A few years ago, I met a bartender who had a lot of similar features and personality quirks that put me in the mind of Snooki from Jersey Shore.

Seemed fitting and it was pretty tasty! Albiet it quite cinnamon flavored and not a drink you could chug. This one’s a sipper! Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients:

Looking back over my whirlwind summer, all I keep thinking about is how badly I want a re-do of my cross country road trip. Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly grateful for the fact we got to see and do all that we did, but there are sooooooooooooooooo many places I would have liked to have stayed in longer and had more time to explore. Because of the fact my job can be done anywhere with an internet connection, I hope to re-do the road trip over the course of an entire year. I’d love to have a week in each state and really get to know the areas we only had time to drive by. Sure, there are some places I’d be fine skipping, but the beautiful places, I want to see and explore them again. I want time to hike the trails we had to glance at, I want to eat in the restaurants we didn’t have time to sit in and I want to take more videos and more pictures!!!

I also want to do all of it from the comfort of a MUCH nicer vehicle. I found some great cars online on the website for the best used car dealer in Salina, KS and so many of them would be just perfect for a road trip. I know some people who purchase vehicles online require them to be transported to their location; using services similar to military car shipping, this can be done with relative ease. Ultimately, I think I also want a vehicle that we can LAY DOWN in so that when it’s too difficult to set up camp, we already have a bed made. It doesn’t have to be an RV, but I would like a vehicle as nice as my mom’s and would love to modify it for the trip. Yes – that’s what I want.

I’m moving into a house. I’m not sure where or when, but I’m stating my intentions publicly that within the next year, I’ll be moving into my new house. I’m getting rid of more clutter and paving the way for this to be my reality. I packed up three more boxes of junk for Goodwill today and they are neatly stacked in my car to take to the donation center this weekend. I’ve got more boxes ready to be filled, and I’m organizing more of the stuff that is still in my living space so that when the time comes to pack up to move into my new house, it will be easy to do so. I’m ready for my new home and can’t wait to see where it will be. I’ve even sourced myself a Champion Energy promo code so, hopefully, I will be able to get a new energy plan at a discounted rate. I’ve always thought it a good idea to prepare myself well in advance like this!

I want a home on a lake so that my husband and I can enjoy some water sports. I see us grilling in the back yard as the sun sets over our lake. I see a jet ski, a boat and a canoe. I see our dogs playing in the yard. I see a fun craft room for some exciting creations that I’m going to have a blast painting, building and designing. I see an office with my husband’s desk next to mine. I see a wonderfully organized home, gorgeous kitchen with lots of healthy foods, a stunning living room and the most comfortable bedroom of ever! My bathroom looks more like a spa than a residential bathroom. I also have an area perfect for filming a variety of Youtube Videos.

In my garage is my new car. I will have this car before or after I get my new house. I will definitely be sad to see my old car go as it was my first family car, and deep down I do love it, but I am also excited to pass it on to another family. I am currently looking at the different options there are to sell your car online, but I will talk about this in another post. However… I cannot deny that I am extremely excited to have my nice new car with working air conditioning, windows that go up and down with ease, great gas mileage and plenty of room for me, my husband and our two dogs for any road trips we may randomly take. I was considering getting a new Cadillac Escalade as they’re my dream car but I’ve had to be sensible as I’m moving house too!
Taking road trips in a car that is strong, sturdy and reliable is what you need to make your trip successful such as Ford F150 Truck.
