Red Velvet by Cupcake Winery

On Mother’s Day I decided to treat myself to a nice red wine. I have been stuck on white for quite a few months now and just needed to branch out. I’d had the Red Velvet by Cupcake Vineyards previously but didn’t get a chance to really enjoy it. We were chatting too much while I was getting my hair done at a friends house.

I know everyone loves it so I wasn’t going out on a limb that I’d regret buying it. Better safe than sorry when you are going for a treat. Who am I kidding? I’m a pansy and hate to waste money. I generally try something with friends before I’ll buy it. Hubby helps me branch out of that when we go shopping.

Pineapple Upside Down Martini

I threw an impromptu girls night last weekend with a couple of fire wives and found these fun drinks to make. They turned out amazing. Just be ware, they go down easy and with all the sugar you will get a headache in the morning if you drink too many lol

I liked this recipe because the ingredients were pretty inexpensive and it didn’t require very many. After a couple, hey I wasn’t driving, the sugar started melting down the glass and became pretty messy. lol So you may want to pay attention and keep coasters or napkins around to put the glasses on.

Runaway to Mom’s House

blogging on patio

I’ve had a rough couple of weeks with different random issues. Taking off for spring break to my in-laws house couldn’t have come at a better time.

Here I literally sit with not a care in the world. The financial issue I was having is now taken care of. Not that we are debt free but back to “normal”. Shit’s not hovering over my head just waiting to blow up like it was.

Snoqualmie Whistlestop Red 2008

Snoqualmie Whistlestop RedIt’s true that I’m not supposed to be drinking right now. But it was just one of those days. A day that just gets away from you and doesn’t stop. Not a bad day, not a good day, just a day that I’ve lost somewhere in time. So yes, I bought wine.  How predictable?
