Who are the Chardonnay drinkers here? I’m heading to the liquor store to get a couple bottles for a Chardonnay challenge we are going to tonight. What’s good?? I’m a red drinker usually. tgrimes, wineallthetime I tend to pick wines by the label. Think pretty colors or funny brand name. Even if the wine isn't great, it's a good conversation piece! I'm also cheap and tend to not spend more than $10 per bottle.

mwhip, I love to go by labels too, but this is a blind challenge so all the bottles stay in a bag kim22 our friends are big into wine so they do “challenges” once in a while where everyone brings a bottle of a specific wine, leaves it in the paper bag and then we do a taste test and score the wines. By the end, everyone is just drunk so scores don’t mean much.. Haha! But there is no spending requirement so some people bring $10 wine and some brings $50 and it’s interesting to see what the rankings are. There are going to be about 16 people there... so that’s a lot of wine. I will be hungover.

Just left my nephews party. It went surprisingly well. I'm so glad we went. He's the sweetest boy and I'm so glad we were there to see his birthday. Sil hugged me goodbye and it wasn't tense so I feel good about things. I know it will take time for friendship but I'm so grateful the tension is gone. My dad looks like 100 pounds have been lifted from his shoulders.

TW That so sad wineallthetime. For us, when baby O passed away (I wasn’t at the hospital at the time but we went a few days before and said our goodbyes) we were so oblivious to anything going on around us at the hospital. It’s such a hard thing to go through as an aunt, I couldn’t imagine losing my own child that way. Speaking of baby O, the anniversary of his death is coming up in a couple weeks. It’s crazy to realize that it’s been that long already. ETA: realized I should maybe put a trigger warning on this.

I’m a red drinker usually. tgrimes, wineallthetime Mmm, chardonnay. I want to go to a chardonnay challenge! I'm probably too late, but I like cheap wine so I'm probably no help. I rarely meet a chard I don't like.

She’s not been looking at fb because they do “on this day” and show things from a year ago. Her family is leaving next Friday for a week to go to AZ to see my dad and get away during his “angelversary” as she calls it.

C didn’t nap today so we ended up at the arcade and out to dinner. My stomach has been a mess since my recent surgery so I just came home and ran to the bathroom. Since Dh is already in the swing of bedtime routine I decided to stay upstairs and color my hair. Crazy Saturday night!
I did have a good conversation with Dh about how turbulent the past couple of months have been and I feel disconnected. So we got a sitter next Saturday to reconnect and my parents are taking C tomorrow morning. He will miss Ninja this week but we both need a break with all the traveling, illness, and surgery stuff. Plus I leave the day after Easter for New Orleans for a week so we need to take advantage.

I can’t imagine how painful this is for all of you. Make sure to take care of yourself as best you can. This is one of those things that sneaks up on you.

S woke up yesterday with a fever, woke up today with no fever and had been fine all day, but just before bed it came back. I also noticed her attitude had gone downhill earlier. So I shouldn’t be surprised by the return of the fever.
I went to the store today to grocery shop. I had to get stuff for my parents because they will be staying with S Wednesday-Friday while I’m gone for my surgery. Then I will be on a liquid diet for a week so I had to buy all the soup, jello, pudding, and yogurt I could. Oh, and Ensure. I’m not supposed to have chocolate so I got vanilla everything...which doesn’t thrill me.
Now I’ve been purging the cabinets, getting rid of stuff that’s been in there forever. Also trying to get caught up on laundry and housework. Now that I’m back to work I don’t have all the free time in the world to do this stuff.

slenle Sorry! My tapa notifications aren’t working. We used to do vodka parties like this. Everyone would be soooooo drunk. Next time you have a challenge for chardonnays (pricey to cheaper): Jordan, Chalk Hill, Meiomi, or La Crema.
