Pretty Much My New Boyfriend (and a really cool giveaway to thank you for your support)
This post is sponsored by Sauza Tequila because I like alcohol and Sauza is quite delicious, especially in margaritas. You can also potentially win a really excellent prize if you read through the post!
For various reasons, I have watched this video so much I kind of feel like we know each other. Like, we're pretty much dating and he's just away saving lives or at some kind of firefighting conference or something.
However, this week I'll actually be using him for something other than his good looks. He'll be teaching me how to make margaritas for my Cinco de Mayo party. So, here's the deal. If you live close enough and still want to come drink margaritas this Saturday way out here in the country, email me, but I've decided to actually host a big summer party at my new/old house, you know, the one that burned in January that we're moving back to, fingers crossed, in about a month?
That house is actually right across the street from a really cool little inn/restaurant where folks can stay and then just walk across the street for the party. The house we live in now is totally out in the middle of nowhere and the logistics proved difficult for a party wherein I would have to transport tequila-drinking folks to some sort of dwelling for the night. So, if you want to come to a summer party, I'm thinking toward the end of July, then feel free, we are going to do it up, housewarming style. I'll write much more about it as the time draws near.
In the meantime, I am planning a smallish Cinco de Mayo party this Saturday so I can get my Sauza margarita on. But listen, I have figured out a way to invite you to the summer party and teach you about margarita-making, all at once! Watch this video and leave a comment here telling me your favorite part. I'll randomly select one commenter who will then win a gift card to the inn/restaurant across the street from my house in the country. Enough for one night of lodging. (This is on me as a thank you for supporting me and is in no way affiliated with Sauza)
Speaking of Sauza, they are offering killer coupons to get several bucks off any Sauza purchase in these last few days leading up to Cinco de Mayo. So get your margarita on! You can learn how to make a killer drink by watching the video and then leave me a comment telling me your favorite part of Hotty McHotterson's drink demo and you just might win that gift card worth a night of lodging at this quaint little inn across the street from my house. You can use it and come to the summer party at my new/old house or you can opt out of all that and just use it for a fun weekend away from the kids, it's totally up to you. (This is where you'll be staying). Reminder we are near State College, Pennsylvania, about four hours from NYC. Leave your email with your comment so if you're the winner I can contact you and find out where to send the gift card and then you can privately choose whether you want to use it to come to the summer party or just use it on your own time. Ready, set, go!

I love when he randomly has his shirt off while he is making the drink...then there is the kitten...or when he is speaking French. Hell, the whole damn thing!
Oooohhh, hot damn! My favorite part is the coy smile when he's pouring the tequila. Or the look and the way he says 'so hard' talking about wearing heels. Hahaha!!! So, is he gonna be at this party, or......?
""whether it's helping her choose leggings or pants, telling her leggings are pants"
Since my husband has declared that leggings are the worst fashion trend for women in the past few years because we use it as an excuse to wear glorified sweatpants (the nerve), this man has the key to my heart.
Well... if you manage to have the guy at the party, I will consider to book the first flight available... :)
Just kidding, of course I'm not in for the gift card (too bad I don't have enough money to do crazy things like flying at the other side of the ocean for the weekend, 'cause I surely am "a lady in need of immediate assistance"...) but I wanted to tell you as well which part of the video I liked the most: it's the "shhht, trust me, I'm a professional" part. Too funny. I really loved also the leggings joke.
Thanks for these 2 minutes of pure beauty :)
Favorite part? DRINKING IT.
I'm down with a summer party because we're up in our place in Belleville/Greenwood Furnace that time of the year. PERFECT.
OMG the whole thing is awesome!
We are already coming up there in July so we'll just have to plan around the party...and so excited to see the house again and how far it will have come.
OMG fantastic! So I am a few months out of a LTR
and have a FWB arrangement with a smoking hot
firefighter. Ya know - as my "rebound man"?
I just texted him the link to this video lol.
He is so picking up a bottle of Sauza on his way
over tonight. Thanks for inspiring our own
little private party. ; )
Forgot to tell you my favorite part - "kittens
make everything better" lol.
The french speaking cat? That beautiful man using the word jeggings? Both awesome. Getting to go to a party in rural PA, well that sounds delightful too. Do your dogs speak french?
A kitty-saving fireman. Classic! I would seriously fly in for your summer party, that's how much I love your blog.
I read your mamapundit.com comment. You want creepy? Look in a mirror. You actually were PAID to critique the children of celebrities. Not the celebrities themselves--their KIDS. I can't believe a grown woman ever agreed to be paid to criticize strangers' children. Talk about creepy, junior high shit.
@anon - Dude, it's TOTALLY creepy. That's why I quit. That's right, I quit because writing about celeb kids (I never criticized) creeped me out. So what's your point? That we agree?
Also? You leaving the comment you just did in response to my defending a mom who lost her son (SHE LOST HER KID, NUMB NUTS, DOES THAT MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?) is the creepiest. Thanks for stopping by, loser. Go crawl back in your GOMI hole with Alice and the gang. I ain't over there checking your shit out so why don't you do me a favor and get off MY internets, yeah?
"add the light beer" with his shirt OFF! that was awesome!
