I'm No Longer Having Conversations Over Text Message

Because Sangria is for Tourists

I knew it was trouble when he started pouring it from a bottle. I reluctantly took a sip and as I originally assumed, it wasn’t good. This wasn’t the sangria that I signed up for.

Being Afraid of Starting Something New

Let me just say, that this will not be a post about how to get over fear. Instead, it’s a post where I admit that I’m terrified of starting something new.

Who's The Boss? Sherry.

This was fascinating to me because I didn’t realize that sherry was once a popular beverage. She could have offered the white wine first, which is what would happen today.
