Cheers to the weekend?

I know this is a bit pre-mature since it is only Thursday, but words can not begin to express my excitement for the upcoming weekend!  Why you ask?  What fabulous endeavor do I have in store?  Answer:  Absolutely NOTHING!  The hustle and bustle of this summer has taken it's toll, so kicking back at the beach this weekend with a cocktail in hand sounds FABULOUS to me... that is what summer's about right?
Here's my beverage of choice to aid in the relaxation process!

Tequila Sangria

Found it here

2 oranges

3 limes