The cat on the counter though grossed me out almost as much as ass wipe "anon" up there^.
And, yet, you freely admit you did it. You freely admit you took money to do it, apparently WHILE knowing it was a creepy, lowlife thing to do.
Does quitting mean that you never engaged in taking money to talk about other people's kids in the first place?
No. So don't be talking about 'creepy junior high shit' when you are ten times worse because you did YOUR creepy junior high shit to KIDS and for PAY.
*Sigh*. Oh my god, you are nuts but I guess I don't expect anything less from someone defending a website that picks on people, makes fun of people (and their children) and pretends it's a public service. Do you think if an adult Leta stumbles on GOMI she'll appreciate all the horrible things you people say about her "crazy, lesbian, pointy-chinned" mom? Which, by the way, after my house burned down I saw a shitty thread on GOMI (which linked to my blog which is how I learned about the site in the first place) where someone made fun of my "dirty little kids" so climb off your high horse about kids.
I wrote about how adorable celeb kids are. I didn't talk shit about them or pick on some celeb mom whose kid died, do you not see the difference? And still, I didn't even feel comfortable with that, with writing about an adorable kid and their celeb mom. Do I think that was "lowllife"? No. It took me a couple months to figure out writing about celebs and/or their kids ain't my thing and not something I'm comfortable with. So when is Alice Walker Wright going to come to her senses and realize her site is atrocious? You know, the site on which she has ads that support her picking on people, gossiping about people, LYING about people, bullying people, saying horrible things about people and kicking people while they're down, things she would never say to their face... It took me a couple months to realize I didn't like what I was doing, when is Alice going to realize what she's doing to people? Or is she addicted to the page views and fawning comments from idiots like you? But wait! Isn't that what she accuses Heather Armstrong of? The whole think is so stinky and hypocritical.
Now, this little exchange with you is bordering on junior high shit so maybe go back to your GOMI playground now and talk all the shit about me you want there and know that I NEVER read it because what you and your pal Alice say is insignificant to me. So again, get off MY internets. I'm not interested.
By the way, I wish I was pretty.
If you give a troll a comment...
I am babysitting my grandsons Saturday night so my daughter and son-in-law can go out to celebrate their anniversary. Otherwise, I would have made the drive out there.
My favorite part was when my almost 4 year old daughter said, "I love that! Let's watch it again!"
Ok honey, we will. Because I'm a great mom.
That video is the best, love the kitten in beret best...just kidding, love the hottie making the margarita. I am trying this recipe tonight but my hopes are not too high. I have mix as a back-up, lol.
The whole video was entertaining, but I kinda hope you "randomly" pick creepy anon for the giveaway, beat the shit out of him/her when they get there (figuratively, of course...or not), then blog about it.
A fuzzy kitty in a beret, or a grizzled hottie in suspenders OR....tequila! I'm not sure which one I'd pick but if I get picked for the drawing... I'll bring option #3 FO SHO! Love me some tequila!
Holy Mary Mother of God. I will now pull my head out of '50 Shades of Grey' and have this commercial on a constant loop. I have to say my favorite part is when he sympathizes with me about the pain that is high heels. See that? I've convinced myself that he's talking to me. And I talk back to him, and I caress him, and he loves me.
Wow...just wow. That guy is perfect (after my more perfect husband, of course). Favorite part, other than the whole thing? Has to be where he's looking at the camera and running his hand through his hair. *drool*
And don't worry about the GOMI's of the world - they're just wannabes who couldn't get others to read their shit so have to take it out on writers who CAN actually get people to read their shit. Total losers trying to make themselves feel better by putting down others....
kitty in a beret!
janet
ZOMG he kissed the kitty in the outtakes!! I think I just ovulated!!
Well I guess it's official. I am a certified prude, not only incapable of deriving the slightest bit of pleasure from gazing at a half-naked firemen, but I am actually embarrassed to the point of actually pulling away from the scene and averting my eyes. Whether it comes from having spent my the adulthood without having experienced much physical gratification and/or being subjected to way too personal handling of the appendages of hospitalized old geezers in need of catheterization. Either way...I would need to down a couple of shots of Suaza Tequila in order to suppress the urge to look away. Sad. Now chip and guac on the other hand...THAT I can stare at for HOURS.
It's the Double Whammy, what with the dude and then the adorable kitten. Anyway, aside from wanting the video to delve into NC17, I like, at the very end, when the kitten is sniffing the bottle... you know there's a tiny bit of Fancy Feast smeared on it, just at the level of kit-kit's nose. Cheers!
Made me some of them there margaritas over the wknd!! Waaaay good, better than the Oprah lemon sours I showed you a few years back. Now trying to find a life size poster of Mr.fancypants online.....
Fav part...when he shushes the kitten about the beer and tells him that it's okay, he is a professional.
Umm, me? Please? Can I enter as many times as I want? BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WILL DO THAT SHIT.
Kittens. Firemen. Everything is a favorite!
I hope you haven't already picked your winner! I've been on vacation and just read your last post, reminding me to post a comment!
My favorite part... the fireman is hot and when he pulls that cute little kitten out. Way too cute!
I've been reading your blog for years and would love to come to your party to meet you!
