Vignette :: My Christmas Story

As noted in the previous post, I'm sick of cleaning up poop {mostly dog}, blood {all dog}, vomit {all human} and pee {mostly dog}. I had a semi-bad attitude all day and gave Ali a hard time. I told her how I really felt.

Me:: I'm sick to death of piss, shit and blood. I'm DONE.

Ali:: But you're supposed to care for your family!

Me:: I do care. But I want to go back to work now. . .

Ali:: What kind of attitude is that??

Me:: I just made your dinner didn't I?? You're having ramen noodles. I'm having a box of wine! Now leave me alone for five minutes will ya'?

Ali:: Nice. {heading into the bathroom}

five minutes later

Ali:: {coming out of the bathroom, trying not to grin} Honey. . .

Me:: What?

Ali:: My bottom really hurts. I think it needs some ointment. . . {she can't help but laugh now}

Me:: How many ways can I possibly say HELL NO????

And will someone out there please bring me another box of wine. . .pretty please. . .

I could bring you more wine. You are one of my oldest and dearest friends, but I WILL NOT rub ointment on Ali's butt. Hell I won't even rub ointment on my own wife's ass. I am always here for ya, I will try to make you laugh. Sending you lots of love.

Once again, while reading your blog, I've realized what a sheltered life I've led.

Thanks.

No, really.

Dear Columbus Wino,

I'm broke. I have three dogs. I have to drink wine from a box. . . since they do dumb things like require surgery on Christmas Eve!!

I like sort of sweet wine. Color is irrelevant because, clearly I have no taste! =)

Your Friend,

1) Boxes preserve wine much better than bottles. They don't allow air into the wine, which allows it to stay drinkable for at least a month. Assuming you can keep it around that long.
2) A nice buttery chardonnay is great from a box.
3) I SURE hope that things have improved at your house!!
4) Lots of love from our house!
