This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by my trash.

Best Sunday ever. My trash proves it.

Here’s the recipe:

Sunday without other obligations
Sarah
Wine
Oranges
Cloves
Cinnamon sticks
Lots of mulled stuff
Coffee mugs
Fully functioning liver

Put them all together and have fun. We did! Even though Sarah and I had to cook. We hate doing that.

Here’s the recipe for mulled wine.

Wino Wednesday…this weekly feature is designed to share my wine alcohol related stories.

My dad and I have an awesome relationship. He and my mom divorced when I was 18 months old, so I didn’t grow up in the same house as him. Yet since college, we’ve talked on the phone nearly every Sunday. It’s become a tradition.

He has got to be the most brilliant man I know.  Who goes to medical school then right after he begins practicing, he goes to law school? My dad. He was a surgeon by day and an attorney on the side as an expert on medical malpractice cases. At this point he has retired and enjoying a sweet life with a beautiful wife in Texas.

He has helped me through difficult transitions in my life…college, career changes, divorce, etc. Both with his never-ending support and his financial backing. I value his advice and words of wisdom. Always have. Yesterday was no different.

Here’s an excerpt from our standard Sunday chat yesterday:

Dad: Dear, I was reading your blog.

Me: Dad, I told you not to read my blog.

Dad: You really need to stop using that f word. There is nothing more unfeminine than hearing a woman talk like that.

Me: Maybe so, but dad, please don’t read my blog. I’ll tell you anything you want to know.

Dad: Really Susan. You shouldn’t use that word.

Me: Okay, fine. It will be my New Year’s resolution. I’ll stop using the f word. For one month.

Dad: Okay dear. Love you. Talk to you next Sunday.

I made a promise. To stop with the f-bombs here. Consider this your warning for a more PG rated blog now. At least for one month.

Dad, you can read my blog now. Love you. Always and forever.
