I am taking a break from the Academy Awards to write this blog. I love to criticize a few dresses and then rave over the ones I love. I like almost everybody and Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are so funny. Overall, it's a wonderful event and I'm glad I'm watching it on tv because I don't think I could wear my wedding ring and still clap all evening. My hand would be so sore.
Last night we had company so I decided to do a wine tasting. I bought 5 bottles of red wine (that's what they like, I'm a Chardonnay person myself), two merlot, a cabernet, a zinfandel and a petite syrah. We all acted like experts, tasting everything, then took our single glass of wine and had a great conversation and dinner (lasagna, my husband's specialty). Not the most wild party I've ever been to but a lot of fun.
The weather is acting up all over the place and it's easy to get the flu. If you do get the flu, here is a remedy to help. Make a tea of 2 parts boneset, 1 part elder flower and 1 part peppermint. This should relieve some of the aches that come with being sick. If it's too bitter, honey is always a solution.
Tomorrow I put on my business hat and figure out how to knock Warren Buffet out of the top spot. Wish me luck!
