“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink,
I feel shame.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

Ever the voice of reason, Natalie Cole decided to let the world know that Amy Winehouse winning at the Grammys sends out a bad message. Awwww…. Someone needed attention.
The Grammys award talent (which Amy has in spades exponentially.) Last I heard (and I will admit I got bored with it and dropped ‘Grammys 101′ during my freshman quarter, so I could* be wrong) they are not based on your personal life, a department that Natalie must be lacking in. Otherwise, why create such a WEAK platform for having your opinion heard?
Ms. Cole had her own nasty drug problem back in the 80’s. But, I digress.
So, I propose a new slang phrase to y’all:
‘The Natalie of the Week Award’ (def): Any behavior that is deemed to be socially, or even personally, unacceptable.
As in: WOW, Brittney Spears won The Natalie of the Week Award for forgetting to wear her undies again!
* That was just to be diplomatic. Of course I’m not wrong.
Wow. It has been one rough day.
A sleepless night, followed a day of ‘blah’ that invovled being ill and working and feeling like I just could not get anything accomplished. Now, I am in super study mode gearing up for tomorrow’s lab practical desperately wanting to crawl into bed.
But, I will tough it out and study till I fall asleep on my book. I’m good like that.
Coming up soon will be the MeFi Cincinnati Leap Year Meetup… and everyone is welcome to join in!
