#Olympics Hangover...

I know I promised a wrap-up post on my #Olympic obsession today, but the little gray cells are not quite ready for that yet; let's go with a 'reality' post instead:





So... I guess my Olympics hangover was a tad worse than I thought. I woke up at 12PM today, yes you read that correctly, NOON. Confession: okay, I didn't go to bed until 2AM, but I am not a great sleeper, so TEN hours of uninterrupted sleep is completely out of the ordinary for me. Hmmm... if sleeping-in were an Olympic event, I might have medaled today! <Note to Self: begin drafting letter to IOC immediately.>

After checking the time on my phone and registering that it was, in fact NOON, I sprang out of bed like an Olympic vaulter. <Note to Self: train for 2016?> Alas, this idea didn't last long as I promptly tripped and fell on my face. Ah, back to reality...



Next, I thought I might throw a load in the wash, but remembered it really is best for me to ALWAYS begin my day with coffee (even at noon) so I headed to the kitchen instead. This was definitely a multi-k-cup day so I grabbed my favorite GIANT mug -- we're talking a minimum TWO k-cups to fill people -- and proceeded to caffeinate. The fog began to lift! It was still a little hazy though, so I went for a second round; good thing I added to my k-cup hoard yesterday. =)

After spending some time job hunting (a.k.a web-surfing since my brain is out of order today) I remembered that my awesome Sister and Brother-In-Law were taking me to The Switz for a food and wine pairing dinner, so I jumped into the shower <Note to Self: hurdles 2016?> and proceeded to try to find an outfit for the evening. I'm not sure if any of you are like me, but choosing an outfit can destroy an entire room if I'm not careful; I wasn't careful today.



Anyway, dinner was FANTASTIC! Six delicious courses paired with Rooster Hill wines; I must admit, NY State wines have come a long way over the last few years. If you like dry whites, you should definitely try their Chardonnay and Dry Riesling. Did I mention how awesome my Sister and Brother-In-Law and are? Seriously, I am grateful each and every day for my amazing family. It's wonderful to celebrate with them in the good times and lean on them in the bad; having their constant support makes this undefined part of the journey bearable too... Cheers to all of you!
