I’ll Drink to That!

Today is Friday which means that it is…

CHAMPAGNE FRIDAY!!!

About 6 years ago I began a Friday tradition where after work I would unwind with a nice, big glass of wine to get the weekend started right.  In the beginning, it was all about socializing with others and I only ever did it if people were over.  But, that was during the time in my life when I never did anything alone – I was too frightened.  I got over that after I realized that if I always needed someone else to do stuff with that I would spend my life waiting.  So wait no more and drink I will….with or without you!

Over the years, I’ve gone through so many wine phases….only red…only white….a six pack of Two Buck Chuck a week…drink enough to numb the pain….etc.  Over the past year or so (maybe longer who knows?) I’ve been in an Almond Champagne phase.  I mean, it’s absolutely delicious and cheap too (only $5.99 at Trader Joe’s).  So Cocktail Friday turned into Champagne Friday and recently I figured out that if you add cranberry cocktail concentrate that you can turn a glass of almond champagne into a fruity drink of heaven!

So here’s to the week end….cheers!

    Hi there….I agree with you totally my lady friend. I’ve added raspberry wine to mine. Almond champagne has always been my favorite. Cheers to you every Friday.. Luv ya Lennie

    I had to show this to Lennie and of course as a sometimes participant over the yeas, I really enjoyed it too.
    I absolutely love She’s Come Undone. Best page turner all year with a great message and lots of accurate and vivid detail. It’s probably just as well I didn’t meet the person who didn’t like the subject matter as I can get pretty worked up sometimes.
    Love also

    Aw….thanks for stopping by Lennie! It was such a nice surprise to read your comment. And if we lived closer I know that we would enjoy Champagne Friday together.

    I super enjoyed She’s Come Undone too! It was disturbing and frustrating in parts, which I think adds to the value of the read. It all came together at the very end for me. It wasn’t until I had finished the entire book that I could see the main character as a hero. Oh, and I have this theory that she was pregnant in the end – a total stretch, but one that makes me feel better about the world :~)

    *HUGS* to you both!

    Love ~
