Coin it!

So, here's your chance to be creative! Sometime over the winter at a fantastic Irish Pub, Heather, Katie, Alfonso and I were introduced to the wonders of Jameson combined with Ginger Ale and a twist of lime.

It seems the phenomenon is spreading, because last night, our buddy Ryan was talking about how it is his favorite new drink.

However, 'Jameson and Ginger' just doesn't seem like a worthy enough name for this tasty libation.

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to come up with the most creative and/or best name for this cocktail. The winner (chosen by me) gets a bottle of Jameson to be delivered the next time the winner comes to my house.

GO!

This is why I hate rain...

Here's the thing about being a pug-dog owner: Pugs are awesome and will be your best friend.

They are very lovable and sweet and cuddly and goofy looking and fun to watch run about and take on walks.

They will tilt their head from side to side when you ask them questions and run to greet you when you arrive home from work.

They will snore and snore loudly when they are taking a nap with you on the couch, and for the most part, this is very adorable.

They will even be adorable when they wake up in the middle of the night with their whimpers because they are afraid of the thunderstorm going on around them. However, when you try to calm their sad little shaking body down by cuddling them in YOUR bed whilst trying to fall back asleep at 2:00 in the a.m., their snoring becomes considerably less adorable. Missing the hours of sleep between 2:00 and 6:30 in the a.m. becomes an issue when you must arrive at work at 8:00 in the a.m.

This is when coffee, not your pug-dog, becomes your best friend.



"Ha! I have kept you awake with my 'adorable' snoring and intermittent shaking and now you have to go to work and I have to take an all-day nap on the couch! Good thing I'm so damn cute and sweet that you will never stay mad at me and instead you will feed me carrots and other assorted delicious foods when you get home! I have bested you again!"
