Something to "wine" about

Thank God it's Friday! This has been the week from hell. The boys have had 3 dental appointments all on separate days right in the middle of my deadline week at work. (I'm not very good with planning) I'm so exhausted. I can't wait to come home from work today, kick off my shoes and sit down on the couch with a huge glass of wine and just say "ahhh"

Speaking of wine. How many of you are wine connoisseurs? I really like wine. I use to be a strictly white Zinfandel drinker, but I finally expanded into chardonnays, pinot grigio and now Merlot. I've tried lots of brands (mainly grocery store brands) but I found a couple I really like. My favorite Merlot is Robert Mondavi private selection, California. I like Cavit's pinot grigio and I found a very inexpensive Chardonnay called Bohemian Highway. ($7.99) It's light, not very dry and goes with anything or just good for sitting and sipping. If I could afford the higher brands, I would try them. I use to go to wine tastings when we had them here locally, but now I have to go down town if I want to do that and I've become quite the homebody. Maybe with the nice cooler weather I'll head down there and enjoy myself.

Cheers!

I love wine tastings! I'm fortunate to live near the Finger Lakes wine trails. My tastes tend to run toward the semi-sweet and slowly settling into the dry. But not too dry! My favorite is Reisling in these brands: Relax, Dr. Loosen, and Twisted River. I think they all range in price from $8-14. I just can't bring myself to spend more than that!

Well, my friend, sorry you had such a crazy week. You deserve that glass of wine! Enjoy, relax and unwind. Or should I say unwine...lol. Have a lovely weekend!

Justin actually had a surprise Birthday dinner for me this past June at a wine vineyard in Calera. It was great. We should have a girls lunch and go. It was great!

T'was the Day before Christmas

It was the night (actually day) before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring to help mama clean, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes that someone who would help clean would soon be there The teenagers were nestled all snug in their beds while mama cooked, cleaned and slaved needing her meds And mama in her "kerchief" (WTF?) and dirty dishes in the sink I hoped for a miracle or at least a stiff drink! When out of nowhere there arose such a clatter I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter Down the hall I flew in a flash opened the door with a smash When what to my wondering eye should appear but two fighting teenagers over xbox and their gear I screamed out loud and moved so lively and quick and said there will be no presents from St. Nick! I've had it with you two They'll be no more fighting I'm through! More rapid that eagles their chores came I shouted them out by name Clean toilets, clean

Big Fat Loser

Okay, I know I suck. I haven't written hardly anything in weeks. My adoring fans (all 3) have probably deserted me by now. Well..... I'm back! It finally stopped raining so I can come out and play. The depression has lifted (almost) and I am feeling better. Thanks for the kind comments. I do have some good news. I have lost 6 1/2 pounds in a week and half! Yay !!! Shout it from the rooftops! I am. Really, I stood on my roof and shouted; "I lost 6 1/2 pounds!" Shortly after that some little men in white coats showed up at my house and tried to carry me away.... No really, I am excited about the weight loss. My secret? There's not one. I started counting calories and doing a little (and I do mean a little) bit of walking on the treadmill and of course the Wii -Fit! (I got a great work out with by lifting it and moving it around every time I needed to dust or vacuum) I have been going to my doctor's appointments. Today was the Gastronolgist visit. I
