Weekend Roundup

First football game of the season Friday night - unfortunately the Greenwood Woodmen suffered their first loss.  Despite the loss, we all had a great time at the game and I think for the first time in my life I ate a salad at a football game - darn 17 Day Diet.  The girls went home with my parents after the game and Hubs & I headed home to get a good night's sleep.  Our plan was to get up early and vacuum the pool before heading to Evansville.  Needless to say a night without children we didn't awake until 9:30 - I can't tell you the last time we slept until 9:30 - it was AMAZING! 

We head off to Evansville around noon - make it to 465 and I realize I have forgotten my outfit for Aquapoolooza - whoops sorry Hubs we had to turn around.  The typical 3 hour trip to Evansville took us 5 hours due to horrible construction delays on 70 - never going that way again!

We make it to Evansville just in time for the start of Aquapoolooza II and boy was it a great time!!!

Great live entertainment, great food (which I had to ignore), and great friends - what more can you ask for!

Now technically on the 17 Day Diet there is no alcohol for the first 17 days, but apparently the doctor who authored the book hasn't been to Aquapoolooza.  I'm a beer girl, always have been always will be, but I know beer is not the best choice when low carb is the goal.  I had to come up with a Plan B for my buddies at the party who are also participating in the diet.  Here is what I came up with:

Skinny Jeans Mojito

Rum
Blackberries
Blueberries
Mint
Truvia
Club Soda

Verdict:  Quite tasty, but a lot of work to make.

The John Daly

Seagrams Sweet Tea Vodka
Crystal Light Lemonade

Verdict:  WINNER  WINNER!!

Strawberry Lemonade

Parrot Bay Strawberry Rum
Crystal Light Lemonade

Verdict:  Scrumptious - a must try!

There's still a lot of summer left so when you need a refreshing cocktail I highly recommend one of those above.

Cheers!
