...then I am so very, very wrong.
A typical Friday night at Chez Mr Lady:
That's right. I brushed my teeth and went out with girls. My neighbor had a birthday this weekend, and we spent the night drinking our dinner straight up schwanky-style.
In celebration of doing it like the humans do, my recipe this week is for Stay at Home Mommy Martinis, aka Shit-tons of Coffee Martinis. All you have to do is....
Pour it in a chilled martini glass and go drunk dial someone.
So, what did youdrink cook for dinner this week?
*Dudes, they make the VERY BEST martini shakers. Try it; you'll see.

- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 espresso beans to garnish, if you're feeling fancy-pants

Looks like you had a blast! *sigh* other humans...one day I'll frolic among them again too.
Love "a sippy cup without the pluggy thing in it*"--ROFL!
Looks like you had an excellent time.
I love a good martini and I'm glad some great new martini bars have popped up near my area.
That drink mix you put up looks great.
OMG!! I have been dying for a low calorie dessert tonight, as I'm currently 100 cals below my normal daily goal (when does THAT ever happen??). I am so excited by this recipe that I literally can't even add anything to your Mr. Linky without this very drink in my hand. So...off to make it and back later with a recipe...which I feel morally obliged to do, given the name of my blog :) -- off to go turn off the flame under the tea water. Tea schmea. Virtue shmirtue. Gimme the MARTINI!!
ahhhhhhhhh.... cry of anguish..... we have no vodka in our house! I knew we wouldn't have vanilla vodka but figured a drop of madagascar vanilla might make up for that. But, since I can't use Peach Schnapps, Bitters, or Ouzo (who stocked our liquor cabinet, anyway??) to make your luscious drink, here's what I'm having right now:
1 oz fat free half-and-half
1 oz very strong coffee (cold)
2 oz amaretto
Stirred over crushed ice
It's quite delicious. But still a poor substitute for what I was dreaming of. This gives me an idea, though...perhaps I should have a little button in my sidebar for mommies to add their favorite martini recipes? Do you mind if I run with your idea here?
Thanks for inspiring me into the liquor cabinet tonight. I'm now in the much more comfortable/familiar 100-cals OVER my goal range...and I'm feelin' fiiiine!
Please prepare me ahead of time, when leaving.
I was lonely with out you.
I see that GMAIL pop up and she rushes for it. It is good to know it's just you and not someone she is dating online. Phew.
Continue.
I'm sooo trying this drink recipe.
And...I just got me a gmail account. What's up with the chat? Like an instant message thing? I'm going to explore right now...
I Mr. Linkied and will Mrs. Posty for Mr. Lady as soon as I kiss three kids and tuck them in. Check the blog in 20 minutes!
lunanik,
chat is awesome
I keep in touch with my friend from college. We drafted an entire novel one night all through chatting. And, gmail saves the chats. Awesome.

Ok. Which KIND of sippy cup, because, I really need to known. Ahem.
PS I added up how many months for me? 327! OMG! I started YOUNG and I hit the big 4-0 this year. Still going strong and if my family history is any indication, that right there adds up to me OWNING half stock in Kotex. Where is my wealth?
yum!
Crap...I knew I should have saved LM's sippys...damn it to all hell.
GREAT HOT SEXYYYY NEW LOOK, BTW...
IT'S HOT HOT HOT...
