Euchre! Fun!
Good luck with all that sarameg.
I am pretty low on summery wines myself, although as slowly as I drink the few I have may get me through this summer.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am up at 7 to wait for the A/C guy.
Also, it rained, and our roof still leaks. Which is not a surprise, but is definitely super irritating.

I had two bottles of Rabbit Ridge rose that I combined with lemoncello and some fruit for a lighter than usual sangria.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bought some vinho verde last week! And it is still in my fridge, since it is still red wine weather. Honestly, I could have worn tights today, but I refuse! JFC, it's almost JUNE. And yet? High of 52 today.

I don't know if I like vinho verde (no, autocorrect, I do not mean bingo. That'll put marzipan in your pie plate). I should try some and find out.
Solved my leftover lamb problem with curried eggs. Now I have leftover Curried Eggs and Lamb, but only one serving, so that's manageable.

Vinho verde is nice because it's light, a little fizzy, and relatively low-alcohol. Perfect for summer drinking!

Because books.
I've never had vinho verde, but it sounds perfect for me.

I had some monday night!
No dentist appt for me. I got there, told the front desk and then sat there for 15 minutes (5 minutes early) before I was all, uh, guys?
They'd forgotten and told my person I wasn't there. And no one checked the waiting room (it's not immediately visible from the front desk.) So I just scrapped it. Hope nothing new pops up before the next one in August.
Came home to messages on my machine asking where I was.
I *really* hope this isn't a harbinger for the day.

Oh no!
Yikes, Sara. My morning was crappy for reasons I won't get into, but that is of the suck!
PS: Did I say vinho verde is cheap? Another major point in its favor.

Oh good lord, sarameg.
Sad about Maya Angelou. She's another of those people that were supposed to be eternal.
Vinho verde certainly sounds great! There's a particular flavor that renders otherwise lovely wine undrinkable to me, which unfortunately I have never found a way to describe other than "that taste, the one I don't like" despite the wine tasting seminars and palate educating.
What I want to load up on for the season is the low alcohol IPA that the brewery where I puck up my Box o' Meat makes. A perfect post lawnmowing beer.
