It is Wednesday night and I am up to my ears in work. This is the price for going away; I come back to a pile of charts all needing my personal care. I just finished with 24 ‘call backs’ so I am too pooped to write out anything long or clever.
Someone reminds me we are having a theme party this weekend, titled “End of the World Party”. We need to start working on the hors d’oeuvres and I need to make a punch. The mind boggles; what sort of booze does one serve for The Rapture? The punch recipes I know are more likely to make people pass out, not pop out of their shoes and into the great beyond. I fancy making something called
Smurf Juice: a simple mixture of blue curacao, white wine, and ginger ale.
Well, Wednesday night is not a good night to plan a party. I need to tidy up and get ready for sleep – in my own bed! I am looking forward to this, Harper at my side.
I am eager to go a-visiting with my blogger buddies (far and wide) as soon as possible, which looks to be this weekend.
See you soon! It is so good to be home!

There’s always “Jonestown Kool-Aid”. Although I’d probably replace one of the ingredients……

“What sort of booze does one serve for the Rapture”? Lots!

I think that a nicely chilled Pinot Grigio is always appropriate. One should have something pleasant and refreshing whether one is ‘raptured’ out of one’s shoes or not. It should be of the finest quality that is affordable. If you must “leave your guests behind”, you want to leave instructions to ensure that they are well taken care of.

Something tells me the party will go on. And on. Welcome home!

Smurf Juice… do you suck that through a straw?

For the Rapture? Well, Virgin Marys would be appropriate along with a nice liqueur like Fra Angelico, and for champagne, some Dom Perignon who was a monk, after all. Of course those references are very Catholic rather than evangelical Christian. But even though we’re all very light in the loafers, I expect that we’re NOT the ones who will be flying upward come Saturday at 6pm. Should I be wrong, I’ll give you a call on my cell while I’m still in range of one of the towers to give you warning as you’re a couple of hours behind our time zone.

The Smurf Juice looks inviting. I’m reminded of my long-time crush on Leather Smurf. Remember him?

For the Rapture I say just go for the gusto….
I mean why bother with any mixers at all.
Jaeger Shots all around! and around, and around…..
….and if you opt for straight up Martinis remember that the olives do take up too much room in the glass! Serve those on the side!

Welcome home. It is always good to sleep in one’s own bed. That is one of the benefits of ‘going away.” You appreciate so much more what you have at home. I must apologize to you for being remiss in keeping up on your blog postings. Immediately upon my return from my trip I was called to duty to work fulltime for THREE WEEKS (or more possibly) to fill in until we get a new front desk clerk here at the hotel. I’m at work now, furiously trying to catch up with my blogging buddies.

Welcome back… there’s no place like home. I find that the older I get, the more I hate to be away from home… or at least my familiar surroundings.
