Soup and Nails

Hey, Amanda,

I almost included the recipe so you wouldn't have to ask. lololol Long story about the cocktail but a simple recipe: equal parts vanilla vodka and Bailey's. That's it. But I have a rim sugar mix that's called apple spice that makes it extra special. It's by Stirrings; we have them in the soda aisles around here and in the liquor stores. They also make liquid mixers. I'm sure you could improvise with sugar and cinnamon, maybe a little nutmeg.

I have a faculty meeting after school and then a nail appointment at 4 today. In between the two I plan to stop at my parents' and check out the new entertainment center. Tonight I'm going to make Italian sausage soup (an easy favorite) and chill out. I'm into Run, my newest book, so I hope to get some reading in--even though I should be emptying the current entertainment center.

I trip to Tiffany with the girls definitely sounds like a good Monday excursion. Wish I were there... Only one and a half more school days to go.

Take it easy. Have fun with the girls. B
