Wino Wednesdays
Most Wednesdays for the past couple of months a few of us ALT’s from Omagari get together at one of our houses for a little wine, food , and conversation. It goes a little something like this....
Meet at about 730 each of us bring a bottle of wine and a side dish. The person hosting is the cook and the food ranges from authentic italian pizza, fried chicken breast, to pasta and shrimp. Always delicious and fulfilling. We crack open a bottle of wine and let the good times be had, by nine thirty our candle is pretty well lit, we are almost finished with bottle number four and each of us is clawing at the last remaining pieces of desert (something chocolate). Its around nine thirty that we realize four bottle s of wine was not enough for four people...especially with Katelynn around! So we end up going to the convenience store and picking up some more....Now you would think we would learn our lesson and buy more the next time. No such luck, we all pretend that we are going to take it easy and go home early. So we usually pick up another bottle or two, maybe we decide to go with beers instead, and one fateful night we decided to buy Jim Beam! Yikes...its safe to say the next morning was not pleasant after that decision.
No matter the hangover or the lack of sleep that is a result of Wino Wednesdays it is always good for the soul. The conversation always makes us laugh (teasing alex), angry (talking politics), and confused (bec brain). It feels good, especially in the winter to be sharing a laugh during the week with friends.
The winter here (yes its winter for an Arizonian) can get you down. I can already tell its going to be a long four months of cold, snow, early days, and long nights. I look forward to many more Wino Wednesdays! Lets enjoy Wino Wednesdays together (Japanese people love saying this phrase in English, it always makes me laugh).
