Guess what Im doing tonight? Bet you can guess it pretty easily.
I am meeting some of my real life loves for a Twilight marathon. Were meeting to watch Twilight, New Moon and then finally Eclipse… and Im wearing? My I heart Edward shirt. Duh.
Yep. Im that girl. And Ive missed my man.
Our Air conditioner broke last night. We went outside to do some much needed yard work (3 hours worth, to be exact) and came inside to a not so cool house. Derek figured whatever it was, he could fix and assured me he had a few ideas of how to do so. After several failed attempts, it was too late to pester any of our friends or family for a bed in their cooled homes.
By the time we went to bed, it was clear the situation was not improving at all. We both had the worst nights sleep you can possibly imagine- waking up several times, sweaty and miserable- on top of the sheets, mind you. By the time we had to get up to start our days, we knew a call had to be made and hoped for the best (and cheapest). Living in Texas and having a 102 degree summer day already in June- AC is an absolute must.
Come 2 PM we had a repairman here fixing our unit- and by then it was a stifling 87 degrees. The man joked that it was cooler and breezier outside than inside our house. Once he wrapped up and explained it would take hours to get the temperature back down to a comfortable, I gave up and drove my sweaty self to Sonic for a giant slush. Ice water just wasn’t doing it for me seeing as how the ice would melt faster than I could chew it up.
As many of you already know, I work for a distributer here in Austin. We sell many products ranging from bottled water, tea, alcohol and energy drinks. Thanks to a suggestion from my dearest Erin, I have decided to take you along on my journey. I will choose a product we distribute and tell you everything I know about it- every Thursday. And now for our first… Try It Thursday! Because we just launched this new product last night, its new and exciting Ill start with it.
Crispin Hard Ciders are naturally fermented using a premium apple juice blend, not from concentrate, with no added malt, grape wine or spirit alcohol. The unique flavors are smoothed with pure apple juice or organic honey or organic maple syrup and contain no added colorants, sorbate or benzoate preservatives and are cold filtered for crisp refreshment. Whats even more different? The company is pushing that these drinks should be served over ice. What sounds more refreshing than an iced down tasty treat that will also give you a little buzz? Not much, my friends. Not much.
The appeal of this drink, aside from its all natural ingredients, are all the different combinations to try! Crispin Hard Ciders are deliciously crisp over ice on their own. They are also excellent accompaniments for professional and aspiring mixologists - for the Lazy Bartender looking for a quick, easy, refreshing cider cocktail adventure, or for the more adventurous wanting to investigate more complex creative mixology.
I threw together (and by threw together, I mean stressed and planned and organized) a boat party for my Irish guests. We ended up having a phenomenal turn out and I couldn’t be more pleased with how much fun we all had.
Guess who had her first dress fitting yesterday? Guess who is even more in love with her dress than she was before? Guess who could leap out of her skin at the thought of being able to put it on- that all important dress-and marry the man she loves?
Thatd be me.
Guess who is still exhausted from hosting two Irish friends for a week of eating, drinking and playing? Guess who could sleep for two days solid and still feel beat? Guess who hasn’t seen the inside of her oven for what feels like forever from all the packed on “must have” Texas meals?
Thatd be me.
Guess who spent fathers day with her Grandfather today? Guess who talked to him about nervously dancing with one another come that big day in January? Guess who saw him try on his Air Force attire he will wear as he walks her down the aisle? Guess who got teary eyed at the very thought of getting to share this day with such an amazing man and role model?
Thad be me.
Guess who has watched 20 episodes of Say Yes to the Dress this weekend- all while nervously hoping she doesnt see a dress she liked more than her own? Guess who still hasn’t found one that quite speaks to her as much as hers does? Guess who got her waist “sash” at the unbelievably low price of ten bucks?
Thatd be me.
Guess who felt her much anticipated niece kick from the inside out for the first time this weekend? Guess who took pictures of Macey playing with bubbles all weekend? Guess who genuinely enjoyed a weekend full of family time? Guess who capped it all of by sharing a beer with her love and their dogs on their back deck?
Thatd be me.
I just wrote an entire blog post that I was super excited to publish. It was a recap of everything thats been going on, pictures and even a pot of gold for each and every one of you. It didnt publish and I closed the word document without saving it. FML.
