My drinking club was called Book Club. We met at the bar every Wednesday at 6pm.

My weather-ish related FFFC: I have a crush on Jim Cantore. The only thing I like about hurricane season is that I get to see his face on my tv. He is a sexy ass weatherman. Girl, yes.

With a heavy emphasis on the wine. My book club has a journal that we’ve kept for 14 years, it has location, book read, attendance, menus and lots of drunken notes and splatters on it. Every year or so we read through it and it’s a hilarious recap. I may have to steal this. That's an awesome tradition.

I hate touching the garden hose. Especially when you go to roll/wind it up. Its really gross feeling.

I haven’t really read so far yet, but wanted to contribute my embarrassing confession.
Yesterday a series of factors led to me leaving work slightly early. Not any real damage or anything that anyone else would have noticed but me, but....
I sneezed very hard, very unexpectedly, with a moderately full bladder, mid- stride going upstairs. 😳

I love Jim Cantore! And his excitement and obsession with weather is hilariously adorable. Have you ever seen his montage of freak outs over thunder snow? I laugh every time.

I know this to be true because of Hamilton. Which is also how you know he wasn’t president, right? Excuse me, I knew the requisite things about Hamilton before the musical: something something friends with Washington, something something Treasury Secretary, blah blah blah, shot by Aaron Burr. Later: $10 bill guy. #APhistory

My retainer was yellow with purple paw prints because those were my school colors and our mascot was a bobcat. So original.

I've fully engulfed myself into the spiral of hashtag games on Twitter. Such a nerd. But it can be fun.
If you would have told me this months ago I would have been like ew@twitter.

I still watch BBT. I haven’t picked up many new shows over the last couple years, so I just stick with the old ones, until they are all eventually canceled. I’m sad that The Middle ended. I don’t think that’s a confession, but I don’t know anyone in real life that watched it. Hi, I don’t usually post here but I just have to say I loved The Middle. It was such a good show and made me lol many times. I’m curious about the possible spin off. Also, I really enjoy Neil Flynn.

You're welcome! Live anywhere near South Western Ontario? Nope. 2000+ miles is a bit too far for books for me. My recipe! 1) make friends with boozy ladies 2) suggest you start a book club Each month a couple people get put on snack duty, a couple people get put on wine duty. It's been a great way to get exposed to wines outside my wine profile. I know what I like, it's expensive and old country(ish). Because of book club I have learned all the ways of NZ sauvignon blanc (that isn't Kim Crawford) and it's been wonderful. It''s been a NZ tasting spree!!

I feel so much better that there are other people who share my weird cotton ball aversion thing.

When you are in the eye of the storm it's really not that bad if you're in a good structure. It's really weird and spooky. I know this to be true because of Hamilton. President Hamilton?

Barring a medical issue I guess I don't get the glasses preference. Like the never wants to wear anything but glasses. Contacts are so much better on so many levels.

I love my glasses, they are cute AF. My contacts start bothering me late afternoon and I love taking them out and putting on my glasses. It’s almost as satisfying as taking off my bra.

Confession, I’m oddly attracted to Alex Trebek now that he has a beard.

Can’t handle the idea of putting something in my eye. I'd put up with anything rather than wear glasses. I hated them (for me). Lasik for the win; seriously the best thing I've ever done.

ETA - I say this because I had the same issue and went to a contact specialist and tried a new brand and now no issues whatsoever.
