    Lots of beer last night which gave me a tiny buzz (beer doesn't do much for me anymore, unless of course it's 2 big beers at lunch on an empty stomach haha) felt fantastic this morning. Thinking I'll have wine tonight after getting some things done before we leave this weekend! Looks like it may rain quite a bit while we're in Bermuda but the fiancé said the hotel we're staying at has a nice bar so I think we'll be alright :wink:

    Thursday, ???

    Today is my son Kyle's 14th birthday. This is my third teenager and one more to go. So, drinks will be had.

    I am having a huge graduation party with my sister for our kids graduating this year. So, I am thinking of buying some quality boxed wine and have done the research. Do you think it would be tacky to have boxed wine. We're having a keg of beer, so what's the difference? I am thinking of the waste and clean up factor.

    Well, I've looked up a few from real simple when I googled the best boxed wines...they had quite a selection. So, I am going to see what Sam's club has and the local grocery stores. But, there are yellow & blue malbecs, Bandit pino grigio, Seven red table wine, bota shiraz, black box merlot and fish eye pinot grigio.

    See you lushes later...off to lunch with hubs and wine shopping!

    Target has a "wine cube" that is really good I've tried merlot, cab, pinot noir and pinot grigio :drinker: ................and if anyone thinks its tacky tell them they don't have to drink it! More for the rest of you!....No for real if its a casual party with a keg then there is nothing wrong with boxed wines.

    Hi, Dot...your doing great!

    Ok, just got back from the liquor store and they have 30% all wines on Saturday if you bring in 3 non-perishable items. They have the Bota and Black Box; so, it was meant to be. I'm thinking 6 boxes should be enough. Now, I have to be sure not to drink it all before the party.

    Chole, I agree, if you don't like it. Don't drink it. BTW, do you know how long it stays fresh after you open it?

    I think on the ones from Target it says good for 4 weeks......so I would assume they are all the same. Not that mine ever actually makes it to 4 weeks anyways :wink:

    I hear the box wines stay fresher because they are more air tight. I've never tried them tho. I just may have to put that on my "to do" list.

    Back from the Dr. and I'm down 18 lbs from this time last year...which I kinda knew..but it made me feel good to hear it. :glasses: BP was also down to well into the normal range. Everything went great. Oh..and she gave me this new sleep medicine that I guess is all the rage. It's not addictive and supposedly has no bad side affects...so we shall see how that works.

    So I will be drinking tonight...cuz that's what you do to celebrate a good dr. appt....right? :drinker:

    Has anyone ever found a moscato in a box? (that almost sounds like a joke!) That's my favorite of wines and I would be happy to help the environment by cutting down on bottles!

    Definitely!!!!

    I've been getting the house ready for our trip, I hate coming home to a messy house so I'm getting things nice and clean so when we get home we can just bum around and hang out with the fur babes :smile:

    I still need to get my bike ride out of the way but I am very much looking forward to opening a bottle of red from our new wine fridge :drinker:
