MIA - Missing in Action?

I like to think that I've been MIA since October when I made my last post. I'll tell you what I've been up to:
Most of November was spent yachting in the Mediterranean, stopping only to go to beaches in Southern France and stock up on find champagne and baked goods. Thankfully, I managed to burn enough calories sunbathing and swimming during the day and then dancing under the moon at night to keep the pain-au-chocolat and other fine French pastries from settling on my thighs.
For December, I moved on to Italy, where I bought a fabulous new designer wardrobe, about fifty pairs of oversized sunglasses to keep out the glare of the paparazzi, and a small cockapoo named Francesca (I just call her Frannie or Frannie-poo).
Well, fine, those are the things I WISH I had been doing instead of adding to my blog. But they weren't. Really, I spent the holidays in town and didn't even do anything for New Years. I had wanted to go on one of those cruises, but wasn't organized enough so they were all sold out by the time I checked into it (admittedly, it was December 30th).
But the past is not important: the future is. And here I am, back, and ready to track down some great drinks for you. Happy New Year!
