This Wino Wednesday post was inspired drinking cheap red wine on a flight.

I spent an entire evening flying on an airplane. In coach class. I’m not complaining because I think it was the most “feel good” flight I had. Why? Well let me tell you:

1. I discovered and watched a great movie…Bottle Shock. This made #2 on my list so enjoyable. By the way, if you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s *that* good and based on a true story.
2. I had someone bringing me wine. So what that she charged me $7 for every mini bottle of the cheap juice. It tasted so good. That’s mostly because of #1 on my list.
3. My MacBook Pro battery life lasts forever. And by forever, I mean for a long time. I love that machine.
4. I bumped into a Salt Lake City friend as I ran onto the plane. Literally. I was very late and the last one to board. She was in first class. Bitch. (Not really, she’s a doll.)
5. I had wifi onboard. Crazy being in touch with people thousands of feet below you.
6. There was an empty seat next to me. My petite 5′4″ frame totally needs the space. Okay really, all the shit I was lugging around needed the space.

After this flight, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed. It was amazing. Of course, that could have been the wine helping my heart be so happy. Don’t argue…RED WINE IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEART!

This past Sunday was an awesome day. I had a list of chores to get done, but I managed to ignore all of them. You know why? Because after Elle brought me coffee in bed, she brought me bubbly. This beverage always makes me smile. Hell, it was champagne Sunday after all. Every Sunday is.

After several sips of bubbly I started brainstorming on what we should do with our day.  Again bubbly makes me happy so I thought I’d give Elle something that would make her happy. She’s been begging me for this for months.

So I said it. “Elle, let’s go get paint and redecorate your room today!” She squealed.

She picked the colors and the design. I bought the stuff. We both did the work.

Now I walk into her room to brighten my mood. The large polka dots are just like bubbles. They makes me smile. Maybe even more than champagne on Sundays or clean sheets on Sunday night. Okay, that might be a stretch. But I do love Elle’s new room.

The perfect gift. Well a picture of it anyway. No words are needed, except…

this is perfect for me.

It was a gift from a friend.

As many of you know, I don’t cook. Therefore I view my kitchen as a place to store wine. And a place to make coffee.

This is not to say I didn’t get other perfect gifts. Because I did. I can’t help but mention the adorable hot pink fingerless gloves/mittens. And donations made on my behalf, picture frame, artsy necklace, etc… Part of what makes these things special are the people who gave them to me. I’m blessed. xo
