    This sounds really good.

  2. Laura J. says:

    Oooohhh, I have the halo. This could be a bad thing.

  3. Pamela Cayne says:

    Where’s the booze? There’s gotta be booze.

  4. Heidi says:

    First you guys ask if I have any non-alcoholic drink recipes, now you complain the booze is missing… In the words of Austin Powers’s Goldmember: Well, then, there is no pleasing you.

    Congrats on winning the halo, Laura. Don’t do anything with it that I wouldn’t do.

    Btw, if you haven’t already, you’ve gotta check out these two little treats:

    #1 — The video Darling Laura just posted to the Street Walker site: http://hbstreetteam.wordpress.com/ If this doesn’t get you in the mood for Zack & Grace’s story, nothing will.

    #2 — A funny from Mistress Heidi to her Darlings: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2010/01/03/funny-pictures-iz-pullin-me-in/

    LOVVVEEDD the green apple smirnoff! had it on Sat. night…wished i had 15 more just like it!!

  7. Laura J. says:

    There will be more. Just found another really, REALLY good one. Poor, poor Zack.

  8. Heidi says:

    Aren’t they delish, Hollie? And just so you know, you CAN have 15 of them, if you want…they come by the 6-pack & case.

    Not sure how I know that, unless it’s the fact that I’ve got one in my basement as we speak. (You get to guess which—the 6-back or case. )

  9. Debra Guyette says:

    Sounds like a very good drink. I am going to try it

  10. Dee says:

    The drink sounds awesome.

    I’m a bigger fan of the Strawberry Kiwi Smirnoff.

    I love the gift from Mistress Heidi.
