Dude, where's my gin and tonic?

I'm playing a little game with myself. It's called: "Drink a cocktail while cleaning up the house at 3:00 on a Friday afternoon." Yeah, I'm better at making up games than I am at naming them.

As I walk from room to room putting laundry away and such, I keep misplacing my beverage, creating an ongoing scavenger hunt! As I retrace my steps to look for it, I have to keep tidying up each room I pass through. This is surprisingly effective, mostly because I REALLY want that drink.

Mary Poppins wishes she were me.

Dude, I knew you were my kind of girl. Gin and tonic are my drink of choice. Hope you find it soon.

I wish I had thought of this years ago.

I don't drink, but I still think this post is pure Newt, and Newt rocks. =)

I think it would work better if you were drinking "Whiskey Neat." Or maybe a "Gin and Tidy"?

Oh man, I should have titled this post "Dude, Where's My Sidecar?" That would have been funny.
