Re: Sober posting
So close today - opened the bottle of wine and got most of the way through it but then my husband came and drank the last two glasses and I just didn't have the heart to open a new bottle. And whatever the amount was up to the last two glasses was just slightly insufficient. Fun project though - I w...
