DYK I know it's a bit early for CENTRAL time - but on the East coast it is MARCH FIRST!!


DYK I really really wanted to start the DYK


DYK Steph is SO lucky (Black Irish in you occasionally by any chance???) that the title doesn't say (& Steph has no wet spots)


DYK ROFLMAO

DYK to add to my previous post about some 'me' time, I did talk with DH about it last night and told him that next weekend I wanted some time alone.


DYK we used to have an agreement where we each got some individual time on the weekends, and that hasn't happened in awhile (at least not for me).


DYK our son is in preschool, but I use that time to work out, so if I start having 'me' time during the day, that means I have to skip the gym (they only have childcare when he's in preschool, and then again at night but I'm too busy with kid activities to go back then).

DYK we got completely slammed by taxes too, for the second year in a row

DYK I don't know what is wrong with the accounting dept at DH's firm; once again they failed to take out anywhere near enough

DYK ugh.

dyk I had an incredibly busy day yesterday

DYK first, I took the dog on a 3.5 mile, super hilly hike on a trail we hadn't tried before

DYK it was really beautiful, with lots of creeks and redwood, but a little intense for me

DYK we both had a great time anyway

DYK after that I drove down to my mom (about an hour away) and we went out for lunch (dim sum, but a lot of veggies) then spent the afternoon ordering food and shopping for my stepdad's 60th birthday party

DYK mom and I got a long great all day, and had a lovely time, but she had to get in two good motherisms:

You love that do so much, imagine if you had a baby? AND

Its amazing that you've gotten so thin, and still have that tummy. Now you must understand why people get liposuction.

DYK I managed to shake it off but, as usual, left with a headache.

DYK still had a good dinner out with DH

DYK I broke from the Chardonnay trend

DYK we brought a great bottle of pinot noir (Pisoni, in case anyone cares) to the restaurant last night

DYK we had it with blue cheese salad and burgers

DYK I love having a great bottle of pinot with a burger

DYK we don't always save our best wines for the fanciest meals!

DYK have you tried Riesling or Gewurztraminer

DYK those are my favorite aromatic, sweeter whites

DYK they are great with spicy foods and Asian foods

DYK there is a big range of residual sugar in Rieslings, but the drier ones should be SB friendly

DYK we mostly get California wine, but my favorite nationally distributed Riesling and Gewurts are Alsatian, from a winery called Trimbach

DYK I had to get a bottle out of the fridge to figure out how to spell "Gewurztraminer"

DYK I once made the same stew

DYK we have a similar wine storage system in our house now

DYK we ran out of wine storage space in the house, so most of the "do not cook" wines are stored offsite anyway

DYK that reminds me that we really need to go out to wine storage; 250 bottles in the house and not one ready to drink Zinfandel.

DYK around our house, that's a major problem!

DYK maybe I'll get them to watch when he is on his next business trip
