My FWP of the night and sort of confession.

[iamali]

I hate opening champagne.  The pop always scares me.  I'm a wimp.

Brought to you by solo drinking on a Friday night.





**AND HOMEWORK, I'M DOING THAT TOO PEOPLE.





*****Because everyone knows you write better when you're tipsy.

I usually make my H do it. I'm always afraid I'll break something. That way I can get mad at HIM if something breaks!

i don't know why.

Me too.

Because it could explode and blow your hands off!

I ALSO HATE OPENING CHAMPAGNE!!! Last time I made H do it, he also didn't know what he was doing. It was kinda funny.

My FWP is I can't find a cute ladybug theme dress (not costume) for Em's birthday. At least not under $30.

I always cover it with a towel.

I have never, ever thought to do that.

Thank you in enabling my alcoholic tendencies.

That shit is terrifying.  I've been known to cry when they fail to open on their own.

The secret to opening champagne without a panic attack is a kitchen towel.  Throw it over the top, then pull and turn the cork.  Keep pulling and turning (that's what he said?) and it will pop out, into the towel.  Piece of cake.

Agreed. I'm always afraid it's going to pop right into my face, event though I point it away.

Will you be in a better mood now ali?  Your job sounds stressful is it a 40+ hours/week type gig? Hope you get a nice relaxing night.

Dude - work, grad school, kids.

I think my brain is going to explode sometimes.

[demelza]

I see. Busy lady indeed. Can you share what your in grad school for?

[iamali]

Public administration.

[demelza]

You crazy doing all that at one time.... It will be worth it in the end though I'm sure! Do you have your kids full time or does your ex have some custody.

I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only person terrified of opening dough! I try to stab the seam with a spoon as fast as possible, hoping the can doesn't blow up and slice my hand off.

We share. Thankfully they're with him this weekend so hopefully I can get somewhat caught up.

A rough draft of my thesis was due on Tuesday and it's not done, so I'll be trying to pump that out these next two days!
