Mojito
Mojitos YAY!!!
My girlfriends took me to an awesome restaurant called Maroon in New York for my 30th birthday. The bartender there made YUMMY YUMMY mojitos (regular, mango, rasberry, etc.) and since then, I have become rather obsessed with the drink. I decided I would serve them during my son's birthday party (he just turned one, so it really was an adult party).
My, my, my, mojito
My, my, my, mojito
Ok. So where I am in the world, it's 3:05am on the 2nd of January 2007. You could say it's a little late to ring in the new year with a fabulous cocktail, couldn't you?

What's in my Bag?
My bag is a Kate Spade Medium Black Shopper I've had for about five years. I bought it used (over ebay lol) right after I graduated high school as a present to myself, but was disappointed with how big it was. A year and a half ago my purse was stolen so I dug this one out of my closet, fell in love with how big it was and have been using it 24/7 ever since lol.
