HAZE OF THE WINE

Time moves slow…

Yes, sometimes time moves SO slowly you can’t even wait until the next minute has passed. You can’t control your lack of patience, and it’s eating you alive in the most painful way possible. You see the future, and you hold on to it tighter than a slipping rope. And with every minute of struggle, you feel it slipping away from you like a thousand needles stabbing your forefinger to draw every ounce of anemic blood from your fixated pulse. It’s disabling and beautiful all at once because you know exactly why time is moving so slowly.

Grouplove’s “Slow” is the song I’m obsessed with right now. So feeling it.

Perhaps you are the only distraction that could ever alter my time line.

Tried a Concannon

Grabbed a random bottle of Concannon Syrah. Honestly it’s pretty dry for a Syrah… not sure I’d buy it again. And I’m a huge fan of dry wine! Interesting.

3 weeks of cleanse hell = OVER! Cut to me indulging in Syrah, Italian cheese, and homemade bolognese. YUM!

Opus One - window

Just found out that my 2008 Opus One should be drank between 2011 and 2021. Sweet! Maybe I’ll save it for a good 5 years or so!

7 more days till wine….

7 more days until my no caffeine / no alcohol cleanse is over and I can drink WINE again! I wanted to die when I was watching gossip girl with my roomie last night and she kept pouring herself wine….. wah!!!

Getting close though! I can do it!

Wine tasting and life

For my birthday this year I’m booking a room in Temecula with some friends for a wine tasting weekend! I’m stoked for that. My favorite birthday ever was my first trip to Napa, so I figured why not try some other wine country. Wine + friends = win.

Life? I’ve been UBER focused on my goals for this year so far in 2012. I’m normally such a little social butterfly but I literally have barely seen anyone. But I must say the focus is a good feeling. I’m amazed at my own self-discipline when I put my mind to something. I’ve also been doing my version of a cleanse that doesn’t allow me to have caffeine or alcohol for 3 weeks… hence no wine updates recently. I drink coffee and wine literally every day, so I figured it’s good to give my body a break for a few weeks. The first week without SUCKED, mostly because of the caffeine headache withdrawal. I seriously wanted to die. But week 2 I’m fine! Same as last year. I’m feeling refreshed.

There are a lot of things I have my eye on right now, and I really hope I get them! There are also things I am trying so hard to move on from and NOT think about. That perhaps is the most challenging of all… especially when it keeps popping up right in front of my face. Maybe I was hoping it would.

Wine Tasting Suggestions?

I’m trying to find an affordable rate for about 5-6 friends for a wine tasting weekend. We’re looking in the Solvang/Santa Barbara area. Does anyone know of any great, affordable deals? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can you will change?

If I make an affirmation of my New Year’s resolutions or spend my time focusing on finding solutions to the current problems in my life, will change come about?

Can you will change? If you put the thought out there, is it more likely to come around? The Secret says so. Some people I know believe that.

Will it work for me? If I focus on exactly what I want, will I find what I’m looking for? This year will be a test to that question. Let’s work smart and find out!

Day 1 of my “cleanse” esque whatever you call it. God how I miss wine already!

“So this is the new year…..

…and I don’t feel any different” - Death Cab

It’s true, I don’t feel any different. I am however excited about my goals for this year and even more excited to see what cards I will be dealt. I wrote out a list of exactly what I want and was as specific as possible. If I can envision it, maybe it’ll happen.

So I am about to do my version of a cleanse again starting tomorrow, and that requires me to give up wine for 3 weeks. UGH! No wine for that long? How did I do it last year? This is gonna suck. But I’ll feel great after. I need to detox.

Cheers to a new year, new goals, and a fresh start.

Va De Vi - Walnut Creek, CA

Finally went to this place when I was up north visiting the parents. I tried the NV Nomad. Not bad. I love how this place offers you half glasses (which they fill pretty generously). The food is delicious, but way overpriced. I’d recommend just drinking the wine here!

Opus One

My boss got me a bottle of Opus One for my holiday gift. Um, WHAT! AWESOME. So stoked. Now the real question is….. what special occasion shall I save this bottle for? I’m sure plenty will come up knowing me :)
