So you have had a shitty stressful day at work and all you can think about is cracking open a nice bottle of red...this is a great way of relaxing...but how many times a week can you drink at home alone before it is counted as having a problem?
Maybe its a social issue and you would just prefer your own company, which is totally fine as long as you aren't getting absolutely spanked at home by yourself at your kitchen bench night after night.
I think one or 2 glasses, possibly 3 depending on how shit your day was and how big your wine glasses are is totally fine. Maybe 2-3 times a week but any more and i think you may have a little problem.
Who doesn't like cooking pasta and giving one glass of red to the sauce and one to yourself?!...drinking is my favourite part of cooking...which is most likely why all my meals taste like crap and will give you a hangover.
If I had one of those amazeballs claw foot baths like one of my girlfriends (who i will not name) who i know substitues dinner for a few beers or wines, i would do the same. I think wine goes hand in hand with a bubble bath, however this is acceptable because she isn't sitting staring at the wall guzzling bottle after bottle.
The booze is also a great mind stimulant for blogging...some of my best posts to date i have come up with when slightly intoxicated.
DISCLOSURE: If you feel you drink at home alone too often please give me a call, I will come and join you and therefore you no longer will feel guilty about boozing on your lonesome...and neither will I!

Happy tequila Tuesday ;)
As i write this post I don't know why but my first mental images on this topis pretty much involve all the girls from Jersey Shore.
These girls actually aren't mutton dressed as lamb because they are only in their mid 20's...they are just girls dressed in slapper clothes who feel that showing their coochie on a daily basis is totally normal.
So picture the Jersey shore girls outfits and put them on a 40 year old cougar and there you have 'Mutton dressed as Lamb'.
There are two types of MDAL -
1. This breed of desperate lady can at times be our worst enemy..seemingly they steal all the half decent men by using their 'assets' they are usually very toned and fit- have most likely had a lot of work done ie. giant fake boobs, and are in what I like to call a halfway to stripper outfit.
Once a bloke has sunk a few drinks and his beer goggles are fully functional this form of MDAL can be extremely appealing and usually these are the ones you will happen to stumble accross in the dark back corner of the room (avoiding the revealing bright lights)
2. This type of MDAL i like to call the Sausage in a stocking breed. They are older ladies trying to re-live their teens by dressing like their young daughter and somehow when looking at their reflection in the mirror seem to miss noticing that all their bodyparts have droopped and they have put on a few kg's since they were in their prime...sausage in a stocking pretty much sums them up.
Basically if you are in your 40's unless you happen to be a Victoria's Secret model please avoid all types of Bodycon clothing not only will you feel better for it but you are saving everyone elses retinas burning.

When you start 'dating' someone it is sometimes hard to read if they are into you or if they consider you to be more of a friend.
This has been happening to a few friends of mine recently and its always a very very thin line deciding if the new dude is into them or not.
One girlfriend has been dating this guy for about a month, he works interstate a fair bit and has to be quite respectable when in public hence his lack of drinking, therefore lack of flirtiness and also lack of smooching.
After 3 dates he still hadn't leant in for the goodnight kiss on the lips...this made my friend question if she had in fact read it all wrong and he was only keen on her company as a friend..well he finally grew some balls and sealed the deal.
My other friend had hooked up with a guy a few times and been on a couple of dates but was questioning his lack of keeness during the week. She would never hear a peep from him until Friday night...to me this SCREAMS booty call which I am sure she isn't complaining about too much.
I think i am guilty of occasionally being an OTT texter, i think its because i seem to have a very weak filter and do things when i feel like it without thinking...a few friends of mine are the type to literally construct a text ie. sit there for an hour and write and re-write the message until they think perfect...then to get no response from the other end possibly because majority of men/boys are just SMS spaz.
Basically this is saying lack of contact (all kinds of contact including bodily) can make you start to question things especially when they are new...so don't stress, enjoy what you have when you have it and chill the eff out.

As a woman we know that we are going to feel like a piece of shit when that week rolls around...basically we know we are being irrational about pretty much every single thing, at the time though we never realise this its when we look back on the previous week and think "wow i was really a complete nutcase".
PMS = Prehistoric Monster Syndrome
A few good pointers for the males that have to be around us while we are devil spawns for a week.
* DO NOT EVER comment on the fact we may look the size of a house due to the fact we are wearing tent-like comfort clothes.
* DO NOT EVER comment on the higher than normal level of crappy reality TV we are watching i.e Kardashians and Real Housewives of Beverley Hills.
* Flowers = winner
* We are always right
* Smother us with compliments even if we get angry at you for saying them
* Lindt chocolates and cheese plates = Also winning
* Worst thing you can ever do is actually mention the fact we are being completely irrational.
*Smile and nodding is your best option
Basically during this week WE are always right, YOU are always wrong and nothing you say or do will change this. Yes we know we are being totally over the top and completely insane but we really can't help it or see it at the time.
Just avoid us and all will be peachy for everyone!
