I’ve been thirsty for a Margarita… for the last couple weeks! I have the makings for it- Limeade, Tequila, Triple Sec and ice- CHECK! And I’ve made it now a couple times- just as I have always made it and loved it. The problem is it doesn’t taste right. It’s too sweet, too tart, too “not hitting the spot.” I think I want what the Margarita stands for… relaxation, no cares, freedom, tranquility, contentedness… everything that is seemingly lacking in my life right now.

And I think of an interview with Lucy Lawless that I read years and years ago. She talked about how difficult it was filming the TV Show Xena. She said she would find herself wet and muddy, freezing her ass off, wearing only a breast plate and a leather miniskirt and somehow trying to believably command a chariot. And she would just repeat to herself, “This too shall pass, this too shall pass.”

This too shall pass.

Okay, enough self pity from me. This is it. The whine stops here!
