A couple of years a...OK, here is my drinking story:<br />A couple of years ago on Cinco de Mayo were were invited to an all you can eat deal (too long of a story to explain) and there were also all you can drink margaritas. I drink about as often as you mentioned and I can tell when I have reached my limit. I usually drink a white wine, wine cooler, or one fuzzy navel. I felt the margaritas kicking in, so I stopped. Well, no one bothered to tell me that tequila has an after-burner stage! Hubby and I went to Wal-Mart on the way home and I was certifiably drunk at Wal-Mart! I was telling people how nice they looked, talking loudly (even more so than I usually do), and not able to remember a dang thing that we came in to get. But I didn't KNOW I was drunk, that is the ultra funny part. So here is your future warning: don't drink margaritas or tequila! I think I would have died just going to that body exhibit without being hungover or drunk. Gotta love your honesty!!!!!!debbyrosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-4546755647095598802011-05-26T07:19:58.068-05:002011-05-26T07:19:58.068-05:00Baby robins are so cute.

I have had a crazy time with a nest and babies that blew out in the storms the other night. Tell me about the plastic you have around that nest--how you did that and why if you get time. I might need to do that next time so I don't have a sad week like I have had!

I've never had to kill a coon but I am afraid I will be faced with that as we prepare for our forary into chickens (we got a bunch of chicks arriving in 2 weeks).
