Rum o'clock, beer-thirty and wine forty-five all have passed

Bummer start to a weekend.

Boo!  FI usually works Fridays (evenings), and I'm trying to not spend money.  Luckily, after checking the fridge, I did find some yummy beer.

Nooooo! If it wasn't illegal, I would mail you wine. Express.

DH will be home in a few hours.  I guess I will just have to wait.  

I do have a really, really nice Bordeaux.  It's too nice to drink without DH.

I have a really, really nice Cab Franc that I'd love to drink without FI because I know I appreciate it more, but I'll refrain haha

Well DH really likes Bordeaux.  Plus the guy who gave it to us is really a client of DH's.   Would be mean to open it without him.    I will save it for when (if) he gets the job offer.

ETA - stupidity

Hmm alright. In this scenario, I approve of sharing the wine haha

DH's friend gave us a very nice pinot noir for Christmas. DH is making me wait to share it with him.

I am not a fan of waiting.

ETA: fix auto correct for spelling mistake because my smartypants phone doesn't recognise wine names.

Sharing means caring, ladies. We all get points for waiting

I like wine. I'll pretty much drink anything that's decent…but if I had my druthers (and a shit ton of money), I'd definitely be a wine snob. We had a 1987 Mondavi Reserve Cab for Christmas and poor FI was feeling well so only had a glass. Might maybe (not) have felt bad for enjoying the rest

Sendin' y'all a virtual glass ~ cheers!

I knew nothing about wine until I spent a year working for a winery when I was 19. I learned so much and fell in love with wine and never looked back.

I try not to be a snob about it, but it's difficult at times because I really know what I like and what I don't. There are times when I wish I could go back to $9 bottles of wine and think they were great, but I just can't bring myself to do it haha. I also cringe when FI says, "They all taste the same." I'm slooooowly educating his palate

My FI won't buy us a bottle tonight Something about him having to work tomorrow morning...

@vollebell Whaaaaa?? But YOU don't have to work in the morning, right?

Oh God, after having dinner with my mother, I need an industrial sized bottle of tequila. I swear, I have no idea how I turned out so "normal"...

lyndausvi

Well DH came home, we went to the local dive bar (a block away) and have a few drinks. It was nice, we talked about the potential new job.  Basically a nice break from the normal day-to-day.

Hope everyone had a nice Friday night.

I feel guilty I started drinking with a former coworker at noon. I'm also horrible at waiting on wine if its in the house I will drink it. FI bought a dr bottles last weekend and hid them for our future at home date nights or I will finish them while doing dishes.
