Why in the hell is National Mimosa Day on a Tuesday? Couldn’t these National holiday schedule guys roll it on the second or third Sunday of May? Do it like the Pilgrims and Indians when they planned Thanksgiving. That Thursday in November idea seems to have worked well all these years.
I grew up a Bloody Mary guy. The spicier the better. The more ornamental eats hanging off the glass, the better. You’d never catch me at a pregame tailgate with a mimosa. Bears game day…. Give me a Bloody and a can of Old Style.
Then into the new millennium I started dating a girl whose mom introduced me to these orange juice cocktails for brunch.
“ Can I wear my Walter Payton jersey to brunch on Sunday?”
“Please don’t John…..”
So began the mimosa era in my life. Oh I still have an occasional Bloody Mary, but the simplicity of a mimosa is so refreshing.
I actually made this same lady a mimosa on Mother’s Day. Freshly squeezed oranges and some Prosecco. She was happy to see that she made a lasting impression. Making today’s Chalkboard quote more clear….
Back to Mimosa Day falling on a Tuesday. I’m not sure my boss would be too happy if I had a couple mimosas before the trading day gets busy.
Might not go over to well if I sell when I’m supposed to buy. I wouldn’t be able to afford Hazel’s Saturday night steak if I’m standing in the unemployment line.
I’m gonna move National Mimosa Day to this coming Saturday, May 20th.
I’m gonna make it where you can wear your Walter Payton jersey. If you where a Brett Favre jersey we will give you a Vicodin. If you wear a Dick Butkus or Ray Nitschke jersey, you’ll get a beer and a shot.
No way would 51 or 66 be caught with a mimosa in their grizzly paws.
