I Drank Drunk Gnats

We've had a swarm of gnats in the house the past couple days (probably because we left doors open and crumbs out). Last night, I discovered a bottle of wine that had been opened the previous night had not been closed. At first I was sad face, but then I was happy face when I tried it and it did not taste like vinegar. I proceeded to enjoy a couple glasses with dinner. While enjoying my third post dinner glass, I set it down briefly. When I picked it back up, I noticed a few gnats floating around in it. My reaction was, "OMG, look how many gnats flew into my wine in the brief time it was sitting on the table." Justin's reaction was, "Are you sure those gnats didn't fly into the wine bottle that had been sitting open on the counter all night?" I instantly knew he had to be right and my stomach dropped. I peaked into the bottle and saw that a few extra ingredients had indeed found their way into the wine. My excitement over it not turning to vinegar was quickly replaced again with sad face for being turned into gnat swimming pool and the thought of how many little protein pills I had just ingested.

But really, it isn't that bad except I just have an extra step now before I drink the rest of the wine: gnat fishin'!

I've been inspired...

to start blogging again. It's a shame this didn't happen sooner because the past year has had some gems (I went to Italy for one).
