There are very few things that could interrupt my wine journey. One of them happens to be surgery. And unfortunately, I had to have it. It was nothing too major, but major enough to put me in the hospital overnight. Without being too cryptic, it was girlie surgery, and I will be home for 4 to 6 weeks.
For the next couple of days, I will be on a lovely narcotic pain reliever and since I do fancy myself to be a semi-responsible adult, I don't think I will mix it with wine.
On the bright side, I expect to be back in the wine saddle in a few days. This of course can mean only one thing - I will absolutely have to blog on 2 bottles next week to get caught up.
My daughter has a co worker she refers to as "The Boston Qualifier". He told her he was disappointed that I was only going to blog on 1 wine per week. Indicating something along the lines of my having poor wine stamina. Seriously?? I'm 5'3" and weigh in at 120. I think one bottle a week is plenty. But, then again there is always room to improve! So even though I've never met the man, I'm dedicating next week to him. Here's 2 for you Mr Boston Qualifier!!!
I'm feeling a white coming on, and maybe a sparkling. Ahhh, the joys of being home for 4 to 6 weeks - so many wines, so little time.
Little Miss Vino,
ReplyDeleteFirst, let me say I hope your recovery is quick and you get “back in the saddle again” soon.
Now, I feel clarification of my “disappointment” in the quantity aspect of your journey is in order. Your daughter told me about your blog and sent the link to check it out; which I did. When she asked what I thought about your blog, I told her I liked it but your first posting confused me. You put forth the challenge of 52 bottles in 52 weeks but your blog site indicates your goal is a “52-week journey to try as much wine as possible” (yes, I know your daughter created that). You also talked about wishing you had the stamina to go for 365 bottles on the journey, which added to my confusion. Bottom line, whether it’s 52 bottles of wine or 365 bottles of wine (or something in between) your journey is an admirable one and I look forward to reading more!
By the way, 5’3” and 120 pounds has probably never stopped you from doing anything else you wanted to do in life; so it really is a lousy excuse :o)
