Skipping away!
Let’s talk about our plans for the long weekend. I’m going to go to Edisto with my girlfriends so we can gossip about people we knew in college and paint each other’s toenails (one of those things maybe won’t happen). We’re going to go see the baby turtles go to the sea, eat barbecue, and catch up on reading/lolling. What are y’all thinking of doing?
I’m not coming back.
So what are you up to this weekend? I’m doing apartment hunting and a barre class tonight, then a beach bonfire. Tomorrow is going to be a blur of Spoleto and the farmer’s market. Sunday is probably going to consist mainly of me getting nervous that Sharon Tate is Megan Draper. Got any cool plans?
I guess what I’m trying to say is I like to go fast.
I’m not even going to remind you what I’m doing this weekend. What are YOU doing this weekend? I know a lot of my friends are going to Talladega to see that race; the photos above is from that adventure in 2011. Let me here from you!

Shelbyville, Ky. Flea Market, some undefined time in the past.
I’m in this weird and terrible place right now, where I really need to pack and househunt, but I also really, desperately need to go to all the Kentucky Derby Festival events. Let’s be real: I’m going to put all this off for at least another 8 days. What are you doing this weekend?
Kentucky, mid-spring.
What are you up to this weekend? I’m going on a 12 mile walk out thataway, catching up on Chronderlust business, and spending all day Sunday at Holy Grale on the porch. And you, my friend?
It is time, once more, for me to bring you a delicious adult beverage!
Taken from inside a dark bar, but trust me.
I love love love a malbec. My darling friend passed his sommelier course this week, so when we went out to celebrate, we naturally let him pick the wine. The 2007 Benvenuto de la Serna was his choice, and I enjoyed it. It’ll run you about $16, but it drinks like something wayyyyy pricier.
It’s got a lot of layers to taste through- you get a little bit of red berries (more like, um, craisins than raspberries, though), some leather, coffee, chocolate, a little herby stuff, and some other things I can’t quite put my finger on (my som says that’s cheese, but I don’t believe him). It’s not to acidic, and it’s very big, so pair it with something that can stand up to that much.
Have you had this? What are you dipping in to to celebrate your 48 hours of freedom?

Sorry if half-eaten food is kind of gross to you, but you need to see this.
It’s not THAT gross. You eat food, too.
Picked up the 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon Wheat beer on a visit to Mission Chinese this weekend and I am here to tell you this is the feel-good hit of the summer. I am growing pretty weary of this endless-winter-snow-flurries-seeing-your-breath-at-noon nonsense, so I decided to ignore the weather and get a fruity summer beer. This definitely worked (it’s warm now), sort of like pretending to ignore boys so they’ll notice you was a very effective strategy in middle school.
Crisp, dry, and very light on the melon- this drinks like a dream and has a pretty low ABV (4.9%), so you can have more than one. I personally loathe getting a fruit beer that tastes more like Hawaiian Punch (and no disrespect to HP, but there’s a time and a place for everything), so I was pretty delighted to try this.
Also, it kept my mouth from igniting during lunch, so that was also a plus.
I looked around on the internet for where you can pick it up, but came up short, so I guess for now you can buy it on eBay by the can. Do you know where to get this? Are you into it? Into fruit beer generally? Tell me.
