Alcohol and Christmas go together like peanut butter and jelly

Jimmy Fallon - Drunk On Christmas lyrics

Christmas is a time
Special time of year
To peace and joy and happiness
Wonderment to hear

Opening your present underneath the tree
Spending countless hours with your family

That's why I'm drinking drinking drinking... 
I'm going to drink all day
I'm going home for christmas
And my family insane

Just got to make it through the day
And there is no other way
I'm going to get drunk drunk drunk on Christmas

Can't be sobor when I'm over
Everyone's bipolar
So cut the crap and get some jack
And put it in my soda
And make it strong enough to put a reindeer in a coma

I'm getting drunk drunk drunk on Christmas

I'm heading home for the holiday season
Not done



Lyrics | Jimmy Fallon lyrics - Drunk On Christmas lyrics

knowledge is power

I created a Pinterest board exclusively for this blog.  Sometimes it is simply easier to pin to the board rather than create a blog post.  I'm sure you understand.

At this stage of the game, I'm more about ease and comfort than making everyone else happy.

homemade wine

When I think of homemade wine, a couple of images come to mind.  One of which is Lucy and Ethel stomping the vat of grapes.


The other image is a strange combination of the following images but the common denominators include a container of some sort and fruit.






After all that... wouldn't it be nice to enjoy a nice chilled glass of wine while soaking in the tub pictured below? :)

nice plastic

This is my kind of wine glass.  It is first and foremost advertised as unbreakable plastic, it is classic in design and has a sturdy looking base, and it is dishwasher safe.  BPA-free is especially nice.

I found this gem of a glass after first searching Pinterest for "unbreakable wine glass" and not liking the quality of my first selected image.  I clicked through the links and discovered that it linked to Amazon.  I searched there and found this beauty.  Yes, I much prefer the visual appeal of this image over the other.  Both images were of the same general item.
Clarus Unbreakable Plastic 12 Oz. Wine Glass (Each) by Clarus
  • Unbreakable
  • Dishwasher Safe (top rack, regular or normal cycles only, no heated dry cycle)
  • BPA-Free

If I had an over-abundance of cabinet space or if I was just starting out with my first place OR replacing everything, I'd probably purchase several of these nifty "glasses".  I believe that a couple of these unbreakable wine glasses and a nice bottle {or box} of wine would be a much welcomed "welcome to your new home" gift.

hunting season


My loving husband is an avid hunter.  He gifted me with a similar pair of camo yoga pants last year.

seven days ago

my complimentary glass of Chianti @ Olive Garden on Valentine's Day 2013

A week ago, my loving husband took our daughter and I out for a nice dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day.  We weren't the only ones there by a long shot.  We were told that it would be an hour and forty-five minutes before we would be seated.

Yes, a one hundred and five minute wait for supper after an hour drive to the restaurant.  We waited because... well, we really wanted Olive Garden.

I noticed a guy {Olive Garden employee} offering wine tasting to the left of the hostesses.  After we found a place to sit {very crowded}, I made a bee-line for him and asked him if he could make a recommendation.  He asked me if I preferred red or white, sweet or dry... I said red and that I wasn't sure about the sweet or dry option.

He offered Chianti and it was so tasty that I went back for seconds.  *wink*

By the time we were finally seated, I ordered a full glass of Chianti.  I discovered that Chianti is definitely a sipping wine {at least for me}.  My hubby tried to encourage me to sip faster after the dessert was served because our waitress was hovering.  I ended up leaving wine on the table because I couldn't gulp it down quick enough.

NOTE: My two freebies were no where close to being even half full.  Definitely tasters.

crafty and unique

These particular yoga pants are no longer available on Etsy but they are nifty. 

Looks like the maker recycled tshirts... 

I wouldn't attempt making your own version of these pants while drinking wine but using those tshirts in your closet that you never wear and your handy dandy serger... You can make your very own pair of custom yoga pants.

Depending on your skill level, no one will doubt that ya enjoy wine.  *wink*

always


I do believe that I am going to make time tonight for a nice, large glass of Sangria wine.

corks recycled


The evening after Valentine's Day and you spy empty bottles of wine in the trashcan.  Several corks remain on the kitchen counter..

You aren't quite sure what to do with the corks...  Throwing them away {again} seems wasteful...

A crafty project using the spoils of your recent wine party?  Yes!

Be careful using a sharp object while whittling the cork away into your chosen message.  Don't do this immediately after consuming multiple bottles of wine and probably not the day after either.  *wink*

red wine spritzer


Sangria with Sprite has been my go-to drink while fixing supper for just over a year now.  I progressed to just Sangria over time but this drink sounds intriguing. 

Red wine + flavored sparkling water with fresh fruit.  Sounds like summer to me. 

Of course, it is just February but it *is* summer somewhere.  Right?

Click through for the recipe.

Honestly, I own two pair of yoga pants as of this moment in time.  I wish that I owned more.  I really do.  It's on the list.  *promise*

I'm actually planning on wearing my yoga pants on the plane, which is the #1 place that it is okay to wear my favorite leg covering.

Where do you wear your yoga pants?
