I used to think red wine was too thick or too dry or too acidic for me. Then I discovered Cupcake wine and my world changed. I had been drinking the Chardonnay for a while, and one day the Cabernet Sauvignon was on sale and I haven't looked back since. Not to mention, red is so much better for you than white, another reason I am happy to have fallen in love with the taste of red wine. I still prefer the sweeter vino, and the other night one of my best friends brought over a bottle of Emilia. I know Cupcake is cheap, but this stuff is cheaper, like I can buy it weekly (don't judge me right now) and not feel guilty. And ohmygosh is it delicious. Try it. Now.
I know I'm behind the times on this one, but I've always just had a coffee maker. Enter the French Press. When I have to stop subleasing my place and stop using all of these things that are not mine, I will be investing in one of these. And an electric kettle. So amazingly easy.
3. Snow.
Mid-Missouri is covered in snow right now. Everyone I know is complaining about it, but I love it. Snow is beautiful. Out my window a tall ~8ish inches of puffy powder is blowing around. This weather has pushed back my jolt into the real world of grad school by a week. I haven't went to class all week long. I think it's God's way of saying, "you need some alone time, stay in your pjs all day, sleep until noon, watch the Travel and Food channel with abandonment, make all those recipes you've been putting off, and ya, it's okay if you still haven't done your laundry..."
4. New pens.
I splurged on a new set of colored pens yesterday. I can't stand to look at black ink anymore.
5. Bananas
I read an article the other day about how to beat the "winter blues", you know how some people feel sadder during the winter months? We often feel there is nothing to look forward to because Christmas is over, there isn't any sunshine, we are getting out of the house less (guilty!), etc. Well, it said that bananas are made up of nutrients that can actually make you feel happier. I've been eating one a day for a week because I could really use a lift in winter spirits.
