Vino Viernes… Bonus Post!

Vino Viernes is back but for one night only… well honestly who knows it might just come back the the week of January 20, 2017… but I guess we’ll find out when we get there.

After the events of this past week I needed a fucking drink. WHAT. THE. FUCK. HAPPENED?! How is it that someone with NO political background is going to be the next President of the United States! That is some fucked up shit. 

You know what worries me the most about Donald Trump becoming the president… it’s not what he can possibly do, because there are no drastic changes that he can make without the approval or support of congress and the senate and all that shit. What has me worried is what Donald Trump represents. This man represents racism, this man represents misogyny, this man represents sexism, this man represents bigotry, THIS. MAN. REPRESENTS A COUNTRY DIVIDED.

I fully understand that people want a change, but is this the change you were asking for. Did this change include the United States of America regressing. When Donald Trump and his campaign said they wanted to make America Great Again, did he mean when people of color or people in the LGBT community lived in fear, or when woman had no rights. Is that the America he’s talking about. If we want a change we have to BE that change. We have to continue to progress. We have to continue to make America Great, not again, because a Great America is one that stands United, is one that no matter the color of your skin, sexual orientation, or sex you’re opinions mean something, that your concerns and fears are heard and that something productive is done.I hope that Donald Trump does prove me wrong, and works his ass off trying to make our country better.
Well that’s all I got, see you Sunday!( hopefully because you know I am very forgetful and also lazy)

P.S. I’m not even drinking wine, I did buy some though (I bought the Barefoot refreshers and they are Delish!!!). I’m actually drinking Blue Moon. I just couldn’t think of a good title with Blue Moon or Beer.
P.P.S. Happy Veterans Day!! 

“Love Yourself” My New Favorite Saying.

I know I’ve been MIA(no I don’t mean Miami, I mean Missing In Action) but December just isn’t a good month for me. Before I get started with today’s shenanigans I want to let you know that I’ve decided I will only be posting once a week and it will be going up on Sunday Funday. So after this Wednesdays post we will start again on Sunday. I know your super sad about Vino Viernes, but never fear I will still be drinking new wines and letting you know how I feel about them. I figured since Vino Viernes rarely has anything to do with wine, and I honestly don’t even tell you good things about them I might as well just add a snippet on Sundays about my feelings towards whatever wine I’m drinking.

You might or might not be wondering why I’ve decided to post only once, even if you don’t care I’m still gonna tell you. I think I under estimated this whole posting three times a week thing, I’m pulling at straws here thinking of what to write about, so before I completely burn myself out I’m cutting it down. That way I can tell you a weeks worth of shit in one day…FABULOUS!!

On to today’s one topic. If you’ve been living in the outside world you must’ve heard by now that Justin Bieber has come out with some bangers!!! Well if you’ve been living under a rock and this is the first thing you’ve seen in years since Justin Bieber first came on to the scene… I KNOW I wouldn’t believe it myself but home boy has some pretty amazeballz music out right now. Aaaaaaaand me thinks I found my new favorite JB song. It’s calls Love Yourself, and the reason I love this song so much is because Justin in the most beautiful, sweet way is basically telling this person he wrote this song about is to go Fuck Yourself. I know when I first saw the title I thought it was gonna be some go empower yourself song. BUT nope if you listen to the words you know exactly what he means when he says go and “Love” yourself. Here’s a verse so you understand what I mean:
“All the times that you rain on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart
Ohhh girl for goodness sake
You think I’m crying
Oh my ohhh, well I ain’t!… (<- the proper use of an ellipsis, because you know I never use that shit right… I just really like these dots) Cause if you like the way you look that much
Ohhhh baby you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I’m still holdin’ on to somethin’
You should go and love yourself
DAMN Biebs!!! Get it!! And I leave you to ponder that.

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,
Emily ( last Monday post… Saddest)

Vino Viernes/Adele Day!!

