It looked iffy yesterday. Issues with my scheduled flights to Vegas meant a mad scramble at the airport to rebook. I was going to arrive last night come hell or high water. Even though several United gate agents, telephone-based staff and Air Canada customer service reps seemed determined to slow me down.
Mission accomplished. I arrived at the condo around 1:00 am local time, exhausted but delighted to be home.
This morning I woke up famished. Even though the clock said 6:30 am, my body knew it was really 9:30, and it demanded nourishment.
Optimistically, I approached the fridge.
And this is what I found inside.
Three different types of beer, half a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey, Premixed Margarita, 2 bottles of Clamato (for my Bloody Caesars), 1 mickey of Vodka, 5 mini bottles of flavoured vodka, a carton of low sodium vegetable stock and various condiments.
I moved on to one of the cupboards and found this.
Various hard liquor, cordials and more mixers.
This didn’t bode well for breakfast choices.
But then the real shock of shocks.
Whoa! There are way too many open spaces in my wine fridge. Especially when I see that 3 of those precious spots are occupied by whites (yawn) and 1 by a rosé (meh).
Forget breakfast. I have some restocking to do. And sadly, since that restocking includes food, this means a trip to the evil empire, Whole Foods. Why am I so excited?
Curses.
Keep moving,
xoxo nancy
p.s. This little jewel just needed to be shared, following yesterday’s post on the sometimes ridiculousness of the yoga culture.
my year of sweat 
Another great video! That guy wears way more jewelry than me. Not to mention lipstick…
Ha! Probably more than me too, come to think if it.
Welcome back to the U.S. Nancy! Is there weather in Vegas as nice as here in the La Quinta? It’s amazing and supposed to be in the low 80s all week. Very nice….maybe with the weather nice you won’t be stuck inside digging up such funny and strange videos 🙂 Excuse me, I need to go balance my chakras right now! ~Kathy
Weather is gorgeous. Can’t wait to hit those mountains tomorrow.
Here in Australia we call all those bottles breakfast. I do hope you’re well stocked now and thanks for the great video. Very funny.
I’m thinking I may have some Australian ancestry then… 🙂
Not fun to wake up to only booze! Love the video, so funny! But, I am wondering self-consciously if you lump me into this culture and all of my crazy yoga posts over the last few months prompted your recent posts! 🙂 Yoga really is awesome in and of itself but I agree there definitely is some goobery-ness in the yoga culture.:)
Not at all Kerry! Much like my love – hate relationship with Whole Foods, so to is my relationship with yoga, meditation, etc. I struggle because I want to so bad, but also laugh at the sometimes ridiculousness if it. You’ll see, in a year I’ll be smelling of patchouli and chanting along to the music of the monks, while eating these words. Trust.
Haha! Awesome, I can’t wait 😉
I’m tentatively scheduled to go to a beginners guided meditation session next Wednesday. If I don’t chicken out, I’ll be blogging about it! 🙂
Remember that post I did about my husband hating that the yoga culture had to inherently be hippy? It may be, but don’t let that discourage you from digging deep into yourself.
I think we sometimes look for all of the negatives in something new before we dive in because we’re looking to de-bunk the whole idea and save us the energy.
I know you really want to do this and you will be so rewarded. I’ve never done a guided meditation class, I know there are some around here. For now, yoga works for me but I would love to get to sitting meditation in the future. In the crazy, non-stop, technological world we live in, it is almost a necessity to slow down our minds just to cope!
Good luck Nancy, I can’t wait to hear all about next Wednesday…maybe you’ll do it conversation style? I am already giggling about the possibilities of that! 😀
That would be a fun way to write about it! And that alone could be enough to help me break through my fear and skepticism and actually attend. 🙂
White wine? Rosé?
Get it sorted out!
:p
Amen sister. Amen.
My kind of kitchen. 🙂
We will get along just fine, Lisa. 🙂
Love the video and, I have to say, that’s my kind of fridge!!
Good to know I needn’t stress too much if you ever pop by unexpectedly. 🙂
Not at all! I like both white And rose 🙂
Well you did have broth, so vodka soup? That sounds nutritious and like a great way to kickstart your morning. It’s totally just like doing a cleanse.
Or something.
That video was hilarious! And very well timed. Tomorrow is the day that I go to my super crunchy chi filled yoga class — its a great work out so I keep going back, but if I actually listen to anything that the teacher or the other students are saying I want to start screaming because it is so ridiculous. Now, when they turn on the crazy, I’ll just start playing this song in my head to drown them out.
Ha! Brilliant! I think I will borrow from your plan. I’ve got some planned yoga and meditation classes in the next week. 🙂
Why don’t we do yoga together?! In your house. Near the fridge. What say you? 😉
What say I? I say…HELLZ YEAH!!!
I want to move in with you 😉 I’m a little upset that that guy looks better in his Miley gear than I would 😉
I will gladly accept you, under refugee status. I am 100% sure you qualify based on the horrors I’ve read and pictures you’ve shared.
And I know exactly what you mean re the guy. Sad.
At least we have Smithson to keep the side up 😉
I was going to say the same thing as Linda. The moving part that is. I look as good, if not better than that guy when I wear my Miley gear.
Prove it, Sean. I need pics. Stat!
Ha. Ok well I’m not sure when I’ll post it but I was planning on doing a humorous piece about my time doing volunteer work in India. And there are more than a few action shots of me topless in just a skirt/wrap/lunghi…
Challenge accepted.
Ooooh I can’t wait!!!
Now that I would like to see! 🙂
I’ve just had another look at the pictures… I may spoken too soon…
Are you looking at yourself in the mirror at the same time??
Oh god present day Sean is a fucking mess! There’s no way I’d have hit you guys with any fighting talk in my current state… My comment was based purely on when I was in India and arguably in the best shape of my life. NO ONE wants to see me in a skirt now!
I dunno – I quite enjoy pointing and laughing!
That makes two of us Linda. Bring it Sean!
He has to do it now! 🙂
Now he just has to find a wrecking ball strong enough to hold him 😉
🙂
LOL….that video, so funny. Hmm, and that frig….wonder what that says about you? My kind of gal 🙂
You and I both know exactly what it says about me, Ingrid. 😉
You’re welcome to raid my fridge anytime.
Be careful who you throw an invite out to….never know who’ll show up to drink that wine LOL.
🙂
I re-read this twice and, still, I can’t see what the problem is with your fridge nor your cupboard. But I can see plenty with going to whole foods! 🙂
Hahaha! Judging by the comments I’m getting, I clearly need to rethink this whole need for food thing.
ps I have since bought 4 more bottles of red and one bottle if tequila. My readers wield much influence on me!
Did you subscribe? I don’t wish to see him again in his tighty whities! Think you need to buy some solid food and go for a run.;-)
Didn’t go for a run, but I did get a tough hike in, so I’m feeling much more clear headed now. And no, I didn’t subscribe. 🙂
I almost forgot about my need to invite myself over because of the magic that just happened in that video. I couldn’t look away. When he was on the tire swing, I nearly died.
Over so that I can consume your alcohol. Dammit, I’m still so distracted.
Hahaha! Who can blame you?
My gift to you. 🙂
