Tequila Mockingbird: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margarita
Happy Margarita Day! I learned what a momentous day today was while I sat at my desk at work, so I’m happy to report I’m now sitting in my apartment with a margarita in hand. Well, on the table as I type this. Anyway, Margarita Day got me thinking about the novelty book, Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist. A friend gifted this to me during the holidays, and I have yet to make any of the beverages inside. What a great day to start!

A Litte Bit of Nothing
Happy Sunday night, friends. Like others who have a frequently consistent 9-5 or 8-4 weekday work or school schedule, my Sunday night is a combination of preparation (food prep, clothes prep, weather prep, among others) and milking the last few hours of relaxation, hobby, or blogging time. For the past 4 months, my Sundays have consisted of football watching and eating horribly delicious food, be it lunch for a 1:00 game or snacks throughout the afternoon and evening and half of the night for the rest of the “presentations,” as the NFL so eloquently describes the tackling, hitting, and rugged gameplay broadcast on my television. I haven’t been too active…
