"Ladies' Liquor and Cake"

I am lucky to know JS, the wonderful poet and human, whose brainchild "Ladies' Liquor and Cake" is.

When the invitation to this "essential frivolity" came a few weeks ago, it urged: "These are desperate times and we must cut to the quick: good company (essential), cake (of course) and liquor (naturally)."

I was happy to attend. Now I'm full of good company and cake, sushi (it's my Boss Day), I made time for a yoga sesh, I'm deep into a couple of good books, and also At came by and I got a good cuddle in with the best human cuddle baby I've made! What I can control is going really well.

Outside is still a mess.

Pic: JS had a place for people to post uplifting upcoming events at "Ladies' Liquor and Cake." Her baby's name is Scout too, and that's yet another reason I like being at her place.

I need to start my own local ladies' liquor and cake. This is a brilliant idea! I'm having early Galentines on Friday, maybe I should make a cake for it!

"What I can control is going really well." This is SUCH a great framing. I may steal it to use as a mantra. (As long as it remains true, lol.) Love the idea of Ladies' Liquor and Cake. Sounds fun and bolstering.

I had to look up Boss Day on your link. Great idea. This sounds like a wonderful gathering with the perfect name! Cake sounds divine. (So does the rest of it!)

What a fun gathering!! And I love the boss day concept. We med more arbitrary holidays to add some light to our life! I had a great blogger lunch which totally filled my cup and was such a source of light for me!!

It is a mess and it's just getting messier. *sigh* At least we have cute dogs in our lives.

"What I can control is going really well." THIS is genius. I'm going to put this on a sticky note for myself and remember to Compartmentalize when I can.

Thanks!

Use as a mantra even if it's not strictly true, lol.)

It has been that kind of month, Steph! Hugs.

Not to brag, but I think it's the best thing I've ever invented, Jeanie. Haha. It felt good to be in company with like-minded folk.

Can't wait to hear about the FL meetup, Lisa!

maya said...

Gosh, yes. Bringing the joy and the madcap hilarity.

I'm sure I originally got this from you, Nance. :) But I like the idea of all of us trading solutions back and forth in these times. Hugs.

We picked this spot for Scout's memorial because of the way he'd always come bounding up to greet me around that bend. And while I d...
