Can I hear a big old amen for the fact that Friday is finally here? Since coming back from Jamaica, it has been full swing ahead and this week has been one long day after another. But, I don't want to ruminate about work stress or the cold weather. I'd so much rather take a little trip back to Jamaica. Honestly, whenever ever I start getting anxious or feeling overwhelmed, I just pull these images up in my mind and I'm instantly transported back to my happy place.

One of the best things about being married to a Jamaican is that I have an excuse to visit Jamaica again and again!

I am more than ready to unwind with a few cocktails this weekend! On Saturday, some friends and I are going to check out a new bar that just opened up in my neigborhood--Bar Bar Black Sheep. Is that not the cutest name? I can't stop saying it! I've been drooling over the menu for a few days and I've already decided I want to order the duck tacos. I'm also in the mood to try a fun cocktail, like a French 75 (gin, champagne, lemon juice, and sugar). I've never had one, but doesn't it sound delicious and fun?
What is your happy place? Do you have any fun plans this weekend? What is your favorite cocktail?

You definitely convinced me about the movie when you said we should see something wedding related! And you were so right! The movie was hilarious and we had a great time! The Thai that I got was called pad thai (I think....the noodles) then I got sesame chicken (yum) and some kind of red pepper chicken thing. Delicious!!!
