Cigarettes and Cheap Champagne (or Bud Light)

Love love love LBC's song "Cigarettes"! Mo and I have been playing it on repeat for prob the past 20 min. Instead of going out for date night, we decided to stay in and class it up by drinking Bud Light and hanging out :)

I'm working on a care package for my dear friend KP who moved to the district and Mo wanted to leave her mark on the cd, hence my new infatuation with an old fav, LBC.

Mo's fav line:

"Can't wear you out 'cause you're solid gold"

Dear Chicago

Lately I've become a huge Ryan Adams fan, can't get "dear chicago" out of my head! Favorite line:

think about you all the time.
it's strange and hard to deal
think about you lying there
and those blankets lie so still...

Even though it's a really really sad song, I love his phrasing and delivery

Picture post :)

I know, I know, I've been slacking lately, soo busy at work. I've been taking some pretty neat pics from around town and figured this is the best place to post. Enjoy!

These popped up all around after our former gov's indictment, love it!

Middle Sister Wines

I have a new wine love...Middle Sister Wine. Since I am a marketer's dream and insist on choosing the wine by the color/shape/design of the bottle usually I am stuck with some pretty bad stuff. Last night Mo and I had one of our wine nights and decided to try a new brand. It was a winner! I went to their Web page and now can't wait to try all of them! Here are my quiz results of what wine fits me best:

You're Forever Cool. You’re into vintage: wine and clothes. Little boys think you’re pretty. And the lead guitarist still tosses you his pick at a rock concert. They say if you wore it the first time, you shouldn’t the second. We say, rock those bell-bottoms and that shiny long hair. And have a glass of Middle Sister Forever Cool Merlot. Cause you are.

9 pack??

Never in my life have I seen a 9-pack of beer. Tonight Mike S. and I went on a beer run and we found one! We decided these were for the people for who a 6-pack was not enough and a 12-pack was too much...while drinking alone.
