As my screen states I'm a busy mommy with 5 sons. I have a wonderful husband that I met 4 years ago. We are a blended family. I'm also a teacher.

My favorite drink is a nice cab, but here lately I've been enjoying margaritas.

My favorite movie is Guardians of the Galaxy. Although I love all Marvel movies. I rarely watch "chick flicks". Give me action any day.

Hi, i am a recent empty-nester. Have two grown sons who are well on their way to the lives they want. I love to experiment with food and i love to cook. This is probably what got me into this situation in the first place. I recently turned 50 and decided that i was in need of a change, being one of the reasons i joined this site. My drink of choice is a sangria. I too love the Guardians of the Galaxy (just watched it last night, as a matter of fact) ,but i do love chic flicks, but also love a good action movie. Glad to meet you!

Love the image on the opening post. I've often wished for an app that would tell me how many calories on my plate when I take a picture. Then it could tell me how much ice cream I can have.
I gave up alcohol almost 30 years ago. But I do know how to have fun at parties without it.
I like psychological thrillers. Rear Window is my fav. all time thriller.

I thought this was about someone scuba diving for wine and thought I must take up diving.
Maybe I should open a bottle and get started.

LOL. I'd so be strapping on the scuba gear if there was wine down there!

OMG! I have seen Guardians 3 times in the past two weeks. It's rapidly becoming a quote along in our house!

The last chick flick I saw was The Notebook on DVD.

Sangria is yum. Haven't had it in a while. I may have to make some with this new wine I bought.

I'm looking forward to being an empty nester in 8 years. My ultimate goal is to retire and spend time with my grand babies.

Ha! I'd buy that app! Picture calorie counter would come in handy at those Buffett style restaurants.

I haven't seen Rear Window. What is it about?

Congrats on the 30 years! That's something to be proud of.

I slept through guardians of the galaxy...oops

And I got a book of sangria recipes. The best so far...raspberries mixed with lemoncello and pink lemonade and then dump in a bottle of prosecco. Omg, I don't remember much of that evening but my neighbour basically kept the jug of that beside her and emptied it

bzymommy5boyz

That sounds great. What are the measurements.

It's a shame that alcoholic drinks have so many calories.

I think it was 2oz lemoncello and 2 oz lemonade, all thought I doubled them. A package of fresh raspberries and a bottle of sparkling wine such as prosecco. It was delicious.

I do believe I'm going to try that this summer.

We tried to make it to the pool today but it started raining again. Hopefully we have seen the last of it for a while. After the floods, we need to dry out a bit.

I had no other plans for exercise today. Hahaha

But I am enjoying a glass of wine!

Cheers.
