1. A box of wine has it’s very own tap. Fancy.
2. A box of wine fits so conveniently in your fridge. No more bulky bottles that can spill and break leaving a wretched mess.
3. A box of wine’s ability to keeps it’s freshness is unmatched. Who wants to offer your distinguished guests a glass of wine with a compromised bouquet? Certainly not me.
4. A box of wine helps prevent your liquid goodness from ending up down the drain. No more debating on whether to store that last glass, or dump while you wipe that slow rolling tear from your cheek.
5. More seriously, a box of wine is earth friendly. A box uses 85% less landfill space than traditional glass, is more carbon efficient, and uses significantly smaller energy resources to produce the product.
So seriously, it is time to drop the stereotype. The next time someone says something slanderous toward your beloved box of tapped liquid heaven, stand strong. Stand proud. You have convenience, taste quality, and Mother Nature on your side.
Drink up sister.

I am socially awkward. I just am. And I wish I knew exactly why…
On the outside I am a decent enough looking specimen of the human species. Chubby, sure. But decent looking all the same. And on the inside I am intelligent, caring, and driven.
So why in the HELL do I feel so out of place and inferior in the most normal of situations?
Like for example, I went and got my hair cut today which was long over due. The salon I go to is filled with kind and warm women, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. And still I feel like I don’t belong, like I am a child amongst the grown ups.
And don’t even get me started about a party or some other social gathering where I might not know everybody well. Or work meetings where I am supposed to mingle with my peers. I have this internal dialogue that people surely think I am a weirdo. And they probably do think I am weird–or just bitchy–because I am so withdrawn most of the time. And primarily this is because I just don’t know what to say. I have this all time cricket chirping audio everywhere I go–at least I wish I did. Anything to help fill the silence while my brain feverishly searches for something brilliant and witty to say.
My husband, bless him, is the polar opposite. I love going places with him because he is the type of person that draws people in. He is a bright shining light and NEVER runs out of things to say. To the point of nausea at times (just ask our friends!). I am completely content to sit back and let him do our socializing. This way I can relax, have a drink if I am lucky, and just enjoy my environment–the way I like to. I am a soaker. I like to add to the vibe and contribute to the conversation when I want to. God help me when I have to work a room myself.
Anyone feel me on this?

Remember how 09 is all about thriftiness? Well the self proclaimed coffee addict works directly next door to the most delicious of all deliciousness coffee places. No more spending 5 bucks on a cup of coffee. Will power. Will power. Will power. Sigh…going to make myself a cup of tea to pass the craving.
Love you Biggby, its been real.
