I opened the Kahlua!

And it is very, very good. The taste is more 'coffee like' than storebought. Smoother, in a way, kind of rich. I can't wait to taste the one I made with the Mandarin Orange vodka in it. It also has more of a "kick" to it, I can 'feel' the alcohol quicker. My laundry will probably not get finished today. Oh well... thats the way my day has been. The things I wanted to do have all fallen by the wayside. The things I really didn't care to do, (oh, say, the litterbox?) I managed to accomplish. hmmm. But now, I am going to sit back and sip on my kahlua and milk, write a bit, and see what happens. . .
Tomorrow I am going to be looking for the butler for my household. All suggestions welcome!

Oh, and I finally sucked my sister-friend into blogland. Go check her out, her link is right there, to your left! Around the bend. . .

Orange Vodka in the morning

I have learned this morning, that Orange Vodka is not a good morning drink. Even after you have had a sucky night at work, taking care of a Meth head who wound up on a ventilator. Orange Vodka is not like Orange juice. I don't even like Orange Juice. What possessed me? Well? I dunno. I had to get another bottle of Vodka to finish off my kahlua (made two batches.) I decided to mix it up a bit and toss in some flavored vodka. I chose orange. (Next time, we're going chocolate vodka all the way. They make it, I checked. I have to order it online, though.) I opened this bottle, to dump it into the kahlua base, and it smelled so darn good. So I poured myself a tot. (Little for me, little for you more for meeee, lessssss for uuuuuu.) Ladies, thats when I almost died. Five minutes later when I could breathe again. . .
Sigh. Now I need a nap. It was just one little shot, I promised. Sadly, it smelled better than it tasted.

my tiny tree

Well I am sitting here, goofing off, and figured I would try to upload a picture of my tree, with its pretty, feathery leaves. Have I mentioned I love my tree? Of course, right after I took the picture, Jack, my naughty cat tried to get onto the table and eat the pretty leaves. He lost outside priviledges for that. Not like he cares.
I am also trying something new today, making Kahlua. I found a recipe, it seems easy. The base of it is simmering on the stove now. After it simmers, and cools, I add a bunch of vodka, then, let it sit for a month. So if it works, in a month I'll post the recipe. If it sucks? Back to the bottle.
