The Party Don’t Start Till I Walk In….Link-ups!

May 30, 2013

Linking up again this week for…The Party Dont Start

and then for a new one: 

 

I haven’t blogged all week because I had my friend Bellydancer here visiting and then I had to finish the paper I was supposed to get done before she got here and didn’t. Then I had my new part time job which involves going to dinner and out to KTV and getting paid. Its wonderful to get paid to just hang out with someone.

So anyway…the link up! We partied this weekend for my coworkers 30th birthday!!! Yay!

Its hot in my part of China right now…HOT HOT and so even though I start most nights decently ladylike by the end of the night I am sweaty duckfaced mess. Don’t judge me. 

doing what I do best….
 
So there you have it! Go link up!!! 

And here is my drink…
Passionfruit Mojitos! 

I love mojitos but nothing makes me a happier girl than finding a place that makes a passionfruit one! 
 
Passionfruit Mojito
1 ½ oz. Parrot Bay Passion fruit Rum
1 oz. Passion fruit Juice
½ oz. Sour Mix
5 Mint Leaves
A Splash of Club Soda
 
and then sit back and enjoy 🙂

Wine so fine…weekend update!

May 20, 2013

I finally got my bum out of my apartment this weekend which is good since I need to start getting through the list of things I want to do before I leave China. 

So there is a new wine bar in town and we got tickets to a tasting. First, its hard to find good wine here in China and second…shit didn’t have a second. 

My two favorites from the night were 
John B. -Reisling 
(South Africa) 


AND 


St. Michaels- Chocolate Zin
(American) 
Yes bitches…that is chocolate wine and it tastes amazing. May have to order a crate of it!


Anyway. The night started like this right…I looked all lady like and properly dressed for the first time in like 5 months….
My two coworkers GCgirl and Saffer on either side of me 😉 
Then we went from Champagne to wine and things got messy…..

Sidenote: I was not passed out just trying to prove to him I am too damn heavy to be carried! 
and then…..
there was a club and beer….


there are so many more but I decided to save the ridiculous ones for Thursday’s link up.
Was a fantastic but very rough night!!

Then I spent all day Sunday cleaning my apartment because BellyDancer will be here this Saturday and I am soooo very excited about it! 

How was your weekend?? 

Link up with these awesome blogs and share your weekend update 🙂
