Well, I thought I should post something today in fear of you crazy commenters taking over my blog. Sheesh! Please remember that all comments should be in regard to my blog. The only exception to this rule is if you want to talk about how hilarious and super sweet I am. So, let's keep on track people! The topic of my drinking log came up amidst the comments, so I thought I'd post that today. This also conveniently recounts the week I got engaged...

Friends birthday celebration
People: the Birthday boy, B-day boy’s sister and her husband, me, and my boyfriend
Dinner at Bennie’s Mexican restaurant – two margaritas ($15/pitcher – 5 in pitcher)
Bar hopping after
People: Same as above, including an extra friend who joined
Drinks: two glasses of Cabernet ($6/glass)
At the end of the night I got into a heated debate about violence with the birthday boy himself. I probably would have let it go if I hadn’t had a few.

Golfing

I played the best game of my life! (of course I’d only played twice before)
Dinner: Pasquini’s Restaurant,
People: my boyfriend and I
Drinks: Two glasses of Sangria ($18/pitcher) with my Portobello Pizetta
Had dinner and went for a little walk through the neighborhood, where my boyfriend unexpectedly proposed, and I accepted (decision not affected by Sangria / the crying that accompanied may have been – undetermined).
After-Engagement Party: Fiancé’s (formerly boyfriend’s) apartment
People: Fiancé, his roommate, his parents, and his three sisters
Drink: One glass of champagne ($?) with Strawberry pie
Greeted my new family members, and recounted my surprise that my fiancé had kept this from me for two months, and laughed about sending my mother an article earlier in the day about how more and more people are waiting till their 30’s to get married, so she would stop harassing me to get married.

Dinner: at home
People: my fiancé and I
Drink: One glass of Pinot Noir with dinner (Chicken pesto sandwich with corn on the cob) ($8/bottle)
Fiance’s friend’s farewell poker party
People: my fiancé, me, a bunch of people from his hockey team, some neighbors
Drinks: About five beers (approximation, the host kept refilling my glass all night) ($? – they had a keg). Got on the computer on myspace and facebook and started leaving messages for random friends telling them that I was engaged. (Couldn’t remember who I wrote to or what I wrote later on). Left my myspace page logged in and the party host and a friend of his went in and changed my profile to include a bunch of inappropriate comments.

You are super sweet and hilarious. My favorite part - the change from boyfriend to fiance'.
4 oz of wine, 100 calories, I'll let you figure ou the connections between Naomi's last 2 blog postings...skinney up indeed. Dad
Dude. It's Benny's, not Bennie's!
Can I get the backstory on the drinking log? One of our resolutions is to drink less- not because I think we're total boozers, but more that I fear we blow too much money on drinks. So was the intent of this little experiment to figure out how much you spend on delicious bevvies, what kind of silly things the alcohol prompts (myspacing at parties?), or as your dad implies, how many extra calories are hindering your quest for skinniness?
In any case, I still think you're super sweet. :)
I was asked to keep a drinking log by a woman at Marie Claire. The point of her piece was to show when women drink, and what they do, and how much they spend - at least that's what I think it was. I don't think it was a calorie study - thank God. But, I think the idea got tossed. Probably cause my log was ridiculous. So, that's why I had to publish the log myself! :)
If you got pregnant before the wedding, you would save a lot of money on not drinking! Ann
In reference to the beginning of the blog where we were reprimanded for not keeping our comments to the subject or Naomi compliments, I just wanted to remind you that thinking you're the center of the universe is a preschool concept so.......... time to grow up before you get married!
I would like to remind you of the blog title: "Naomi, I know you know me!" - it's crystal clear....
After all the drinking news...
Hear the one about the new wine for Seniors Who have just discovered this blog:
California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produces Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night.
The new wine will be marketed as...