It’s Adele’s album release day, and I might be way to inebriated to make anytype of sense tonight because I will be drinking my feelings. So I’ve decided to write to you this lovely morning and let you know what my Friday night/ Saturday morning will be looking like. Well before I get to the drinking part of my night I will be going to go see ALADDIN ON BROADWAY!!!! I’m so freaking excited I’ve been wanting to see this musical since it opened on Broadway! Aaaaaahhhhhh I can’t contain all this excitement! Not only am I going to see freaking Aladdin on Broadway Adeles album 25 comes out today to… I don’t know what to do with myself!!!! If I wasn’t sitting in my car typing this I would be doing a Chinese fire drill… For those who don’t know what this is, its when the car you are in stops at a red light and everyone gets out and runs around the car and then gets back in to their seats; it’s super fun people in the other cars just look at you like your on crack. So yeah that’s just a snippet of my excitement level.

As for Saturday I’ll be nursing a hangover while watching the Hunger Games Mocking Jay Part 2!!! It’s such an eventful weekend!!

Well I gotta go to work now bye.

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,
Emily ( ADELE!!!!)

Vino Viernes!!

This whole week has revolved around getting ready for my vacation, I like to call it prepping for Cali week. The following is what was done to prepare for California: getting my nails and toes done, buying the last couple of things I forgot to get, getting my hair done, packing, and finally taming the caterpillars on my lower forehead right above my eyes aka eyebrows.

Prepping week started off on Saturday when I went to get my nails done did. Me and my momma dukes went to a new place, and don’t get me wrong they did a really good job but that shit was expensive and they were having a 40% off sale… Imagine how much that shit is at regular price… Scandalous!!!! Also the second most awkward situation is when you get your nails done and while they’re drying your manicurist gives you a back rub and they’re hurting you more than relieving back ache and you don’t know how to say can you fucking stop your hurting me without being a bitch so you sit there in pain pretending that it feels really good… I think I should win a freaking Oscar for making my lady believe she gives and amazing back massage.

Next was getting my toes done. I love getting my toes done , but girl when they get to scrubbing it tickles like a mofo, and apparently my pedicurist is a drill sergeant giving me orders and shit… Stretch! Switch! You have ugly toes… Gasp hurtful!( so she didn’t say that but she was definitely thinking it).

Now please tell me I am not the only one that curses out my eyebrow lady in my head at a very loud inner head voice? If the lady that does my eyebrows could read my mind I wouldn’t leave with hair any where. Well, Tonight I’m toasting to my future adventures in California with a glass of Sutter Homes Sparkling Pink Moscato… As you might know I’m a BareFoot fan but I didn’t have to pay so I’m a Sutter Home lady tonight.

Ps. I’m taking a two week hiatus so I’ll see you guys two Vino Viernes’ from now!

Vino Viernes!!

So what had happened on Wednesday went down like this. On my way home from work I told my self I was going to eat dinner real quick then take a quick power nap. It was all supposed to be fast. The next thing I know my first of five alarms went off and so yea what I’m saying is that I totally fell sleep on Wednesday hence why I didn’t post anything. I told my self ill just do a quick post on Thursday buuuuuuut I was like nah I’m not going to mess up my rotation. Now on to the main events…Wine, Vino, Du Vin. Todays wine is Barefoots Merlot, I cant remember if I’ve already tried this one but I’m alittle on the broke side and this was the only thing that was in my house soooo Merlot it is…and please its pronounced Mer-Lot, okay thanks. This is another dry wine, and this one has an actual grapey taste, I know wine is basically smooshed grapes’ (this apostrophe was the only way Microsoft Word would let me leave my incorrect sentence structure…so the apostrophe must stay) by people’s nasty ass feet. I might just be talking caca because I put a generous amount of Sprite in my glass before I even took a sip of the wine. I am THE worst wine drinker ever!

I’m going to give you a recap of the past week. I realized on Sunday that it was both a good and bad idea watching San Andreas two weeks (at the time of this thought…it is now one week till California…yay!!) before going to Cali. The bad reason is because I scared the shit out of myself, like why would I do that to myself I’m such an asshole. The good reason is I now have somewhat of an idea on what I should do to survive some shit like that. For example I should get to higher ground, find land lines to call my dad and let him know that I got out of a car in an underground parking garage because of the British boy and his younger brother that I befriended (when I say befriend I mean fall in love… obvi), don’t trust Mr. Fantastic because he’s not going to help you out of said car, stay away from falling glass and light poles, and watch out for big ass holes that might swallow you; the most important one is I really have to get my holding my breath underwater for a really long ass time game up. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson you taught me well, my mom can now rest easy. By the way if you didn’t see the movie you probably shouldn’t read this paragraph there are a lot of spoilers… just saying.

