The dead of winter! For some people, margarita day is more likely to be celebrated if it were June. But for those who live in New York, where the sidewalks are currently covered in dog-soiled snow that, they will understand the sort of resemblance of a foul frozen cocktail,<br /><br />According to studies, Americans on average drink 185,000 margaritas per hour, making it almost a patriotic duty to imbibe. National Margarita Day might not be a real holiday, considering it’s not on Wikipedia, the decider of all reality. But plenty of people out there were delighted to have an excuse to enjoy an adult beverage after a long day at work.<br /></div><div align="center">I think I'll make a pitcher of them today and have a few friends over!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Tell me, what's your favorite Margarita?

He came a bit early (33 weeks), so is very tiny. Ethan was born on Friday, September 10, 2010, weighing in at 2 pounds 12 ounces and 15 3/4" long. He is doing amazingly well! He is beautiful and is holding his own. He will have to be in NICU until he gets bigger and stronger. Please pray for him as he grows and becomes stronger so that he can go home to be with his family. Big brother Evan thinks he is the cutest thing and goes to visit him daily. I never knew one child could have so many "big brother" shirts!!! :)</div><div></div><div>I hope to be writing more and keeping up with my blog. I also hope to having a "Give-away" soon! I do read your blogs late at night while tying to wind down from a hectic day. So many inspirations and ideas out there!! </div><div></div><div>I will be joining BNOTP for Met Monday soon with items I have been making changes to over the past year. So keep an eye out!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>Warm Hugs,</div><div>Linda</div></div></div></div>My Shabby Rose Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00650939368419097297noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223471995204140320.post-64399593956080654472010-02-23T07:29:00.004-06:002010-02-23T07:33:46.819-06:00Fresh Lemons!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi462t3HijaoHjxvMS7_quSTO_1Gx1CpzKxovV4mosEgCkeuKhJPNGBjOTHhDlcemOFtXAfXUuvVMFNGvJ7qK6S9RlgplDw2KjFSfnHdTTKPaNvd12_HkafIvjac44cEurMVsmyTmXSZW1L/s1600-h/Lemons2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 275px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441430624501383426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi462t3HijaoHjxvMS7_quSTO_1Gx1CpzKxovV4mosEgCkeuKhJPNGBjOTHhDlcemOFtXAfXUuvVMFNGvJ7qK6S9RlgplDw2KjFSfnHdTTKPaNvd12_HkafIvjac44cEurMVsmyTmXSZW1L/s400/Lemons2.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PQtSERwA-cWlwH-kFGRgOTVXhskBxerLEGSu543teYfXDBZMzrXkvdjeOZmrb9q1YlO5WvdgoRxHryiNSufPLuHCcvfBG55sWpV9kMGLtbPVA_U12qXJMGMQ5-P7cxeSzimwTQplNn83/s1600-h/Lemons1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441430619127593186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PQtSERwA-cWlwH-kFGRgOTVXhskBxerLEGSu543teYfXDBZMzrXkvdjeOZmrb9q1YlO5WvdgoRxHryiNSufPLuHCcvfBG55sWpV9kMGLtbPVA_U12qXJMGMQ5-P7cxeSzimwTQplNn83/s400/Lemons1.jpg" /></a> Lemons from my tree!
