How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Friday Night Giggle *Virtual Night Out

in Uncategorized on 04/17/09

I have a raging headache. I’ve dragged myself on this school trip. Who starts a field trip at 8:20 am anyway..school starts at 9am and that’s early enough for this house.
We are rocking and rolling on the dreaded school bus. Kids are whooping it up. Yelling, laughing, singing, having a grand ole time. My head continues to pound pound pound. I feel like crap, hate the sweater I’m wearing, forgot lipstick and am pretty sure I am having one of my worst hair days ever. But I am here for my kid.
SweetGirls best friend reaches over the bus seat to touch my hair and says:
“You look like Malibu Barbie today”
LOL. Well that made me laugh, cause Barbie I am not. Gotta love that kid. Maybe kids can see us for who we are, not who we aren’t.
Thanks little friend, I’m embarrassed to admit it, but you made my head feel a wee bit better.

Now for a drink to celebrate my first ever virtual night out and to match my new Malibu Barbie Status!

Malibu Barbie Cocktail
A delicious recipe for Malibu Barbie, with Malibu® coconut rum and pineapple juice.

Serve in: Collins Glass

Ingredients: 2 oz Malibu® coconut rum and 8 oz pineapple juice

Method: Stir ingredients together with ice cubes in a collins glass, and serve.

Cheers!
MM

      So cute…the Barbie comment…gotta love those kiddos. I hope you feel better…my biggest fear in life? Having to get on another bus for a school field trip. I would much rather go to the gyno and the dentist…at the SAME TIME. I have done the field trip thing….but I skip the bus now…I have learned.
      take care my Barbie friend.

      What an awesome compliment – and you know they say ‘out of the mouth of babes’, so there must be some truth to it! 😉

      Hope you’re feeling better – that drink sounds YUMMY!!

      Happy VGNO! 🙂

      Malibu Barbie! Omgosh… what a compliment. Yeah, you gotta love kids.

      I was able to get Britney. Wasn’t easy though. Trying to find an appropriate picture of the girl was a little hard to do!

      Happy VGNO!

      I hope your head feels better, and KUDOS for surviving the school trip. I went on a few, not really my thing, but I was there for Tara! We had one field trip that we left the school (elementary) at 6:30 and didn’t get back until after 7:00pm. Now that was a long day!
