Friday Happy Hour at the Frog Pond Cafe

Update [2005-6-17 18:5:23 by CabinGirl]: We’ve all moved over to a fresh thread here. Hop on over, and please unrecommend this diary on your way out!

It’s finally Friday, I got my urgent project finished, and now it’s time to celebrate! So come hang out on the patio for a cocktail, music, and good times with friends…
Welcome to the outdoor patio at the Frog Pond Cafe:

And look, GracieDog is already here:

*Can I get you a drink? I’m having my favorite “happy buzz drink”…

Happy Cosmopolitan Recipe
4 parts Absolut Citron
2 parts Cointreau
1 part fresh squeezed lime juice
2 parts cranberry juice
Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass (or reasonable facsimile) and garnish with a lime wedge

And how about some music? I know Zander likes Groove Salad, and here’s a link to a live stream from my local radio station.

And my happy story for this week:

Tuesday was the last day of school this week, and I was invited to join the kids for the awards assembly (it’s invitation-only because of space limitations). Well, I knew my son Jesse was getting an award for something, but didn’t know just what, and he was completely in the dark about it.

Well, he and I both got a big surprise! He won awards for language arts, math, and social studies! I am so proud of him, because he has had a really challenging year (my ex-husband has some serious alcohol-related legal troubles), and he went ahead and had a good year anyway! Not bad for a guy who was “evaluated” in first grade for not knowing how to write lowercase letters on the first day of school! </proud mama babble&gt

So, come on, tell us all what’s happening in your life? What good stuff happened this week, or why are thankful it’s over? Any fun plans for the weekend?

And as Sven Triloqvist likes to say, “May the 4s be with you…”
