Am I the only one still in town for the 3-Day weekend? I feel like it.
Yesterday I was a chaperone for my youngest's field trip to a working farm. It was a beautiful day and the opportunity to spend the day in the sun was fantastic. (I live in Oregon... 'nuff said) 2nd graders have crazy energy and incredible minds which lead many of the parents to ask "Is there a bar in the barn by chance?"
You know what I'm in the mood for? A Virtual Girls Night Out!
New to the party? Welcome! The original Virtual Girls Night Out is a blog-hopping party that began in the summer of 2008. I couldn't get a sitter and I was in desperate need for time away from my children. So, I did the next best thing and turned to my blog friends.
To join the blog-hopping fun, check out my VGNO post then sign the Mr. Linky guestbook below. Visit fellow bloggers that have signed in as well. Go blog-hopping!
Time For Some Tunes!
Carolina Liar "Show Me What I'm Looking For"
My latest daily listen. Love it!!! But where is the rest of the band? Chad Wolf is adorable but hey, have you seen these guys?!? (Not that their level of hotness decides weather I like their music or not but it doesn't hurt ;-> )
Time For A Cocktail!
Carolina Iced Tea
Ingredients
1 1/2 oz Southern Comfort®
1 oz Captain Morgan® Original spiced rum
1 oz peach schnapps
1/2 oz vodka
5 oz sweet iced tea
Directions
Add alcohol and stir lightly. Pour in iced tea. Stir a few more times and serve.
Note: Add a splash of lemon and garnish with a twist for a classy drink or serve in a mason jar for a real down-home feel.
Goodness gracious! No wonder things seem to move slower in the South. They've got some kick-ass Iced Tea ;->

Maybe this will deter those linkyers who do not actually participate :)
Happy weekend all!
Yummy, yummy popcorn!! I love stovetop popcorn!! And I'm a traditionalist when it comes to popcorn, I think the Butter flavoring would be awesome. Or caramel. Or kettle corn. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteYikes, I didn't realize Mr. Linky was on the fritz. Boo hoo. Here's my linkage all the same (and I added some info about your giveaway on my post, too, and I'm about to Twitter it!):

Happy VGNO! Sorry Mr. Linky is sick. I have noticed others having the same problem.
Oh, I LOVE popcorn! I could eat it every day! What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd try the kettle corn! I've never seen that kind of seasoning before. Very cool!
What is UP with Mr. Linky? He's acting VERY moody lately!
Happy GNO!
Please add me to the list!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great concept! :) I'll be making a post on LT in just a moment!
ReplyDeleteI am entering the giveaway. I like the white cheddar and caramel flavor. I also checked out the store locator and found out that it is available at my local grocery store. I will be making a purchase the next time I head there (in case I don't win).
ReplyDeleteNacho Cheddar sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO! Enjoy your 3 day weekend. We'll be sticking around town too!
THANK YOU ANN!!!!

ReplyDeletePrincess Nagger and I would love the White Cheddar, while hubby would be lovin' the Jalapeno... :)
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, Ann! :)
We are popcorn freaks here. We make it almost every night. Parm/garlic would be my choice. We usually put garlic pepper on ours by mccormick. I hope I win! Sounds awesome!

HAPPY VGNO!!!
Popcorn sounds good, but not as good as that Iced Tea! But, the cheddar would be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO.
Happy VGNO, sorry I missed it, only a 2day weekend here this week. I didn't fit everything in. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! We are also in town for the long weekend. Our daughter has a soccer tournament (that God it's local this time!) so we are here for the duration. I just had minor surgery yesterday so I don't know if I'll be out there with the other soccer moms today. I came home loopy from the anesthesia and slept on and off until 3 AM when I woke up and realized (horrified)--I'D MISSED VGNO!!! I almost got out of bed and went to the computer right then and there, but thought maybe it was not a good idea. So now I'm VGMO (virtual girls' MORNING out) instead! :)
ReplyDeleteSusan you do whatever you need to do to have whatever kind of 'Virtual' party you need!
ReplyDelete(This party lasts all weekend anyway :-> I think I should add an "s" to the title Virtual Girls NightS Out )
I have something for you over at my blog--please do come by and get it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stoppin by my blog! I'd love to join!
