Winners & Losers
It isn't just the stock market that has winners and losers every day. Life works that way too!
WINNER: Bella Pro 2-slice toaster ($34.99, Best Buy) I picked one up last night and I love how it toasts Thomas's English muffins just right with the bagel setting.
LOSER: I picked up a pre shave made with essential oils but I threw it out after one use out of fear it'd damage my ARC 5 shaver.
WINNER: When I use the ARC 5 without a pre shave lotion or Lectric Shave, it doesn't pull hairs or seriously irritate my skin like Norelco shavers did back in the day.
LOSER: Don't look at your 401k accounts, y'all. It's getting bad out there.
WINNER: I've settled on Dr. Scholl's heavy duty inserts to address my foot issue with my cross trainers. Now I don't need to buy new shoes.
LOSER: I can't buy any more wine until I start drinking my collection. The higher temperatures mean I have to store them in the fridge, and I have room for only four bottles.
WINNER: This week's bottle is great by itself, and also with chipotle gouda cheese and crackers. I still have to try it with salmon and chicken before I pass final judgment.
LOSER: Me? I got so far behind with my J-Novel Club reading that I had to drop all but one of the new series I picked up in recent weeks.
WINNER: I finished reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens last night, so I have the rest of the month to read whatever I want.
LOSER: As Spo said, it doesn't end well.
WINNER: Motorsport.TV is officially broadcasting Super GT with English commentary once again.
LOSER: How much will my annual subscription renew for tomorrow?
The great thing about red wine is that you don’t have to keep it refrigerated!

Unless you live in a home without AC. I noticed the indoor temperature was creeping up to 80 degrees so I had to put everything in the fridge so they wouldn't cook. That's the one drawback about this 2025 Wines challenge.
DeleteHow fun that you are reading a lot of old classics. I have a stack to read also but can't seem to find the time. Summer is coming and that is usually when I sit outside and read a lot. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day as well. I try to read one classic a month.
Deletei think we've talked about wine fridges before, but check this article out: https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/kitchen/best-wine-fridges I don'tknowhow much space you have, but free standing ones come in a lot of different sizes. We working on restocking ours now! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had room here. I had to eject my KitchenAid stand mixer from the kitchen to make room for the toaster.
Deletetut! time to buy a wine fridge. They come in various sizes too.
