Long walks at Zilker Park and half priced slushies at Sonic. I could get used to this.

At least I wish I could get used to this. We all know I’m too high-strung to stay home for any length of time. It’s been two weeks, and I’m itching to get busy.

When we arrived at our new home in Texas this weekend, I had the most fabulous “welcome” gift waiting for me…samples of Aloe Cadabra. A little lube to help christen a new home is always appreciated!

lubeAloe Cadabra comes in three delightful fragrances – Natural, French Lavender, and Tahitian Vanilla. All three fragrances are soft and subtle, smelling vaguely of the fresh scent of aloe, and have a pleasurable smooth and silky texture. The Tahitian Vanilla is my favorite – scented with essential oil, it’s slightly sweet and totally fresh smelling.

Aloe Cadabra is natural, environmentally friendly, and edible – the perfect “green” personal lubricant! These lubes are made from certified organic aloe vera, no petrolum of synthetics, making it suitable for liberal use with condoms and toys. Aloe vera is also great for girlie bits – it’s naturally soothing and pH balanced to vaginal pH to keep naturally occurring lactobacilli happy and healthy.

  • I can’t casually throw “ya’ll” into a conversation without sounding like a fool.
  • Texans may walk slow and talk slow, but they drive like f-bomb maniacs. I fear for my life on the way to The Heb.
  • It’s not called The Heb. It’s H.E.B. People will laugh at you if you say it wrong.
  • When you order a “Coke” the waitress doesn’t ask “what kind.” She will ask if you’d prefer a Dr. Pepper.
  • The left lane is not for left turns. It’s for U-turns. Which comes in extremely handy when I’m being tailgated so fiercely that I can’t slow down to make the previous exit.
  • Homeslice Pizza isn’t open on Tuesdays, which is all kinds of bullshit.
  • Weed really must be available in abundance at UT since I was mistaken for a college student at the bookstore.

How do you know when you’ve had too many drinks? Do you get the giggles? Want to arm wrestle the bartender? Get a tad too enthusiastic on the dance floor? The Heineken Know The Signs website has defined several categories of the “over-served,” including The Crier, The Fighter, The Sleeper, The Exhibitionist, The Groper (we call this person ‘Captain Cuddles’), The Flirt, and The Stumbler. The Breathalyzer 4 320x480

The Heineken Breathalyzer iPhone app is a humorous way find out what kind drinker you and your friends are, while advocating responsible drinking and knowing the signs of over consumption. It’s not preachy or full of scare tactics – it takes the approach that we all know about responsible drinking, we just need a reminder, so why not make it light-hearted and interactive?

Get your friends to blow into your iPhone like a real breathalyzer (this may take a couple of Heinekens to convince them of) and the app will display which character they are, while reminding them of the signs of intoxication. It’s sure to ignite lots of story-telling and even a few characters of your own!

Download the Heineken Breathalyzer iPhone app the next time you’re getting ready for a night out with friends. It’s free, funny, and just might keep you out of trouble.

Our moving pods were delivered today and nearly everything we own is packed, loaded, and ready to start its journey to Texas. In the middle of the chaos, I got a very peculiar Tweet.
