..."real?!"  But come on, it's awesome! New Jersey is my favorite! The craziness is the best part!  (I apologize to any fans, but the Miami cast is anything buy Miami....not to mention most of them don't even live here!)


4)  Starbucks Chai Lattes.  MMMMMMMM!


5)  Ice cream.  Yeah, I said it.


6)  SHOPPING!  They don't call it "retail therapy" for nothing!  I've asked my accountant if I can place this therapy under medical bills.  He wasn't amused.


What keeps you sane in this insane life?

Thirsty Thursday...Bacardi Rum 'N' Coke Float

As a child, my dad would make Coke floats with me on hot days.  He recently taught my kids to do the same...now they want one for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!

Recently I was playing on the Bacardi site.  They have this cool Mix Master link where you can choose ingredients and your level of difficulty, and it will spit out a cocktail recipe.  {SO FUN!}  And I came across my childhood favorite with an adult twist!!  How excited was I???
