Sitting here…drinking cab franc, eating homemade chocolate cake chip cookies (coming next week) and listening to Webbie watch Rome.

As one of my best friends says…#thisis26.

And that is the perfect Friday night for me.

Life is funny like that. Three years ago, this would have been an embarassing Friday night. And now, it’s the highlight of my week. R&R.

Whoops, just spilled half a glass of red wine on my carpet.

Welcome to Friday night…