On Tuesday I realized a lot of things the first one is that it only takes me about 8 songs to get to work, but that’s only on those extremely lucky no traffic days. Secondly, McDonalds McfingGriddles are super addicting, only get one if you have enough self control to not buy one every day for a week in a half for breakfast…clearly I failed on this one, so now I have to find a completely different way to work without passing by McDs (which is hard because it’s a block away from my job). Also, I use the little microphone button on my phone to help me spell all the time. Lastly, every time I get a glance at my shadow I’m always like “damn girl your eyelashes are long as hell”, but then I look in the Mirror and I’m like “But where did you go?”

Wednesday morning I was listening to Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and they were talking about when they went crazy town on people for the stupidest/smallest reasons. I automatically thought of the time I flipped out on my brother for taking my phone charger. I rarely get mad and I don’t count road rage as getting mad because honestly when you sit behind the wheel you become a psychopath, but one of the people that can get me so angry at the drop of a hat is my brother. The day I went text crazy on him was already a bad day for me and for me to come home with my phone on 10% battery life and no charger in sight I just lost it. I texted him everything in the book that I know would piss him off. I know it was stupid that it was just a charger, but when your already having a shitty day the smallest thing pushes you over the edge. This is a warning for all you brothers out there with sisters, we remember everything and I mean EVERYTHING, and when you least expect it we will (as Dane Cook likes to say) mind ninja the shit out of you. On that note I say good day.

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,

Emily (don’t mess with your sisters…shit will get deadly!)

Vino Viernes!

Tonight I’m drinking wine out of a box!!! This is some classy ass shit!!! It has one of those little push buttons that those big jugs of water have but with wine!!!! It is also the first time I have ever drank wine out of a box and I’m so excited! So the wine that I am drinking is from Black Box Wines and it is Cabernet Sauvignon. Thank the Lordt I bought that Sprite cuz holy shit this is dry as hell! Even though this wine might have won 40 gold medals I’d rather have my Sweet Red from Barefoot!

I’m Not a religious person at all, but yesterday I was watching people’s reaction on TV to Pope Francis’ arrival and it was very emotional. Just seeing their faith was really beautiful. What had me crying was when Pope Francis was in the cathedral and stopped to give a little girl a hug and then when he stopped and gave another little girl I’m a wheel chair a hug… What!!!! I couldn’t stop those tears.

On a lighter note, Me and my mom just spent about and hour or so in target. Which is pretty good for us because I think I can spend days in there and never be bored, but when ever I do come out I’ll have to owe Target my first born. I went to target to buy some things that I would need for my trip to California!!!! Yaaaaasssss!!! Which is 2 weeks away… I’m so freaking souped… Sooped… How do you spell that again, I haven’t used this word in forever. Any way what I’m trying to say is that I’m extremely excited! As I was saying I went to Target with a goal in mind… Buy a carry-on bag and a bottle of Sprite just in case I wasn’t a fan of the boxed wine. There are still a whole bunch of other shit I need to buy, but I forgot to write a list at least I remembered the luggage.

So we find the carry-on bag and are roaming through the isles until we stubbled upon the Halloween decorations. We found this skull that records whatever you say, so we basically spent the majority of our time recording lines from the movie “This is the End”. It was freaking highlarious I even recorded it and sent it to my brother. My mother and I are not allowed to go to Target anymore, we got lucky this time that we didn’t buy to much shit because we forgot a cart and were to lazy to turn around and go get one.

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,
Emily ( Target- proper pronunciation “Tarshay”. Don’t forget it!)

Ps. Big Booty Judy you will get your day I promise!

Vino Viernes!

I was having a pretty good night (Was being the operative word) until some little sucka duck pissed me off!!! I shall start from the beginning for thee.

