Drug Smuggling, Dirty Martinis and Boxed Wine

These are my top 3 tonight . . and they are listed in no particular order.

Let's start with Drug Smuggling - I have to go out of town tomorrow and spend the night - this means that I have to carry needles, delestrogen and progesterone in oil through security. Yes - I have prescriptions for them but do you think that will matter for the TSA? I spend way too much time in airports watching the TSA agents take pleasure in busting people . . or making up the rules as they go. Top that off with my 3.5 oz bottle of butt numbing spray that my allergist has prescribed to make the shots more palatable . . which is .5 an oz above the limit for the 1 quart baggie and this is a recipe for disaster. Yes - prescription meds are exempt - but Murphy's Law will prevail - I am sure. Earlier tonight - DH asked me to " try not to go off on the TSA agents tommorrow and remain calm". Scary thing is that I was not insulted - I just said "yes, dear". Wish me luck . .

Dirty Martinis . .

You have to love my allergist - not only did he prescribe me the "butt numbing spray" described above - but when I saw him yesterday - and told him I think that I am allergic to the tanins in wine . . he said "drink vodka because it is pure alcohol with less calories" . . so starting tomorrow - I will be known as the "dirty martini girl . . ."

Boxed Wine. .

Ignoring the tanin allergy issue and trying to be budget conscious - I decided to embrace the new trendy box wines. So now I am telling you all that I am rejecting that trend - we all know that I can drink 64 oz of water a day without blinking - that I have never met a Super Double Big Gulp that I could not suck down in 30 minutes . . so what do you think happens when I am confronted with a box of wine . . . let's just say I suck it down like Kool Aid. I do not do this with intention - it is just another beverage . . . DH would say . ."This is why I worry about you Dear Wife . . ." The man does not drink - so I forgive him.
