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!
