10:10 a.m. – My room does a quick spin as I am jolted awake from my wine comma. It’s literally like a shock wave hitting the apartment every time someone rings our buzzer. As I roll over to my bedside clock, it blurs back to me saying, “its UPS…it’s always UPS this early...get up”. With a half-rushed stumble to the door, I mumble into the intercom, “Top floor, please!” Despite my urgency to buzz him in, he simply entered the lobby and then left. There were no stammering footsteps this morning, the staircase remained silent, there will be no request to, "sign here"… You've got to love Mondays.
10:12 a.m. – Back in bed…fast asleep.
11:15 a.m. - Last night’s wine daze has
finally ran its course.
11:20 a.m. – Package is retrieved. Send pictures of new pillows to wife at work
for approval. She loves them…good job…nap time on the couch with new pillows.
12:30 p.m. – I wake
to the ringing off our landline…it’s GlobalEnglish…aka…wifey on lunch break. “Guess
what?” she says, “we’re booked for Rio!!!” I act as if I wasn’t asleep and get
very excited by yelling, “Yeah! Carnival, here we come!!” This was our honeymoon destination and has been
in the works for a while, but now it
was official and called for a celebration.
4:50 p.m. - Wifey returns home from work. I greet her with a chilled bottle of champagne
accompanied with a big smile and say, “Carnivall!!” For this occasion,
Jean Aubrey and Fils was the proper bottle.
24/7 – Always keep a nice bottle of champagne stashed in a cupboard. You never know when your average Mondaze can turn into a celebration!