So tonight I went to the movies with two of my slutties… We saw The Scorch Trials, which was fucking amazing… Not only am I slightly obsessed with Dylan O’Brien, but I’m okay I’m extremely obsessed. In all honesty this movie was amazing… If you haven’t seen The Maze Runner go see that one first then go see The Scorch Trials, you shan’t be disappointed! Any way back to my story. So after the movie Boobielicuous and I decide that we Hungry, so we made our way to Applebee’s, because you know half price appetizers after 10pm, and while we were there we saw some peeps and caught up with people.

While we were there these two couples on what look like a double date to me, but they could totes be swingers who knows. Anyway these couples sitting behind Boobielicious were right in my line of vision! And oooo was the PDA on full blast! These mofos have no respect for us lonely motherfuckers. There they were all huggy and kissy and sharing fucking dessert… LIKE WTF, give me a break I’m about to be in tears here being reminded of my singledom! My lonely, broke, lonely singledom.

After I’m already depressed because I’m there with my Sluttie instead of my future Ex-husband, Boobielicious decides she wants to stab me and twist the knife(metaphorically speaking, but ooo did it feel real!!) this WHORE points out that our waiter didn’t even ID me for the Pitcher of Peach Sangria I ordered, which I basically drank the whole thing, I only let Boobielicious have one glass, well that’s what she deserved for inadvertently calling me old and then for literally (must say with British accent) looking in my face and calling me old! Now you know Boobielicious why you are a WHORE and why you only got one glass!!!

At those point I was still having a good night and then this is where this little mofo in the Honda Civic with his little mofo friends come into the picture! These little dickheads were parked next to my Manny, and were just sitting there with their windows down talking shit. So when we got in the car and started to take off this little shit head asshole piece of horse manure takes off at the same time as me!!! And then the little slut bitch cunt licker sitting in the back throws up dueces out the window!!! I don’t know if you understand the anger that was coursing through me!! I was about to do some horrid horrid things to those little fubnuckers! I don’t think people understand that I keep my ghetto locked down at all times, but when you do some dumbass shit like that my inner Chonga comes out and it’s a bitch to lock her up again! Okay I feel better now. I’m sorry for all the profanity today I just couldn’t hold it back.

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,
Emily ( now because I’m all worked up I’m hot as hell!)

Vino Viernes 9/11 edition!

This morning when I turned on the radio Z100 was playing the national anthem, and on a regular day I always get goose bumps, but today I was pretty emotional and it just brought me back to probably the most frightening day I’ve ever experienced. Today 14 years ago I was in 5th grade when I looked out my classroom window and saw smoke coming out of the twin towers. I remember hearing my teachers say that planes crashed into the World Trade Center, at first I was pretty confused because I never knew that the twin towers was the World Trade Center I had always just referred to them as the Twin Towers. Anyway after that I just remember my name being called over the intercom because my aunt came to pick me and my cousin up. After we went to my house and waited for the rest of my family to get home. All we did the rest of the day was watch the news and just be with each other.

It was all so surreal, I can remember that day like it was yesterday. At the time I might not have known the importance of the World Trade Center, but I knew the significance the Twin Towers had on the New York City Skyline. That skyline just looked so empty without them there. Now with the One World Trade there the skyline is almost balanced out. So in memory of all those we lost and to the twin tower I toast to you!

Vino Viernes!!!

Welcome and Good Evening, I have something really special prepared for you tonight! It’s going to tickle your pickle, it’s going be like the Goose that gets you feeling loose, it’s going dittle your skittle, it’s going to blah blah your blah blah… Sorry I ran out of random sayings. Anyway there’s really nothing special tonight I just wanted to get everyone hyped up. I’m sorry I did that I can be such an asshole. It might actually (must say with British accent) be Delilah (my alter ego) since its been a very long time since she came out to play. When she doesn’t get out much she starts to randomly seep into my everyday life, and that’s not good because this bitch is reckless. I find it so funny that my alter ego decided to name herself Delilah… Like why couldn’t she think of something more fun. Look at Beyoncé bro her alter egos name is Sasha Fierce… It’s amazing!! This is why Beyoncé is the Queen! My life goal is to one day be so incredibly famous that phones auto correct my name like they do with Beyoncé. I’ve spelled her name so many times that it’s started to look like it’s spelled incorrectly.imageSoooo tonight’s wine is Cabernet Sauvignon from Sweet Bitch! I’ve never had Cabernet Sauvignon before, but I just assumed that it was a dry wine! I feel like all wines that have a fancy name are dry… Clearly I know a lot about wines. Any way this wine was incredibly sweet. It was so sweet that it felt dry if that makes any type of sense. I love the sweeter wines but this shit was like have a shit of the sweetest syrup ( I can’t think of any syrup right now… I think I’m having a surfer overload). I had everybody in my house try this wine and everyone made the same face. Their faces was as if they had just bit into a slice of lemon! My parents were even saying that this wine could give you a good case of the diarrhea. If your into really sweet wines than this brand is for you because all the bottles I saw said a Smooth and Sweet.

