So it’s Friday, my most favorite day of the week. Why favorite? Friday equals post-bedtime weekly manicure and take-out sushi for dinner. Man, I look forward to Friday all week long. Also on Friday? I have a glass (or two) of wine. I’ve been trying to abstain all week and only drink on the weekends, and that’s been going pretty well. I like to make exceptions, though - I’ll have a mid-week drink if I’m not at home. For example, I met Krista for dinner on Monday night and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to order a martini. I hadn’t had a martini since probably oh, October or so and it definitely knocked me on my ass. Cheap date. Anyway, last night I found myself ogling our wine rack, trying to decide which bottle I’d open tonight. Mr. P does the wine shopping and he likes to buy mixed cases. In so doing, he usually throws in a few bottles we haven’t yet tried. I’ve got it narrowed down to a Columbia Valley cab and an old reliable Rhone red. It’s 8:41am and I’m already thinking about wine!
I think I can best sum up my love for Fridays by acknowledging that Friday night is grown-up time to do grown up things like get your nails done and drink wine. You really can’t argue with that.
I’m also seriously considering doing this sometime really soon. I remember talking about going to Let’s Dish after I had Charlotte. I never ended up doing it, because I quickly realized that going to the grocery store was the most manageable daily outing for me and Charlotte, and having a bunch of prepared meals in the freezer would have precluded me from doing that. And that would have been ugly. But now, I’d rather spend my afternoons taking walks with my daughter or doing something more fun than say running around the grocery store, trying to figure out what I’ll need to cook dinner each night.
I don’t know about you local gals, but there’s a Let’s Dish in Burlington, and the March menu looks pretty interesting. I think I’m going to do the 4-meal choice. Basically, each meal serves 6 people, so that’s a lot of food. You can split it with a friend, too, which I think is genius. I’m going to sign up pretty soon, and I think you should come with me.
Okay. I need to get to work, but I’ll probably pop in later. I put up a new madras shower curtain last night and I bet you’ll want to know all about it!
