Biker Babes October 4, 2008

The idea of riding a Motorcycle is not a fun one for me, but luckily (can you sense the sarcasm) I married a motorcycle enthusiast.

When we first started dating DT had a Crotch Rocket similar to this aptly named because you crouch low down and its fast like a rocket.  I rode once and only once. On the back of the super tiny seat. DT promised he wouldn’t go fast, but instead he went 0-60 so fast I just knew I was going to fall off.  I was so mad at him, and even more so when he said “were just going  around the block” so I left my long hair down and around the block turned into 15 minutes, when I got off my hair was so knotted it took me 2 hours to brush out.  Needless to say I never rode with him again.  And before we got married he sold the bike, with no persuasion from me. ha ha!!

Well recently DT’s good friend Minute Man (MM) came down to visit from Mississippi and he rode his Harley, of course DT was drooling, he was in heaven, he wants one so bad. MM was down for one night and the boys took to him, he even rocked Little H to sleep it was so cute!

Here’s Little H and MM, can you tell who took the pictures?  DT is notorious for cutting people’s head’s off in pictures

Little W and I were inside so he didn’t get a pic.

So of course DT rode and somehow talked me into riding again, but this bike is so much better, it has a comfy seat for me, and no need to go fast.

I also learned my lesson, to pull my hair back and wear a helmet.  We rode for about 15 minutes and I did enjoy it, but at every curve I kept thinking what if we fell off…..

Texas-tini’s October 3, 2008

Do you ever get a craving for a really great Margarita? You have got to try this, it’s called a Texas-tini.  Texas-tini Why you might ask?; well because it is a blend of the ever delicious margarita but stronger like a Martini. Why Texas?, because I am kick ass like that.  Just try it ok, then you will know Texas-tini’s are kick ass!

Woo, I am feeling feisty today! ha!

No really I got this recipe from my kick ass Aunt Sannie (there I go again) several years ago and have been craving it ever since.  So I am so happy to be in possession of this recipe and now I can whip one up at my leisure.

Ingredients:

2 Shots of tequila, 1 shot triple sec or grand marnier, 2 shot’s sweet and sour, 1 shot orange juice, 1/2 squeezed lime, splash of sprite, salt and olives for garnish

Start off with tall shaker half full of ice

Add tequila, triple sec, sweet & sour, and orange juice

Roll lime like this to get more juice, cut in half and use a fork to get out more juice

pour in splash of sprite

And Shake good!!!!

Pour into salted rim glass, easiest way to do this is to use the cute lime to wet the edge of the glass and dip the glass into salt

Garnish with olives and enjoy!!  Trust me you will enjoy this!

Texas-tinis.

In a cocktail shaker, put

½ c. ice

2 oz. tequila

1 oz. triple sec (orange-flavored liquor)

2 oz. sweet and sour cocktail mix

1 oz. orange juice

Juice of ½ lime-freshly squeezed

Splash of sprite (or 7-Up)

Put top on cocktail shaker and shake, shake, shake.  Strain drink

into martini glass and garnish with 2 large cocktail olives on a long cocktail

toothpick.  Enjoy!

Sleepy Angels October 1, 2008

5minutes for mom is having this fabulous contest and it just so happens that I took the cutest picture of Little H the other day.

I was rocking little W to sleep and I couldn’t figure out why little H was being so quiet.  I went into the bedroom and saw this. He was dead asleep half under the bed.

So wondering what was under the bed, I looked and it was Whitey (our big fat cat)! He must have fell asleep playing with her.

ps. notice the little horsey tail and horsey feet, these are their horsey sleepers, and they are so cute!  Thanks Mom!

Here’s a sleeping pic of Little W for good measure