Today my mother and I realized we can no longer go shopping together because we enable each other to buy random things we don’t need! Our original plan tonight was to go get dinner and then go buy another beach chair for this weekend. So after we went to dinner we stopped at Sam’s Club we ended up walking back out because they didn’t have anything. Next we went to Walmart ,which is right next to Sam’s, we walked around aimlessly until we came upon the beach chairs… I had to do some climbing but we found what we needed and we got the hell out of there because shit got crazy. You know if your in Walmart to long shit gets crazy!!!

While we were in Walmart I was telling my mom that I need to buy a suitcase for my trip to California next month, so she suggested we go to BJ’s. We went to BJ’s looked at the sit cases for like two seconds (because they were crazy expensive) and almost walked out with a supersize bag of peanut M&Ms, an oversized beach towel, some random tub mat and a new shower head for my bathroom ( that was like 50 bucks… I was willing to pay $50 for a shower head I don’t need instead of buying a suitcase I do need, I sometimes don’t understand my own logic) any way thank god those longs were long and we put everything back where we didn’t find them (sorry BJ’s workers, I know we’re such assholes).

Any-who after we leave BJ’s Mama Moon and I go to Burlington Coat Factory ( I don’t think that’s the name anymore, it might just be Burlington), so while we walk around there looking suitcases ( which were just as expensive as BJ’s) we find a section of paintings and photographs… So basically we walked out of Burlington without the suitcase, but I did get three new paintings for my room. I like to call it the Wino Wall!!imageLove Ya from the Moon and Back,

Vino Viernes! The Original

 

It’s back and better than ever!!!! The original Vino Viernes!!! Yaaaassss!!!! Just so you know this will be Ashley… Sorry I meant to put a short one… Ahhhh. Holy fubnucker this Canadian shit is strong as hell!!! If you haven’t noticed I’m drinking the bottle I bought in Montreal! It’s called Cassius Blackcurrant… I think there are a lot of names on this bottle and I’m not sure which one it is, but I can describe the bottle to you. Actually I’m super lazy and slightly sloshed ( I heard someone say this and I thought it’s was highlarious!) so I’m going to put a picture up instead!

As I said before this shit is strong as hell… Any way this wine has a very fruity taste! From what I remember the lady ( the one who had us taste the wines at the festival in Montreal) said that it was blackberry, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you because I’ve never had blackberries before so I can’t say. All I can tell you is that it’s pretty DELISH! My dad doesn’t like it so that means I like it even more!!!! Hopefully this bottle lasts longer than the others. One thing I suggest with this wine is taking breaks between sips, because it’s so sweet it can be very tiring. The thing I don’t like about this wine is that it kind of smells like potpourri… seriously just had the hardest time trying to spell potpourri, Who the hell knew there was a T in that word. I hate silent letters… If letters are put together to make a word then freaking pronounce the letters… All of them!!!! You don’t understand how much that bothers me!! Well that’s it for tonight peeps I’m gonna go drink/listen to music with my brother and cousin!

Love Ya from the Moon and Back,
Emily ( how deep is your love… Aaaah ooooo aaaaah oooo… I want you to breathe me, let me be your air… How deep is your love, is it like nirvana, hit me harder oooo yeah, how deep is your love, is it like the ocean pull me closer!!! I love this song!!! Calvin Harris- How Deep is Your Love!!)
