It’s already Thursday which means: it’s time for more Wine & Love. If you’re joining in this week, link-up below, share with us in the comments or join us next week!
Before I get started: It’s time to vote for your favorite essay over at Stratejoy. Be a doll and help my blog friend turned real life awesome friend Becky win? She totally deserves it and her essay rocks (and I’m not just saying that cause I adore her). Vote here. She’s Finalist #7! (You can only vote once per computer, and the voting is only open through 5 o’clock PST this Friday.)
Weekly W(h)ines:
* I don’t feel like I’m getting enough sleep. I go to bed early, I wake up at the same time everyday (experts say this is good for your sleep cycle) and yet I still yearn for naps. I’m blaming my pillow which somehow turned lumpy in the last few weeks so we are pillow shopping this weekend. (Sounds so fun, eh?)
* I miss chocolate. I know I gave it up for several very good reasons but there is nothing quite like chocolate.
* I’ve been trying a new meal planning/grocery shopping plan the last month. It’s working well from a meal planning standpoint but I’ve been grocery shopping once a week. I loathe grocery shopping now as a result.
* Gas. It’s nearly $4.00 a gallon where we are.
*Stress. Oi, the stress. There seems to be so much of it lately for me, for Knight, for my very best friends, my family. We all need a week long trip to a spa or some such relaxing place.

And have you read about Mister Linky's new features?
What are Shamrock shakes? I am interested. Not a Jolie fan either but I may check out this article to laugh!
Thank you so much for the shout out!!!
I agree with so much in this post – I meal plan but that means I’m at the grocery store every week. I hate doing “diposable” things – i.e. things you’ll just have to repeat like buying groceries and gas.
Wines this week: Um…being tired? (Since when is that ever not a wine though? Ha!)
Loves this week: The voting for the essay contest going live, and all the support I’ve been getting for it!
Also, today is Ben’s birthday eve and not only am I excited about his birthday tomorrow but I’m excited about the party we’re having Saturday! It’s all coming together!
ahhh love shamrock shakes!!
I saw your pic on Twitter last night and immediately got a craving for a Shamrock Shake. I WILL be getting one this weekend because hey, they only come around once a year!
I’m thinking of braving the snow to find a Shamrock Shake.
And if you like funny things about Angelina Jolie’s leg, you’ll love this one, which had Nathan & I cracking up: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/if-both-of-angelinas-legs-were-showing
Oh i know the no sleep feeling. I need new pillows too!
…and yes, what is a Shamrock Shake (?!)
Shamrock Shakes, eh? I’ve never had one… may have to check them out!
Wine: This. Whole. Week. It hasn’t been a good one.
Love: Things could always, always be worse.
Oh man, I would love to try s Shamrock Shake!

Stress is no good. It might be a contributing factor to your lousy sleep. Have you thought about doing some yoga or meditating before you go to sleep at night? Might help you to unwind and wind down, encouraging better sleep (on top of that new pillow, of course!).
Also, can I have a chat date, please? Pretty please? What do I need to do to get to the front of the line – dangle a $20? =)
It was 50 degrees here the other day, too. And although I’m still freaked out by this extremely mild winter, I’ve given in to just looking forward to spring–allergies and all. (I had a massive allergy attack last night so it’s already started.)
I did not know that Angelina’s leg had a profile. That’s like Pipa’s butt! I am really not sure what she was doing with that leg… I did love how the guy who won the award from her mimicked her!
Okay, I am curious, what is a shamrock shake?
Aw is it Thursday already? I totally wanted to participate in this this week but the week TOTALLY got away from me. I swear I thought it was Wednesday today. Next week!
Shamrock shakes = YUM! I would miss chocolate so much. I’ve been having an extra little handful of chocolate chips every night for you
i seriously don’t remember the last time i felt totally rested or didn’t want a nap, it’s just sad. also gas prices make me irritated, oy. however, hurrah for almost weekends, wee!
I had my first Shamrock Shake of the season today. It was glorious! And the weather Wednesday morning was glorious, I literally could not believe it. Too bad that tanked later in the day
Wine = 90% of this week
Love = I won $25 in the Trader Joe’s bring your own bag raffle ($25 at Trader Joe’s is like $50 anywhere else!) and CADBURY CREME EGGS!
I don’t know how I watched awards shows before twitter. All the twitter accounts that popped up during the Oscars, like the one for Angie’s leg, just make the whole show so much better.
From the short amount of time I spent around the kiddos, I could already tell that Jolie is going to be a fabulous story teller! She has a flare for the dramatic, it makes me smile to think of her reading that book to us!
Wine: Work stuff.
Love: It’s going to be 50 here on Tuesday apparently! Whooppee!
