It's Thirsty Thursday!

[OrangePixyStix]

How are you today?

What are you looking forward to this evening or this weekend?

Any tasty drinks on the agenda?

It's going to be a great couple of weeks for me and I am hoping the same for all of you!

Today is BFF's birthday so we are going out to lunch together, and then all of our normal group is meeting up tonight at her house to watch the Texans game. Thank goodness I'm off tomorrow, as we do plan to drink some beverages of her choice while over there.

Tomorrow we head to Dallas for the weekend and have game tickets to my (second-ever) Red River Rivalry game.  The Texas State Fair is the tailgate grounds before/after the game, and this year they have a new award winner debuting that I am on a mission to try.  It's a funnel-cake flavored beer!

Funnel Cake Ale, as it’s called, is brewed with English malts, which give it a bready characteristic, and aged over vanilla beans, according to brew master Jamie Fulton. It’s light and airy, like a funnel cake, Fulton added, and very easy-drinking. The beer even comes with a powdered sugar rim.

And then next weekend I have a VIP guest for a weekend, and am super-excited to have her down and show her a good time.    I plan to introduce her to Mexican Martini's at some point, which are some of the best drinks around this part of the country, but there will be plenty of wine and vodka options as well.

How are you today? Good!  (Except that the sole of my shoe just fell off. It's...problematic.)

What are you looking forward to this evening or this weekend? Today is my Friday I'm off tomorrow to prep for Oktoberfest! Can't wait!

Any tasty drinks on the agenda? Probably a few vodka tonics as I clean.

I can't decide if that sounds good or not, haha. I would definitely give it a try!

Let me know if you want to take the super scenic route home on Sunday! It would only add an extra 1.5 hours to your drive.


I'm ready to get through next Thursday! We've got homecoming events this week and then next Thursday is the event that we are scurrying around to prep for.

Tonight we're having friends over and they're bringing the booze, so I don't know yet what we'll be drinking.



Edit: it never lets me make my clown smiley. So it's been replaced.

How are you today? Fantastic. The sun is shining, good night sleep, not a rushed morning, etc...


What are you looking forward to this evening or this weekend? This evening I will be finishing laundry and packing for Baltimore, then the weekend I'll be going to the Octoberfest with GLW, SitNSpin and MyName.


Any tasty drinks on the agenda? Not tonight but plenty over the weekend

glw , yeah, I was not sure what to think about the beer, but I'm definitely going to try it.   Hopefully it's not the longest line for drinks at the fair.

I'll definitely keep the scenic route in mind, but it will likely depend on how hungover we are and if the H is driving, then whether he wants to add the extra time on.  I'm already fearful of how bad the traffic might be due to the game and fair traffic, lol.    I'd love to see you, though, if it worked out!

I totally get if you're both exhausted after a full weekend like that. But it never hurts to throw it out there!

How are you today? - a little tired. I had bunco last night, and Dozer has been sick so it's been a little rough.

What are you looking forward to this evening or this weekend? - Tonight, I was invited to a scotch tasting, but I think I'm going to stay home. I have a bottle of Aberfeldy at home I'll break into tonight.

This weekend is a three day weekend for me, so that's nice. We only have one thing on schedule. Yay!

Any tasty drinks on the agenda? - Probably a glass or two of scotch.

How are you today? Good, it's my day off so nice and relaxing

What are you looking forward to this evening or this weekend? Going to have lunch/shopping with my bestie today.  Nothing exciting on the outlook this weekend though.

Any tasty drinks on the agenda? Just a gallon and a half of ice tea at lunch---real ice tea, not the good Long Island kind.

I'm great! I'm super excited for the next two weekends!! I won't be drinking tonight, out of respect for my liver.

This weekend I will be drinking beer all day and night with jennynumbers, glw and sitnspin, plus their lovely H's! I can't wait!!

I have Monday off which may involve $1 oysters and happy hour w a friend, then Tuesday is my cornhole league and our game is not until 9pm so one guy suggested going for a pitcher of margaritas before the game (which will involve many pitchers of Bud Light, lol).

Then Thursday I'm flying out to Houston to FINALLY meet OrangePixyStix! Mexican Martinis?? YES, please! I have never been to TX, and I have no doubt that OPS will be the best tour guide/partner in crime anyone could ask for!

And then I will be detoxing until Thanksgiving. lol

Well, I mean, on days that are not Tuesday, Friday or Saturday...or Sunday...and maybe some Thursdays. But definitely detoxing on Mondays and Wednesdays, for sure.  Probably.

I didn't want to name names unless you wanted everyone to know, LOL.

@stellarsailor , I wish you were joining us!  I plan to take her to some of the same spots as we went before, especially the rooftop bar and maybe the coffeehouse if we want non-alcoholic drinks at some point.

Lol, I was pretty sure you were doing that for my benefit.  But now I'm too excited to keep it under wraps!
