I love being a woman. As Jackie Kennedy said “I am a woman above all else”. But being “the woman of the house” sometimes feels like more like being the social director of the carnival cruise from hell. I feel like no matter what I am doing I am supposed to be doing something else. If I am working my kid needs me, if I am with my kid my husband needs me, and if I am with my friends my boss needs me. A lot of the time it feels like whatever event is happening, which I’m supposed to be at on this little cruise called life is, on the deck of the ship and I can’t get to it!!!!

Well tonight I am serving cocktails on the Lolito deck. The Lolito deck being my balcony at home and the cocktails really just being fabulous Mandarin Orange Vodka Mojitos!  If anybody needs the social director (boss, kids, hubby, or friends) you know where to find me.

PS: I quit.

Blood Orange Mojito

3 Fresh Mint Sprigs
