Happy Hour with Michelle & Jeni

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to brush off the stress, negativity and blah of your week.  Enjoy some mid-week mixers with us without leaving the comfort of your home.  Uncork your favorite wine, pop open a beer, mix your favorite cocktail…. and unwind with us this evening.  And, if you’re feeling extra perky in the mornings, or need some help getting a jump on your day, join us for Morning Coffee weekday mornings, too!

 

Something to snack on

Yummy treats and random chit-chat starts our Happy Hour together!  

Popcorn is my (Jeni) favorite snack of all time. For Happy Hour tonight, I’m munching on some serious popcorn!  Jolly Time recently released four amazing new flavors: Confetti Cake, Belgian Waffle, Snicker Doodle and Sea Salted Caramel.  And let me tell you guys – they are amazing! The Belgian Waffle is probably my favorite, because it really tastes like a waffle with syrup on it!  If you spot these in your favorite grocery store, you should definitely pick up a bag!

What’s your favorite type of popcorn?

So the other day, my bestie sent me this article about The Neverending Story. She knows I (Jeni) absolutely LOVE that movie! Apparently, there’s a place in Germany, where most of the movie was shot, called Barvaia Films.  It’s like their version of Universal Studios. And they have all the props and characters from The Neverending Story there!  You can ride on Falcor and touch the Rock People…so cool! Read more about it HERE.

Were you a Neverending Story fan?

Ok, these are the best things EVER!  Holiday Specs. I (Jeni) found these at Cracker Barrel in the gift shop, but then found even more on Amazon! They are basically 3D glasses you put on and then look at holiday lights. Each light then has a character around it! Above, you’ll see I have the gingerbread man and reindeer glasses… it was hard to show you guys and take pic through the glasses, but it kinda worked! They are way more detailed than you can see from the pics. It’s so much fun, and I absolutely love these glasses!

Have you found anything new and fun this holiday season?

How fun is this? I (Jeni) spotted this Candy Land Gingerbread House Kit at World Market yesterday. I think it’s absolutely adorable! Plus, you get the characters from game, too.  It kinda looks like a regular gingerbread house, but I guess the characters make it unique and more “Candy Land” like.  I also found it on Amazon.

Do you build gingerbread houses during the holidays?

Dill pickle flavored vodka. hmmmmmm.

Could you? Would you??

I, Michelle, rarely buy myself anything. Well, I have been going through a few personal things going on and a friend told me about healing crystals. I was browsing around and found this one called Ash and it is a Clear Quartz, known as the master healer, amplifies energy, calmness and clarity.

Do you have a crystal necklace? What stone is it?

There are days that homeschooling can be stressful, but then there are days it is so rewarding! Monday, we (Michelle) did tons of fun Thanksgiving crafts and had so much fun! This was one day that I wasn’t ready to get a drink by noon!

Pick your poison

It’s been a week.  I (Jeni) have been sick, and working like crazy. Tonight, I need a quick little shot of relaxation…so I’m going for these yummy 99 Proof shots!  The Root Beer tastes exactly like root beer, and the Butterscotch is sweet and divine! These are so smooth and yummy, I don’t need to wash them down with anything after drinking them.  mmmmmm!

What are your favorite shots?

I, Michelle, am feeling a bit kinda pink lemonady today! I am going to make my regular pink lemonade (which is delish) and add some vodka in it. I might even add some ice and blend it up for a yummy Pink Lemonade Vodka Slushy. Get the recipe here.

Bitches & Moans

I (Jeni) love playing Words with Friends. I’m a Wordsmith and a grammar nazi, so it’s totally natural for me to love this game. 🙂  But OMG it’s so frustrating when I get awesome letters-  at the end of the game! When there’s nowhere to put them, and not enough room to make fancy words. UGH!  It’s silly, I know, but it’s frustrating and makes me roll my eyes. Stupid letters – you couldn’t come to me earlier in the game!? Look at that.. U, Q, A, Y, R, E and V!

Do you play Words with Friends?

Seriously.  Blake Shelton the “Sexiest Man Alive.”  I get that everyone has their own taste…but come on! With this fine creature walking the Earth, how can there be an argument about it!?  hehe!  Ohhhh yes, Jason Mom.  Handsome, sexy and oh so fun to watch on the big screen. He was the only reason I stayed awake through Justice League. The anticipation that he would be in a scene kept my spirits up through a horrible movie. I hope he starts making more movies – outside of the super hero realm. Anyways, whoever decided that Blake Shelton is the sexiest man is has clearly never seen a picture of Jason Momoa!! 🙂

Who do you think is the sexiest man alive?

Even just looking at this picture gives me (Michelle) the chill bumps! I do not like spiders, I have a huge fear of them and my anxiety just starts to rise. It is horrible. Anyway, this little monster showed up at my back door and decided to build a web right at my back door. Well, I don’t plan on going outside ever again. That is NOT  the worst part though. Went to take a shower and a huge black spider jumped out at me. Now, I was just about to get in the shower… so I was wearing my birthday suit.. the spider jumps out at me, I start trying to kill it with makeup setting spray, I’m whailing around. it was just not a pretty picture. I grabbed my clothes, ran naked through the house and told my husband a monster was trying to suck my blood. I will NEVER live this down.

What are your opinions on spiders?

Getting giddy

Last call
