Right now I'm bummed my favorite horse for the Kentucky Derby got scratched yesterday. Not so much that I won't watch or make mint juleps but still bummed. Maybe if I have enough mint juleps before hand I won't care as much.

Right now, I am SOOOO happy: I am finally back on wireless (thanks to Microsoft) and can now write D-Link a consumer complaint letter. (This after tripping over a wire and banging up my head, hand and ankle.) I am also going to the dentist for my exam to get the teeth thing going on Monday at 1PM PT. When our carrier damaged two of my seedlings she had to pay for the damage. She was also fired for refusing to pay and apologize in a timely manner.

right now, dd, landi and her honey and i had the best time at the hal kethum concert! there were maybe 350 in the entire theater. i changed into my hal shirt before i even got all the way into the ladies' room LOL he sang such great catchy songs and i was drinking wine and shooting out the lights and trying not to faint. landi sto--er, borrowed permanently a poster from the ladies room and her husband stol--er, borrowed permanently a poster from the glass case out front of the hall. after the concert, we hung around for a few minutes outside. all of a sudden, landi waved frantically from inside and we raced back in and there was hal taking time with each person who lined up--signing, posing for pics. i kept saying, "i'm gonna faint!" i think hal thought it was funny, but when landi was asked to take a pic of a couple in front of her in line, she said she wasn't sure who would catch me if i fainted while she was shooting the picture. i told hal i had missed him in our town the night before and that he was special to me and he had a big grin. landi and i had the most fun of anyone in the entire place. we were singing and clapping and dancing and as i mentioned, changing our shirts in the hallway! we got some b-shots before the concert and we should have thought to have hal turn around, but his face is so cute, we didn't think of it! we did get a couple of strangers to pose out front with us. the guy in the ticket booth was laughing. when i asked what i needed to show him to get in and suggested a butt shot, he said, "that'll get you in". i didn't even have to show him my confirmation off the email the theater sent me LOL it was wayyyyyyyy too much fun. sigh........ we had a disposable camera with us, but landi had a digital, so i hope she can post some pics later. remember, be forewarned, i do not photograph at all well, but i was having the time of my life

Right now, I hope there aren't any catastrophes at the Derby today... it's so wet. Right now, here is some useless trivia: I was born during the 1970 Kentucky Derby. The horse that won that year was named Dust Commander.

Right now I am happy Smarty won also. Still have some mint juleps left if anyone wants some. Right now I've also decided next year to have a Derby party. I've already been to the Derby store online but will have to wait until it says 131st Derby to buy.

Right now here's the recipe off the Kentucky Derby Website. However I use a lot more syrup and a lot less whiskey per glass. Very sweet drink can't drink but a couple but that's just me. Early Times Mint Julep 2 cups sugar 2 cups water Sprigs of fresh mint Crushed ice Early Times Kentucky Whisky Silver Julep Cups Make a simple syrup by boiling sugar and water together for five minutes. Cool and place in a covered container with six or eight sprigs of fresh mint, then refrigerate overnight. Make one julep at a time by filling a julep cup with crushed ice, adding one tablespoon mint syrup and two ounces of Early Times Kentucky Whisky. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost the outside of the cup. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Lol, Tabby! Thanks Biloxi Well, I know it's probably sacrilege to substitute but I only have JD or Canadian whisky
...plus I definitely don't have any mint...fresh or other wise. I will try making this one of these days though. Wow, 2oz...that drinks a sipper...lol ;)

right now, rupertbear, when my landlord from kentucky had his derby parties, he really did soak a burlap bag of sugar in a gallon of bourbon for an entire week. we didn't add any water to it, just the ice which melted a little, and our fresh mint sprigs. good thing i lived downstairs from the party! perhaps we should have added water? LOLOL right now, i have to say again that last night was a blast. from changing my shirt in the hallway of the theater in full view of the lobby (ladies room was full up) to the meeting and mercifully, my not fainting at the sight, of hal...and the 3 pound calzone my dd and i ate at the motel for an hour straight and still had some left.....well, i wish you could have all been there, but then again, i'm also glad i'm not in jail.....ehehehehheeeeeeee.... i also think it's a good thing landi's dh and my dd were with us, because we were still pretty wild gals. imagine if eggie and pamy had been with us. who can cook a cake with a file these days?! although, i do believe dear weinermr would try his darndest....
