Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Bronx Cocktail; gin, sweet and dry vermouth, and orange juice. Yummy!

We’re all going to need each other a lot more over the next four years.

Just like that, it’s December 2000 again…

I love you all…

I’ve barely gotten out of my bathrobe since Tuesday. It doesn’t help that I’m in the middle of a difficult contract negotiation for a new job opportunity, and I’m struggling to complete my continuing education hours for the year.

But I have wonderful emotional support, and a lot to be grateful for. Like my Lounge friends.

Some things are unacceptable. Since I know that, I'll find a way forward. Not going back.

Love this weekly post!

or is there so much collusion at the top that they can't ever tell us? What I mean is, do people really become more popular after a decades' long crime spree? Should some of us try it?

who chose to vote for Joe Biden in 2020 who either stayed home on Tuesday, or voted for Trump.

Bush infuriated me but he didn't scare me. Now I'm scared. A whole lot of things could go sideways, maybe beyod recovery. I've been doomscrolling for a couple of days, probably magnifying my anxiety, but here we are now.

and I'm drinking wine all by myself, which I rarely do, and streaming a very dark Finnish TV series. I'm trying to decide whether I should make an egg salad sandwich for supper or order a pizza or just finish off the wine. It's a nice sauvignon blanc. Maybe egg salad would go with it better than pizza.

My question for you is, egg salad or pizza or wine?
