Every single week....

I ask myself, while rushing to make my "deadline", what in the hell I am doing writing this blog. I mean, I turn down actual invitations to things on Thursday mornings. "No, sorry, I gotta get my blog out in time".  So here I am, folks, another week, more good stuff, I hope. Otherwise, what the fuck am I doing here?

What's to drink....

Oh man, you guys, this is a special one. I've only had it twice in my life, but both times I was blown away by how smooth and delicious this cab tastes. The only little problem is that it's about $42 a bottle. So, it's not an every day wine, unless you're some kinda baller housewife, and if you are, let me know, so we can be friends, and I can come over and drink this with you on the daily. In the meantime, I am trying to figure out ways to justify buying a bottle here and there. Things I have come up with so far...

1. I have not yelled today (I'll never get to drink the wine again)

2. I have not cried today (I have a better shot than the yelling but still doubtful)

3. I will appreciate this wine so much more than the usual shit I drink (I think I'm getting somewhere with this one)

4. Red wine IS good for your heart, so this fancy-will-make-you-broke-wine probably has some kinda super powers (sounds reasonable)

5. Some day I will be dead (by far the most compelling of the arguments) 

For real, treat yourself and try this one. If you need justification, please refer to #5. It pertains to you, too. Cheers!

What's to eat....

We do skirt steak in my house quite often, but I've upped my game with this one. I was having company over for dinner, and wanted to make things a little less run of the mill, so I added a chimichurri sauce to the steak. It was a big hit, as was the wine (dinner party with brother-in-law and future sister-in-law make justification list for fancy wine). Anyway, try this simple, but really fresh, and yummy recipe out. Side note, I dated a guy whose family is from Argentina. I think this would have made them proud. Tommy is super stoked about that, I'm sure.

Working on my should I just drop the fitness part....

of this blog. I mean, each week I think I should be writing about fitness but fitness isn't really fun(ny), except if we want to discuss things such as peeing your pants whilst jumping rope. And I'm not even going NEAR the discussion of the passing gas thing in yoga. I don't take yoga for that reason. Well, not that reason alone, but the thought of being in a room with a bunch of contorted farting people is basically my worst fucking nightmare. And hot yoga? So you're in the heat, and people are doing this, in the hot, and now STINKY heat? Yeah, no thanks, I'm all set. I'm sorry, you guys are fucking animals. But I digress, maybe I'll just keep the fitness part in for good measure, in case a good story comes along here and there, AND to make me look like less of an eating-and-drinking-all-the-time-animal. I do exercise, people. I can't start drinking that early in the morning, so I may as well. 

Wishing you ALL of the Good Stuff.

P.S. What in the shit with getting ready for a beach vacation?? I've busted my ass this week, spent a gazillion dollars (still trying to justify getting a bottle of that wine, though), I have lists on lists on lists, and still so much left to do. BUT at the end of it all, awaits the beautiful beaches of Long Beach Island, where I will sit on my ass, and be waited on, hand and foot, all week long. Oh wait, that last part isn't going to happen. Kudos to all the Moms out there, busting your asses for your families, so they can enjoy a vacation, while you do all their laundry and clean up all their shit. Is it cocktail hour, yet.
