Notepad: Dearly Beloved I Thee Red...

Dearly beloved I thee red...
"back to the earth"

I would thee RED!  I may never wed but I would definitely RED.  The allure of the image dropped me into imaging myself in Day of the Dead make up for the upcoming halloween.  My friends all say its difficult to figure out what to be and without planning I agree.  However, you can be a Day of the Dead doll every year and it be something new and exciting.

Perhaps the creators were going for that timeless earthy taste when developing this wine?  Or perhaps they were going for making a wine thats guzzle-able.  I had to resist just devouring this wine as it was super smooth and aromatic.  Fruity, earth and smooth.... sounds yummy ey!

Lists!

Who doesn't love a good list?

It will make you feel supported, on track, organized and integrated with the idea.  On October 24, 2012, a group of gals got together and after months of contemplating how to distill the ideas into one title it came to us, "Guzzling Gals."

As I explained to the other gals how the word "guzzling" was defined by my senses they agreed that it was the goldilocks word at the perfect place between, sensual and sexual experiences.  It's too far to be sensing because you are over drinking it in if you are guzzling and yet I feel I don't feel I need to explain how it relates sexually... even at the most seductive level.

So us Guzzling Gals decided we would love to poor our senses into you hoping we inspire each other as we have been amongst ourselves for years.  Smell, taste, see, feel and most important listen... to your life.

So the list...  it will keep unfolding.
