Make sure you write "drink wine" on your to do list Antoinette, then you'll know you've accomplished something.

Well ladies and gentlemen we have a lot to do this week. It's going to be a Huuuuuuuuge week for wine drinking. (Sorry about that ladies and gentlemen crack...didn't mean to pretend there is only an x and y chromosome and leave out the LGBTQRSVP chromosomes... don't want to be a science denier). Let's check the schedule.

Manic Monday: No taking it slow just because it's the start of the week. Did Abe Lincoln warm up to the week? Did my grandma? No! Like both Abe and my grandma used to say, "Do sharks complain about Monday? No they're up early biting stuff, chasing s#%t, being scary- reminding everyone they're an F'ing shark!" Time to attack Monday with teeth bared and pinkie finger extended while you sip on your wine to celebrate Abe and my grandmother's birthday. It's also National Clean Out Your Computer Day... recently renamed What Happened Day! You might want to tidy up your computer files before drinking wine... otherwise no telling where you might end up!🥂. W.O.D. Mouvedre.
Fat Tuesday (renamed Mardi Gras because fat shaming sounds better in French): Time to sow your wild oats and reap the product of the vine. Tomorrow you'll have to give up your oats, just make sure to protect your wine. Start Mardi Gras off with a bang🌋🍾🙈🎉, then pour yourself some wine while doing some self examination of the wrongs you need to right and the bad habits you need to kick. I suggest giving up Fireballs, hysterical screeds, Twitter rants, hyper sensitivity to statues and words, and socialism.  I personally am giving up tofu and Star Wars movies. I also resolve to do better in the future and be healthier by drinking more wine! W.O.D. Petit Verdot (little offsets the fat) 
Hump Day: (Hay miercoles... good timing for VD though problematic! In a twist of fate, VD happens to fall on the first day of Lent, a day meant for mankind to wean itself from sin and selfishness through self denial! I suggest getting around this by going Dutch! However, if you interpret this to mean going to Amsterdam I have a couple travel tips... green lights still mean go, but Red Lights (there's a district there, 🙊) mean you're going to need a safe word... maybe that's what covfefe stands for!🤔Remember, when giving up worldly pleasures for Lent...be prudent...only give up things that are bad for you, which leaves wine and 😘 safe. W.O.D. Champagne of course!
Thirsty Thursday: Well you know why your drinking today... it's National Singles Awareness Day!  Otherwise known as the Lonely Hearts Wine Drinking Club. Start pouring the vino if you didn't get any VD love yesterday, or if you're newly single because you suggested going Dutch on VD, or if you survived VD in tact but you just want to share in somebody else's wine...I think that covers everyone. W.O.D. Tempranillo to soothe the ouch! 
TGIF: Time to start crowing and ring in NYAS! (New Year's Asian Style) The year of the Rooster has come and gone and the Dog days of 2018 are upon on us. Of course that means it's gonna be a good year because everyone loves dogs. You don't get labeled man's best friend for nothing. Just like wine it doesn't matter if you're purebred (single varietal) or a mutt (blend) as long as you're there providing companionship and comfort.  And since it's Friday and we have the weekend let's do 2 wines to honor purebred and mutt. W's.O.D. Barolo and a Super Tuscan. Make the Year of the Dog a great one. And maybe learn something from our furry friends and wine... more dogs and more wine = more amity. I think it's time for a vacay and go somewhere to figure out how to make this year better...maybe somewhere along the Florida/Georgia Line

May we all do a little bit better than the first time
Learn a little something from the worst times
Get a little stronger from the hurt times
May we all get to have a chance to ride the fast one
Walk away wiser when we crashed one
Keep hoping that the best one is the last one
Yeah you learn to fly and if you can't then you just free-fall

May we all...
