Thirsty Thursday-School's out for summer...almost

It is that time of year...the last week of school that drags for school teachers, students and parents alike.  Everyone is excited for different reasons.  Teachers are excited because they get rid of that one kid that just grates on their last nerve (yea, I know the spill..."I love all my students equally..."  I worked in schools for 7 years; I know the truth!).  Kids are excited about the freedom and sleeping late (if they are teens).  Parents are excited because the summer usually brings a more lax schedule.  Most of the school districts around us start their summer break tomorrow.  Not mine...Pistol has one more meaningless day.

So in celebration of summer break starting, I found a nice little peach flavored drink that reminded me of summer.  If you don't like peach, then this blog post may not be for you.

Here's a quick grocery list:
1.5 fl oz of peach flavored vodka
1.5 fl oz each of pineapple juice and cranberry juice cocktail
0.25 fl oz of fresh lime juice
2 fl oz of ginger ale

Combine the first 4 ingredients in an ice filled shaker.  Shake well and strain into an ice filled collins glass (one of those tall skinny glasses).  Top it of with the ginger ale and drink up.

Enjoy the night with a drink in one hand and a bowl of ice cream in another.

Hugs ya'll,

The Beginning

I thought I would use the first post to let you know a little about me, the Lone Star Ginger.  Obviously, I am a redhead from the great of state of Texas.  But I am also a speech therapist who works with little ones.  I'm a mom to 2 great kids who play sports pretty much year round!  Then there's my wonderful hubs who is a perfectionist and not afraid to tell me when one of my products looks like crap!  I have dabbled in jewelry making for several years now.  I love it!  I love playing with colors, the imperfections of hand stamping, and the look on customers' faces when they get their jewelry.  I really love making necklaces for my daughter, who doesn't wear anything I make her (note the extreme sarcasm here).  That's another thing about me...I have a healthy dose of sarcasm that I am proud of.

Now on to why I started this blog and what I plan for it to feature.  I thought it would be fun to promote the jewelry and other accessories.  There are usually stories or experiences behind each piece.  Some are funny, some are not but there's still a reason for each piece.  My plan is to blog once a day (yea, I know...ambitious) giving each day it's own special title.

Lazy Southern Sunday: could really be anything that I find relaxing

Make up Monday:  fun beauty tips either that are for gingers, sweat proof, humidity proof ( cause let's face it, in Texas summers we deal with LOTS of heat and humidity) or just really interesting

Texas Tuesday: this blog could feature a small Texas business, vacation spot, fun restaurant or interesting fact.

Wonderful Woman Wednesday: feature a woman every week who does amazing things!  Whether you're a stay at home mom, working mom,or single mom, you are amazing!

Thirsty Thursday: self-explanatory...starting the weekend early!

Fashion Friday: fashion tips showcasing LSGB originals! 

LSG Saturday:  showcasing new pieces and the story behind them.

While I hope everyone enjoys the blog, I know that is unrealistic.  So like I was raised: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Hugs ya'll
