The Ghost Posts ~ Moxie Needs A Drink

It's Thursday night and ever since college, Thursday night means drinkin' night. Unfortunately, I'm in charge of Darling tonight, so no booze for me. But a girl can dream, right? Instead, I've got to go and fight 4 year old cavities, hair washing and read stories about unicorns...WOOO!! I live it LARGE!!! I know you're jealous!

Moxie's a strict beer drinkin' babe, but she has a strong penchant for "pretty drinks". (I'm all girly like that!)

If you need suggestions for a Friday Fright Night Drink-A-Thon (watch C-Span) take Nuke's suggestion and curl up with a scary movie.
