#2 SINGLE & MISERABLE

December 1st,

 Dear Diary,

Oh I feel so sad and lonely! Christmas is around the corner and I have no man to spoil. It’s cold outside and I have no one to hug. And with all the cheesy, fairytale-like city lightning… it’s like it’s a romantic movie set and I’m walking there alone. A lone wolf. A lone, single wolf. A lone single and fat wolf (I am eating a whole box of cookies as I’m writing; Can you not see the crumbs on the paper?)

Man! I ‘m so miserable and pathetic! Yesterday I baked myself a chocolate cake and ate it all and drank half a bottle of Maury on my own.

The girls have tried to comfort me with a good bottle of Fleurie saying it’s more elegant than to drink San Miguel (like P. had done after being dumped a couple weeks ago). But who are they trying to convince? I mean, C. confessed later she felt so down the other night that she drank on purpose a big red new world Syrah bottle on an empty stomach to further wallow in her sorrow…. At least I’m not alone to be lonely.

I guess that should comfort me? That and my Mas Amiel Maury. 

Ok. I’m pathetic AND a drunk. From now on if I need chocolate I’ll drink it hot, with milk.

WHERE ARE THE MEN???????

I just want to be Amoureuse again…. You know, like a Chambolle-Musigny. Is that too much to ask for?

#.1 SINGLE & BUBBLY

August 10th,

 Dear Diary,

 Oh I love the summer time! The weather is just amazing, the sun is out and so are the lovely boys. (héhéhé!)

To celebrate what we call ‘the hunks summer outing’ (that is all the boys in light clothes and their ripped tanned muscles out), my single girlfriends and I have decided to throw a big dinner party!

We started with a toast to being single and fabulous with a winy and bubbly Montlouis called Les Loges de la Folie  that E. & I. drank so fast we had to open C.’s Zero Dosage by Tarlant: its delicate bubbles contributed to making us feel even happier!

I had baked my goat cheese & honey pastry with salad, a summer’s favorite!,  and V. brought what she called a ‘sexy chenin’ that definitely hit the spot. Cool minerality and honey notes… deliciousness in our plates and glasses!

 We gossiped and laughed for hours then we went out and danced the night away*. P. & I had rehearsed some crazy moves all afternoon on Prince and we were so ready to party!  Yeah baby!

What a glorious night!

 Ps: I so wouldn’t want to be in a relationship right now. I mean, what are men for? It’s so much better to enjoy my girlfriends’ company and being caressed by nothing less but champagne bubbles….
