After a long, hard week of getting up, going to work, doing workish stuff, THREE DAYS OF INSANITY (soon to be four), don’t you feel like we deserve some magical bubbly deliciousness? Because I definitely do.
Now, it’s no secret that I like to imbibe in delicious alcohol-y goodness. It’s also no secret that I’m really not that picky when it comes to beverages. Sure, most days I would prefer wine or a nice vodka soda, but I will always love some gin, and some whiskey, a beer, and pretty much whatever else as long as it doesn’t taste like licorice (sorry to my Greek friends) and it isn’t too creamy, although even that’s not a hard stop.
Keeping all that in mind, there are very few days that I love more than Champagne Thursdays. There is something simply glorious and all-encompassing about taking a not-quite-weekend day and popping open a magnum of bubbly and forgetting that anything bad even exists. If you have enough bubbles, all the goodness is possible. Your brain can float in a golden sea of happiness and possibility and it’s impossible to frown when you’re holding a champagne flute. Impossible. All you can really do is throw your head back, laugh, and be in love with the Universe.
So that’s my assignment for y’all tonight. Go and grab a bottle. It doesn’t need to be real champagne because I’m fully aware that budgets exist. Get some nice sparkling wine or whatever. But pop it open and CELEBRATE. Because it’s Champagne Thursday and everything little thing is gonna be alright.
And if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by. Because when I’m finished getting all dehydrated from Insanity, I’m rehydrating with champers and that’s a recipe for fun.
I never use a flute for my bubbly, because the glasses are just too small. It would make more trips to the fridge to fill up, and frankly, my legs can’t handle it. I may just use a straw tonight out of necessity.
That’s all part of my workout plan! But I can see that you’re trying to make me feel guilty about the squats, so I’ll let you win this one. Use your straw. I LOVE YOU NO MATTER HOW YOU DRINK!
I love you too. Good thing, or I would command the squats on all the people you love for generations to come.
Imagine how AMAZING their asses would be!
Almost amazing as mine BETTER be by the end of this.
It WILL be.
But I know what you mean. I think that through the ENTIRE FUCKING INSANITY WORKOUT. This shit better make me IMMACULATE.
Anita, why am I just finding about this Thursday night ritual?? How glorious! I have a cheap bottle of champagne in the fridge. Looks like I’ll be dusting off my flute tonight!!
The ONLY thing that could have made today better, would be celebrating it with you. My dear, beautiful, glorious friend…my first toast tonight will be to thank the Universe for bringing us together, albeit so far apart. YAY FOR CHEAP CHAMPAGNE AND GORGEOUSNESS!!!
Also, “dusting off my flute” made me giggle. Because champagne also makes me feel very sexy…
I couldn’t resist slipping that one in . . .
“Slipping that one in…” you’re KILLING me over here, sister!
**I’m blushing now** That last play on words was unintentional. Pinky promise. Guess my sub-conscience has a mind of its own!!
Also, what brands do you recommend? I usually stick to my dark wines. P.S. I’ll be thinking of you tonight when I pop open that bubbly. Save a spot for me on the couch–I’ll be there in spirit. Cling cling . . .
I love Veuve Clicquot, but tonight I’ll be drinking Martini Asti Spumante because that’s what’s in the fridge.
Ooohhh!! I’ve never heard of Veuve Clicquot–SO VERY FRENCH. That just oozes with sexiness.
Right? It makes me feel very sexy when I’m drinking it.
Lol…you said hard stop…lol
HAHAHAHA that was totally for you!
I get this stuff! http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/49/e6/aa/49e6aaeb7d08ab59d672b566643eca7b.jpg It’s like having champagne and a capri sun at the same time! (Yes, the straws in the photo were obviously added, but each can DOES come with a pre-wrapped straw attached!
