Usually

Usually in the middle of December my company throws a Holiday Party. Usually that means that three S. Floridians get as bundled up as possible and head to Chicago. Its a brutal trip and usually not fun at all. We are not prepared for the weather. We are usually toted from one place to the other due to driving conditions and taken to dinner. We usually end up sitting in the airport waiting for our return flight as there always seems to be a weather delay.

Usually has ended today.

Today the Chicago office is headed to Florida. South Beach to be exact. The weather is in the 70's and sunny. No rain in site. We will be whisked away to an ocean view room within walking distance of all clubs and bars. Our hand will never have to reach into our pocket as all drinks and meals will be taken care of.

I know...Hate me. Go ahead. I don't care.

I know, I complain about my job all the time. I know I have it good. I know, I am a whiny complainer.

But as of right now, no complaints....Just blissfully happy. Happy knowing that at 5 pm I will be headed to Mojito Heaven. I wont have to worry about a thing. Just enjoying myself.

So what I would like to do for any of you that may be reading this and miserably cold... I am going to give you a Mojito recipe. I want you to trudge to the store - go get the ingredients. Put on your bathing suit and sunglasses. Go into your bathroom and put on the heat lamp. Take a sip of the lovely concoction.

Pretend your me, if only for a moment.

Ahhhhhhh....
