I know it's been a long week, and even though you want to snuggle into a cocoon this Friday evening, I'd like you to do the following:
- Buy some good cheeses. I suggest three, a soft, semisoft, and hard cheese. Then pair up the cheese with some good crackers and salami.
- Call some friends - you know, the ones who always boost your spirits. Invite them over after work tonight.
- Prepare a nice cocktail. I suggest The Greasy Skillet's current favorite cocktail, a Pink Magnolia. This cocktail is a fresh, crisp drink that's perfect for renewing spirits
Tonight's about you reconnecting with what's important and reestablishing your own rhythm going into the weekend. I know you can muster enough energy to do this. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for others.

That sounds like a great idea, I think I'll do that, but my cocktail will have to be made with vodka 'cause I can't drink gin. Thanks for the drink recipe.
That looks very tasty right now.
I second your longing for spring. I think it is getting colder here everyday somehow.
