Too too funny!

So let me tell you how I spent my day. Never knew all the ingredients in a Margarita, so after you asked I went online to look it up, which took me to a recipe I decided to try out this weekend. I copied the recipe and started a grocery list, and that led me to my Great-Aunt’s cookbook from 1925 for another recipe to compliment the first one.

That prompted me to look something up on Ancestry, after which I resumed making my grocery list. Then I emailed a relative with the info I found on Ancestry, climbed out of THAT rabbit hole, and returned to tell you that Margaritas are made with tequila, limes, simple syrup and orange liqueur, and are usually served in a glass rimmed with salt.

Whew!

LOL! That sounds like every project I try lately. No wonder I feel like I never get anything done. But at least you went back to your original path and completed it. I just end up feeling chaotic and not even remembering what I was trying to do.

If you had asked me, I could have told you, tequila, lime juice and triple sec. You serve frozen or on the rocks. Most people like their glass dipped in salt.

I haven’t had a margarita in a long time because the lime juice gives me heartburn.

Yup, that pretty much described me! Even at work. They finally had to make me task lists to stick to, I would be doing task A and find an issue, follow that and find another issue, and on down the rabbit trail I go and totally forget about task A! Kinda makes me wonder if I’m ADD (grew up before that was a ‘thing’).

So now, if I find an issue, I have to tell the manager and it gets added to my list. Can’t touch it again until I get to it on the list. Annoys me because I think ‘it won’t take me but a few minutes/hours/days to fix this’ but it’s the only way to keep me ‘on task’. LOL

You can cut out the middle man & just suck a lime wedge, down a shot of tequila & then lick some salt.

Then you can kick it up another notch by licking the salt off of various body parts of the opposite se, but I don't have time to elaborate during a busy tax season..
