House Wine

You know the weekends you need a weekend from? I feel like this past weekend is one of those times.  Matt's friends were in town and even though I did not go partying into the wee hours of the morning with them - hosting is utterly exhausting.  I would love to tell you of all the randomness that occurred this weekend but I think it is for your best interest I don't.  I'll just say there was a lot of beer, ruby red grapefruit vodka, meat, football and laughs.  Lots of laughs.

It was sad to see them go but I was ready to reclaim my house and after two days straight of listening to guy humor ready to reclaim some brain cells.

After throwing sheets and towels into the wash, tiding up the house a bit, and getting Grace fed it was time for mommy to go to book club.  Ahh, this is where I will reclaim some of those brain cells! WRONG.  You see my book club consists of 8 women- all beautiful, smart and funny as hell (yes, I am including myself in that count).  We pick a new book to read every month and then gather at a local wine bar to discuss what we thought of that month's pick- very standard book club rituals but that's where the book "clubness" ends.

The rest of our evenings are spent drinking wine, champagne, eating cheese, crackers and s'mores, making fun of each other and making plans for our next outing.  I am not sure if we are as funny as we think we are - but we have a good time and that's all that matters.  I am sure by the end of the night the staff at House Wine are ecstatic we are leaving.  But then quickly disappointment overcomes knowing it will only be a couple short weeks until the cackling broads are back for more wine.  It is great to have a group of gals like them by my side. 

 Last night was no exception, many laughs, many glasses of wine and yet another book to read, the worst part of book club.   It was a great end to a fun filled weekend.
