Special Lemonade

I know I haven't updated for a while -- mainly b/c i've been driving to work instead of taking the train. It got cold and I'd rather be in the car for 50 min than on the train for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. esp when gas is so cheap -- and i don't feel TOO badly b/c my car gets like 30 mpg during my way to and from work.

Anyhow. This morning, i stopped by the only 24/7 dinner in Jersey City... slash the financial area of Jersey City. It's called the Pink Flamingo. It's great for a quick meal. I've grabbed lunch there and was in and out in 20 min.... slash i spent more time inhaling my food than i did waiting for it to arrive. So this morning, I stopped by to get breakfast (I had to leave the house early to catch the train . haha)

As i'm waiting, a construction worker comes in. He's obviously the designated breakfast guy -- he orders a 5 breakfasts and 3 coffees... and then goes -- and 2 special lemonades. I"m thinking -- hm... it's early for lemonade, but wtvr. I won't judge. The waitress (slash owner?) takes two cups, puts ice in it. puts fountain lemonade... then reaches around the drink machine for the rum and pours probably like 5 oz of rum into each cup. and fills the rest with lemonade.

I'm sitting there trying not to burst out laughing in hysterics. wtf. 9am is WAY too early to be drinking lemonade and rum... I HOPE i never get to fed up with my job that I need to start off my day with "special lemonade"

But it might not be bad for an after work special.... (when i'm not driving home)
