Always, ALWAYS Get Her Wine.

in B,a reason to drink- like i need one,confessionary tales,funnies,i am dying,i might be clinical

Hey! Guess what. I’m only a LITTLE bit here today. I’m mostly over here, at Maxie’s place with one of the most deranged Would You Rather Wednesdays ever, thanks to the help of my dear friend Moog from Mental Poo. Go on, you know you want to click. I know you want to see that trainwreck, you sicko, you!

Ahem.

It’s actually quite appropriate that I’m posting on Maxie’s Pad (tee hee) today, given my current state…

Last night I started crying because we couldn’t find the episode of The Tudors where we’d left off. Seems reasonable, no? I thought so.

(Aunt Flo, you are a dirty, dirty whore.)

Anyhoo, B patted my hand and asked, “Would you like some wine?”

Good man.

He returned and I meekly thanked him as I took a big sip. Later, when I was slightly more sane, he showed me this.

I love it. I’m laminating it and hanging it on the wall.

If only all men would abide by it.

Classic. ‘Nough said.

(Is “The Tudors” worth getting into? I wonder if that train has left the station.)

We’re absolutely loving it. Sex, violence, betrayal… what’s not to love?

See, its not just the mood swings, headaches, cramps, stomach indigestion, etc why women get cranky on their periods, its also the timing that pisses us right off!

I make my own wine by getting the dog to squish grapes with her teeth after she’s eaten a half rotten squirrel then allowing it to ferment behind my fridge until it’s “wine”.

Yet another reason why I fail with the ladies.

Half a rotten squirrel, or a squirrel that’s half rotten? That’s probably where you’re going wrong.
