Jennifer Finnell · 1:03 AM

So...in preparation for Mother's Day, I am drinking wine. You all?
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:04 AM

That's dedication, Sean - I bought mine on the liquor clearance rack at the grocery store. lol
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:04 AM

Draft prep?
MW

Molly Wolfgram · 1:04 AM

Draft time is serious.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:05 AM

Ahhh...football. Thanks for clarifying. I think all things "draft" have to do with beer. :)

JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:06 AM

So, do we all have super-awesome Mother's Day gifts picked out for this weekend? I'm guessing not, since we're all here drinking instead of shopping. But have no fear - the Winos are here to help!
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:07 AM

lol, Molly! I'm switching to beer tonight. No reason, other than I apparently need to rebel occasionally (still) - even against myself.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:07 AM

Good boy, Sean! Moms like wine. It makes us better - certainly more patient - mothers. :)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:08 AM

MW

Molly Wolfgram · 1:12 AM

I don't think those would work for the coffee mugs my parents regularly drink their Carlo Rossi sangria from so I'd have to go with the stemless charms :)
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:12 AM

I'm sure that was the best gift ever, JD! Molly - nice! Unfortunately, I believe we made our mother immune to shame or embarrassment many years ago, so resisting the urge to humiliate family really goes unnoticed at this point.
JF

Jennifer Finnell · 1:12 AM
