5 ways to sneak alcohol into the movie theater...

Mike and I are always looking for new ways to sneak alcohol into the movie theater. Most times we just hit up the bar before going, but then you start to wind down during the movie and that's never fun. So....we came up with a list of ways to sneak it in this weekend to be prepared for X-Men.

1. Vodka soaked gummy bears -  This is a great recipe from My Thirty Spot using Smirnoff which you know I would marry if it was legal. Forget Mike, Smirnoff if always there for me when I need him.

2. Wine pouches - I love these things!! They are so small and can fit right into your purse. Our movie theaters are not that crazy over big purses, thank God, because otherwise we would be totally bored during the movie.

3. Good ole' Flask - That's right....fits right into a cargo pocket or your purse. Just get a large soda, which usually has free refills and leave some room at the top for your liquor of choice!!

4. Minis!! - Minis work great, too because you can have a variety of liquors and don't really have to count out shots. Just dump a whole mini in and call it a drunken date night!! They even have them in wine, too!! Or, be adventurous and just buy a pint....

5. To-go Shots - Venus Trapped in Mars introduced me to these a while back during one of my Thirsty Thursday linkups. You can find them at any liquor store and throw them in your purse for the movies.

Weekend Recap

First off, sorry I've been missing a little. Everything with Boost has really affected us and we've been kind of trying to keep busy lately. Truth is, I'm starting this on Saturday morning and it's really wierd without him sitting here keeping me company. He was my always here by my side whenever I blogged and it feels so empty without him. We'll miss you doodoo.

Friday night was a typical night in the village. Party across the street. Truthfully it didn't last that long, which was ok with me because I have been super exhausted lately. I haven't been sleeping well so my neighbor gave me some of her Melatonin and it's definitely helping. Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.

Saturday morning I woke up and messed around with my Influenster account. That's right, I signed up for Influenster!!! Jess over at The Girl Who Thought Too Much was talking about Influenster in her post last week and convinced me to join. Seems a lot like BzzAgent which I'm already a member of, so...why not try it. My social networks won't connect, however. Any clue what I can do to change that? It was connected to my Instagram but something came up to tell me to reconnect and when I did, now it won't connect. Tryin' a get them points so I can get some shit to try!!

Saturday night was very chill. the neighbors and I went to another neighbors and they had a bonfire and little home fireworks. Very laid back and perfect for a chilly spring evening. He makes hommade moonshine and he sent me home with a jar of my favorite kind. Peach cinnamon. YUM!!!

Sunday was a date day for Mike and I. We went to see X-Men and then went out to sushi. We stopped in to Ram's Head Tavern for a drink since we were a little early. The sushi place doesn't open until 5. But then we sat outside by the water and had some amazing sushi. I love that place and it's always BOGO so how can you beat that?? We got 4 rolls and a Kobe burger for $30.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal...

So I've said this before, but Christmas isn't exactly my favorite holiday. There really isn't one reason why, just seems like a lot of stress for 2 days. I, personally, like the family time more than the presents. Of course, getting new things is awesome and all, but the food and mostly the dranks are really my favorite part of Christmas.

But today, I'd like to talk about holiday movies. Chelsee and Christine are doing an awesome linkup called Christmas is in the Air. Last week we shared our Holiday Gift Guide, and there is a different topic for the next 2 weeks, too. Check out their blogs to get the deets.

I wouldn't say I had a favorite holiday movie, but we have a few that are on repeat throughout the entire Christmas season. They're all your old favorites. Well...kinda.

The first one stays on a loop from the moment it comes on Christmas Eve night through the entire marathon ending Christmas night. I can recite the entire thing in my sleep.

A CHRISTMAS STORY

Now, this is more a Mike thing that one that I actually like. Truthfully, I usually dread when it comes on because I know it's the only thing I'm going to be watching for the next 24 hours. When I said i can recite it in my sleep I'm not lying. I dream it, and usually find myself involved in A Christmas Story in my dreams. 

Home Alone...

allllll of them..

Who can go through the Christmas season without watching these?? I mean truthfully it's unAmerican. Pretty sure I've seen them so much I feel like Kevin is a part of my family. I wish i could have the balls to take on 2 robbers all by my lonesome. Get it Kev!!

And finally...my favorite of all time.

The Polar Express

Growing up, we used to read The Polar Express before bed every single Christmas Eve. We would read through it once and then listen to the guy talking on the tape. It was so cool and a tradition I hope to continue with my children. Last year, Mike got The Polar Express in 3D for me. I can't wait to watch it in the theater this year!!!

Now it's your turn!! Go link up for Christmas is in the Air!!
