conversations in the shower
the following conversation took place in our bathroom this morning. i was blow-drying my hair, paul was in the shower…
me: so i’m thinking of doing this week’s “wine of the week” as a beer cuz of the yummy dessert beer we had the other night.
paul: uh huh… (tone is entirely uninterested in what i have to say)
me: but i feel like i’m betraying my own kind, ya know, going from wine to beer…
paul: well, not really because your site is “My Bottle’s Up!” but you don’t specify which bottle. (tone sounds slightly more interested cuz now we’re talking his territory… BEER.)
me: yeah, but this would be in my “wine of the week” section, like the sidebar, with all the other wines i’ve posted about. i just feel bad, ya know?
paul: there is beer that is called wine… seriously, it’s called “barley wine” and it’s a type of beer.
i stop my hair-dryer, roll my eyes dramatically at him since he can’t see me through the shower curtain and think to myself “ok smart-ass.”
me: ok, so how about we do this instead… i’ll just write a post about the yummy dessert beer. you can write it with me. it’ll be fun.
paul: it’s not “yummy dessert beer,” it’s “stone imperial russian stout.”
(as if i should know this, like been taught it when i was taught my times tables in 3rd grade.)
paul: for the record, good beer is not something you buy in a case, or has the word “light” in it.
me: uh… ok, so about the post…
paul: i’ll have to do my research and we can work on it while we drink the stone imperial russian stout tonight.
me: that works.
******
so take a looksie to the right, scroll on down, and check out this week’s “wine” of the week…

Did you write this while drunk, lovely? Because I’m wondering what 3th is. hehehe
You guys are too cute. I think I will look for that beer. xoxo
BUSTED!!!!! @Kellee hahaha… slightly… um 3rd grade. will correct. and thanks for being my editor.
i’m a total beer snob. wine? meh. i like manischewitz, ya know? but beer? that stone imperial russian stout sounds good.
Nice!
In our house it’s the exact opposite though. I was in the beer aisle at Publix the other day, and a stock guy asked me what I was looking for. “Two things: Magic Hat No. 9 and PBR.” He gives me a very strange look. I say, “Trust me, I have good taste in beer, but I cannot speak for my husband and his PBR.” He smiles and loads up my cart for me.
Ain’t nothing wrong with drunk blogging.
I must side with Paul on this one, but of course. A)The beer is amazing, no question there, I’m sure. B)The word “yummy” should never be used as a beer adjective. You should know that knowing our love of beer. I think Paul should have a guest feature on the site, as Beer of the Week, for those of us who aren’t quite the wine connoisseurs. Just a thought.
…then again… you could simply have “bottle of the week”?!
(Which would only be a problem if you decided on a can of beer or the dreaded BOX o’Wine…. which I highly doubt you would.)
I like both beer and wine. They both have a place… and so does liquor…. so… My vote is for “Bottle of the Week”
I can’t see the word “imperial” without thinking “Imperial Storm Troopers”. As in Star Wars.
I may need therapy.
