My dear friend Lisa flew out to Salt Lake City from Orange County, California, for business on Sunday. Lisa and I went to college together in San Diego and were sorority sisters. Go ahead, make fun of us. We already know that the best way to turn on the lights after sex is to open the car door. Duh.  Yep, we’re both blonde too. So the jokes are never-ending. 

I adore Lisa. She’s hot, fun, smart, successful and has an opened mind.

We were able to meet up for dinner on Sunday night.  Lisa specifically asked me to behave during her visit. She had to have a clear mind for an early morning meeting on Monday. It is sad that my dear friend must remind me when to mellow out and not get wrapped up in the fun? Well we did go to college together after all.  

So being on my best behavior I picked her up from the airport with a mellow diet coke and vanilla vodka cocktail. Then we headed to my favorite hang out…Porcupine Pub. We managed to have  a couple glasses of mellow wine there. She enjoys red, I enjoy white. Then we headed to my house for more wine. But don’t worry, it was mellow wine.  

It was at my house that I asked Lisa if she was getting sick. She was sniffling. She said no. Then I asked if she was allergic to my cat. She said maybe but probably not.

Then she broke my heart! She said, “It’s probably the Cabernet Sauvignon. I can usually only have one glass of Cab.” This is when the night got mellow. Tears do that to me.

Either I need to discover another drink for Lisa or I need get a new friend. Allergic to wine! I’ve known Lisa for 20 years, so dumping her at this point seems silly. I’ll keep her. And I’ll keep a stash of Pinot Noir on hand just for her.
