A Cocktail and a Compliment

Stopped off at the Red Robin tonite for some din-din. Red was there shaking wings with the kids so that was a hit. Also, their seasonal cocktail--The Captain Gingerbread--is awesome. It is Sprite, Captain Morgan (my dear, dear friend), and Monin Gingerbread syrup. Sounds weird but it is sooooooo yummy. Gotta try it if you are a spiced rum fan.

So, this morning I put on a new jacket I bought last weekend in NJ. It is 4 sizes (really) smaller than I would have bought last winter. So, I'm feeling good in it. Its nipped in at the waist and its a khaki color. I'm wearing it with black trousers and a black turtleneck. Boring. It needs something. I try a belt. Nope. Another belt. Nah. Then, I dig in my massive drawer of scarves and pull out a khaki/black scarf. Slap it around the waist, tie it in chunky knot off center. Good! Me likey!! I head downstairs to grab the boy and go and as I come down the stairs he looks up a me and says "Mama!" then gasps and stares. I say "What's the matter? Do you like my belt (scarf)?" He slowly nods his head as I descend to the bottom and as I pass him by he reaches out to my waist, continues nodding, gives me a wink, and simply says "HOT".
