Drink Up!

This business of the sun setting at 4:30pm catches me off gaurd EVERY year. It's not a new concept- happens each time we set our clocks back in the fall, yet it never ceases to confuse me. I find myself shuttin' the day's activities down at around 3:45 when it looks dusk. My body tells me to eat (well it always tells me to eat, who am I kidding)dinner at about 5:15pm like I'm 68 years old. Some evenings I settle into the couch with PJs on at about 6:30pm as if it was about to be bed time. I'll glance up at the clock and think "what the HELL is going on here?" It ammuses me that it still catches me off gaurd like it's a new phenomena.

A highlight of my day: Reading an article Kevin sent me that discussed the benefits of red wine on your health. We've all heard that a glass of wine is apparently good for you, but this was a detailed account of what wine can protect against, prevent and the amount of wine per day that studies have shown a person should drink in order to reap these rewards. TWO glasses a day for a man and one a day for a woman. TWO GLASSES A DAY!

Here I was thinking that it might be shameful to drink a couple glasses of wine during the week while I watch TV at home... by myself. Who knew it was warding off more than my seasonal affective disorder! Just kidding, but rock-on that red wine is good for me and not just in half-a-glass doses.

I'm waiting for a study to come out that proves the benefits of combining and subsequently consuming a mixture of vodka and tonic water (with a lime wedge). Then I'll be SET!

Cheers (to your health)
