The pain face

So this is the face I make when I laugh so hard that I stop breathing. This isn't even the worst of it because I was already trying to hyperventilate myself back to normal. This pain face was brought on by my drunk husband being well, drunk. It was documented by my mean friends. That they were trying to take a picture of me just made it worse.

Technology has failed me

So, you might be wondering where my video well...
Friday I had wine as usual and was even a bit more tipsy because I had worked out right before we started drinking. I brought my laptop home and brought my webcam box but it turns out that my webcam was not in that box, only the accessories. So I tried to use my husband's webcam but he didn't have a program and rather than download a program, I tried to record direct to YouTube. Well, it cut me off so only some of the questions got answered. If your question did not make it on this program, it will be on the next one.
Oh yes, there will be a next one. If only to prove that I am not idiot and that technology will not get the best of me.

So enjoy.....

Submit your problem

So if you have a problem or a question that you want answered, submit it in the comments on this post. I will make a video log featuring the answers during this weeks wine and pizza Friday and post it here.

Jen answers your questions with wine

I was so inspired recently that I decided to act on one of my crazy ideas. I am going to help people with their problems while I drink. See Regretsy had this post where April is answering questions then I saw My Drunk Kitchen cook while drinking. I had an idea! I will combine my favorite things of giving others advice while drinking. It will also allow me to use my new webcam which I bought for online dance classes.

So, one Friday. I am going to post here and on my facebook and people can leave their questions in the comments area. During wine and pizza Friday, I will make a video of me answering them. So if it works out then I will do it again.

My new favorite thing

Sometimes the Googles reads my mind and gives me suggestions. The other day it said, here I think you will like this. And boy did I ever. If you like drinking (and if you don't I doubt that we are friends) and you like food (again, seriously), then you will love My Drunk Kitchen. For real watch it. Brunch and Tacos are my favorites.

I think I need to quit being so "I can only blog if it is fantastic" I mean
1. I am always fantastic
2. This pressure is stopping me from doing the things that I am best at: rambling, being funny and forcing my opinions on other people.
I started just writing on my other blog whenever I had anything to say and that seems to be working out. I also don't need to be hung up on having pictures. I read lots of blogs without pictures in every post.
