Professormom Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Is it too late to switch to conceptual chemistry? It was the original plan until she got into the live Apologia chemistry class on VHG. It is never to late to do what works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) For the face or the margarita? 'Cause she was drinking one too. :D Take yer pick. Because I'm talking like a pirate now. Arggggggh. I don't care if people drink. I don't drink, but I don't care if other people do and I think it has zero to do with hell, in case there are literalists among us creeping on our thread.

Professormom Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Now I want a Jack and Coke, Uncle Bob-style... I picked up a bottle of hard berry cider from Seattle Cider' had it with dinner. It was ok, but at least I am relaxed after decorating our tree and putting up and decorating my in-laws tree. Frankly, Jack and Coke sounds just right :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Shoot. Off to Amazon. Like I haven't spent enough money this season. I have wonderful visions of morning time... poetry and Bible reading and mommy-daughter bonding. Reality? We play games. I'm such a loser. The game is less than $10 so ya won't go broke, at least. Now I'm coveting JoJosMom's margaritas. What does that mean for me? Hell for you, too! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 There could be a teaspoon of vodka in a quart of orange juice and it would be gross to me. My mouth is overly sensitive. It is annoying. My sister is the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professormom Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I tried a margarita for the first time last night at the church Christmas party. Dh begged me to try it; I suspect only so he could see the face I make every time I taste an alcoholic beverage. Poopyhead. Naturally the pastor's wife was right there to witness it. :D Don't worry. She probably drinks too. I know I would if I have to live in that fishbowl:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yes - my brother said they have played it with 12 people before. Gets a bit crowded and maybe violent. We are violent with four players. :leaving: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 There could be a teaspoon of vodka in a quart of orange juice and it would be gross to me. My mouth is overly sensitive. It is annoying. Ah. Bummer. I don't know that my taste buds are so sensitive, but for sure my brain is. True story: When I was young and single and (relatively) attractive, I never, ever drank. (Or partied or swore or kissed boys etc., etc.) So the CHP wanted to use me as the "non-drinker" example for a measured-dose alcohol demonstration at a Street Faire. When I felt sufficiently impaired that I would "give my keys back," they did a breath test on me and I measured a .04. They got me up to a .08 AND I DON'T REMEMBER. And my wonderful friends in the DA's office who were my support and my ride home ABANDONED ME and went bar hopping. So the CHP officers poured me into the patrol car and took me home. Oh, the neighbors had a FIELD DAY with that one! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I want to play Dutch Blitz. Haha. I had a really bad week. Like really bad. So Friday, I made an egg bake with onions and sweet potatoes for lunch. I had the skillet in the oven, took it out and stuck it on the counter. Of course, when I went to serve it, I grabbed the handle. Without hot pads. Ye gads. So I am trying not to cry from the pain. Tears running down my face. Dh comes in, grabs one of the carrots in the bowl in front of me and holds it up. It was shaped like a body part. Not one of mine. You can guess where I am going with this. Anyway, his little gesture had me crying because I was laughing so hard. I could not have grown a carrot like that if I tried. And the rest of the day was on the upswing from then on.
