I bought Black Box chard. It is okay. My dad has always bought really cheap box wine like Almeden and stuff so I never thought very highly of it. But this is a little better than that.0

nisijam...we do love our house. It's 3 years old...and has 3 bedrooms/3 full baths. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Sooooooo much better than apartment living!!
I'm actually from Kansas. Born and raised Kansas girl, so I'm rooting on my KU Jayhawks. I hope Kentucky goes DOWN!!!! LOL...but seriously. I'm paying they lose, even if it's only by a point! I love my KU...I bleed blue & red! 0 -
I'd take Almeden over Franzia but I like The Big Green Box or Black Box.
Well you might think it's the weekend, I'm feeling good from my red wine, fiancé is asleep and "we're" watching a movie. A sappy side note, I look at him sleeping and I cannot wait to call him my husband. I came across something the other day and it made me realize even more that Kyle is my forever.
It was a pin that a said "Don't marry a man unless you would be proud to have a son exactly like him."
He's the only man I've ever been with intimately and I'm proud of that but also, even after 8+ years of dating and only being 26 he still makes me laugh so hard I cry
Not many if any other people can do that to me.
He's making a change in his career so that he can spend more time at home not just once we're married but more importantly when we have kids which won't be long after being married. His mom tried to say marriage is different and I'm sure it is but we've already been together for over 8 years and we already own a home so really the only difference will be that it's officially legal. I cannot wait to have my amazing wedding band on with my gorgeous engagement ring and say "Oh, this is my husband" 0 -

Think I'm gonna go with vodka and crystal light.......???!!!!!0 -
Kate, you could also do jello shots. Mardarin orange & lime are very good. You can google tons of recipes. Oh, here's a link for caipirinha...instead of cachaça, you can use a high quality vodka. I had these in a restaurant and had to find the recipe. De-lish :bigsmile:

Ohmygoodness I love, love, LOVE Barney! He totally reminds me of one of my fiancés best friends. I just love the show it's not lame at all. Kyle watches it when I have it on and I catch him laughing every now and then. We had been watching Breaking Bad together but we reached the last episode that was on Netflix so that's over and we're back onto Madmen. Can't wait for SOA to be back this summer though! 0 -
Kim, that was a nightmare of a restaurant!!!! Def not going to be in biz long like that!!!
Margarita fairy --- love that!! It hit pretty good last weekend.
Friend from IL down to visit, we are having a great time! She's not into drinking, so at lunch I had a Marg at Mi Pueblo's and she drove us home. lol!0 -
I love How I Met Your Mother and I didn't watch it in the beginning so I like catching the reruns, just saw the one where they found out about Robin Sparkles-comon' jessica, comon', tori, we're going to the mall you won't sore-ee:laugh:
Last night I had some box wine, I thought it was about finished but I drank about 8 oz and there might be some left, we'll see.0 -

I started from the beginning on Netflix, haven't seen any recent ones but as soon as they're on Netflix I'll watch. I watch reruns on FX, it's on right now
I love the episode where Lily moves in with Barney for a bit.

Double 00's for me...holding out until Thursday, my son will make his First Holy Communium...I have to drink the wine at the alter and well you know I can't stop at that.
Ok, have to go work off the 200 calories I'm over today...potato chips and lemon bars got the best of me today 0 -
mmm..mahi mahi burgers sound awesome! do you have a recipe? I never think to make them. I need more fish in my life.
Monday-0 but that's because I was so hungover from the sh!tload I drank on Sunday :glasses:
Tuesday- some wine. but not going crazy.
Plan to keep it pretty moderate until the weekend, then all bets are off because we're going out of town. The people we are staying with drink like fish. I can hear the voice in my head already "Sydney, pace yourself" :drinker:
You're doing good Kim!0 -
Ha, ha, Syndey...I am trying to redeem myself in some sort of way. Have fun with the fishes. Your going to need ibuprofen & Monster lemonade. I was seriously addicted to those Monsters every afternoon. I finally broke the habit.0

That's just how I am I like to think I can hang with the best of em, and compared to some people I may be able to drink a lot, but we have some friends that I just feel like a huge light weight around. I end up being wasted while there all still going strong!
I second the request for the recipe for the mahi burgers, I actually have some mahi in my freezer right now!

I have 8 places to go on my to-do list and 5 mininum to do when I get home...ugh, the pain of adulthood0 -
so there was only a tiny bit of wine in the box last night and I did not open a bottle, or a beer, or pour myself a vodka tonic, so can that make last night a 0?0

Hellooo everyone! I'm new here and really like this group's concept, I think it will help me get on track to post here!
Quick introduction:
I never used to like the taste of alcohol when I was really young.. tried to drink beer to fit in and my friends would razz me because I'd sometimes use a straw because I hated the taste of it. Same with hard liquor, not my bag.. except maybe for the ultra rare margarita or pina colada. Gradually as an adult I developed a taste for wine.. I started off with dryer wines and didn't like the taste at first.. so would only rarely have any, a bottle would last me a month. Then I discovered sweet wines.. and developed a bit more tolerance, although I'm a lightweight. These days I'm back to the dry wine for carbs sake and in hope of at least some health benefit.. and have at times finished a bottle over the course of a late afternoon/evening but I'm trying to stop that.. I can get away with it if I earn the calories for it but I don't feel great the next morning from it.. and lately as I've lost weight it definitely kicks my butt more when I indulge too much.
So my current goal/challenge for myself is 2 servings maximum in an evening.. and not every evening.. with a lot more 0 days back to back.
Monday April 2nd was a 0
Tuesday April 3rd was a 3 and it kicked my butt pretty hard felt woozy last night and this morning so
today, Wednesday April 4th will be a 1 (finish off that bottle and be rid of it)
Thursday I'm scheduled to go to a wine tasting so I expect will be a 2.0
