Vodka has been my downfall (aka lover) for most of my drinking years. This affair started roughly at about age fifteen. Beer never quite grabbed my attention in the way that beautiful phallic shaped bottle of clear liquid did. It had too many calories and took too long to get drunk. Plus the taste of yeast and wheat couldn’t be masked by a nice splash of cranberry or a twist of citrus. So it was vodka that stole my heart with abandon, littering my weekends with random hook-ups and blacked out nights. But I can’t say that I regret any of it, because at the end of the day I still L-O-V-E, love vodka. I love vodka mixed with club, I love vodka in the tub, I like vodka in a shot, I’d even drink vodka with a tater tot. Clearly Dr. Seuss has nothing on me. Vodka in a word….it’s inspirational. How many subjects make you break out in rhyme? Point made as far as I’m concerned. Maybe if I wasn’t so enamored with the way it takes on the taste of it’s mixer or that it can make me tipsy in under sixty minutes, I’d be a little more successful in the matters of the heart. But then again, who could ever compete with a dirty Ketel One martini on the rocks, extra olives? Surely not any boy I know. The boys who go up against Mr. Absolut or Senor Grey Goose are at a disadvantage for sure, but what’s wrong with holding a man to high standards? So I’ll continue my search and hope that one day the sight of the right man will make my heart skip a beat just like a perfectly ice filled gimlet. Xoxo,Soph

In honor of Memorial Day, I wish to all of our soldiers love, strength, bravery and hope. May all the men we’ve lost in past wars and in this current one live on in the freedoms that they’ve granted us. And hopefully when a new and democratic (cross fingers), president is elected, we can bring these men home. If only integrity existed within the current White House administration, in what a different place we'd be……
Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Drink a lot. I’ll be back with more next week. Toast to our soldiers this weekend.
xoxo,

Have the tables ever turned on you? This boy was REALLY into me.....for quite sometime. The feelings were pretty skewed to my favor and in moments of weakness, I caved. Seems that the chasing has ended on his part. I shouldn't care, but I do.
It's that old adage; you always want what you can't have. Is it wrong to want what you don't have anymore though? Interesting how things can change before you're ready for them to. Depressed, I'm not....it sure is nice to be pursued though. The last couple of months the burner on my stove has been hot, but the past couple of weeks it seems like the fire's out. Even the hot to trot bartender (ATAT sufferer, but still) has waned in his textual advances. Even though I ignored him for the most part, the late night beeps on my phone were always rather welcome. I think next time opportunity knocks, I might just answer the door and keep it open for awhile.

I just bought these sandals at Old Navy
http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=39211&pid=570930&scid=570930022
and I am L-O-V-E. loving them. The shoes this Summer at ON are fantastical, affordable and hot to death.
And just FYI, I am digging boys who wear cuff links these days. Saw a boy at the bar this weekend sporting a fancy silver pair. It makes the ultimate prepster statement and I am all over that.
What boy trends make you swoon?

ATAT As a single girl of 30, I’m resigned to kissing more boys than those that are attached. In recent months, I’ve managed to kiss men all suffering from the same affliction. In illustrative terms, it involves a rather thorough massage of my tonsils. I have decided to dub it ATAT, otherwise known as All Tongue All the Time. I’ve only recently run into this problem and it leaves me wondering…..is this the reason these ATAT offenders are still single? I mean, no girl that has been kissed since they got their braces off could possibly enjoy this. And the guilty parties run the gamut. One was a super hot bartender, who I’m sure has given more than drinks to quite a few of his drink maidens. I expected more. Another I actually engaged in a relationship with…….I should have known that the under par kisses would lead to an avenue of issues. The list does go on, but I’d like to keep my promiscuity at least thinly veiled. I’m not saying that “french” kissing should be off limits all the time, but from start to finish??? Count me out. I’d love to know what type of hook-up moves have left you less than pleased! Leave a comment.
XOXO,
Sophia
