cookies and wine go better together than cookies and milk.
last week, I got my finger slammed (and locked) in the car door. I self-medicated with sea salt chocolate.
the other night I almost left Adam at Lowe’s because he was being bossy…but then I realized he had my credit card.
capers freak me out.
I called it a night at 12:15 on New Years Eve because I couldn’t stop thinking about the s’more tart on the counter…and because my feet hurt.
I miss uncle jessie.

bossy men… grrrrr. Lowe’s brings that out in men, I think. Nothing like a hardware store to make a normal guy go all dominant.
cookies + wine DO = a match made in heaven. a couple months ago, i vegetable peeled half my fingernail off… TMI? i feel your pain girly.
I was in BED by 12:10 on NYE…because I’m lame now and I get up at 6 AM every day.
Cookies and Wine are the ultimate antidote to a long day at work though don’t you know?
Love the close-up shot of you two!
If by Uncle Jesse you mean John Stamos….. I watch Full House everyday. And if I’m not near the TV, I DVR it.
I live a sad life.
Bahahaha sometimes I answer the phone “Talk to me!” as a subtle homage to Uncle Jesse
Clearly, self-medicating with chocolate is the best way to go… can you imagine self-medicating with both your chocolate AND your decadent fig newtons? Mmm.
I won’t even go into a hardware store with my boyfriend 9 times out of 10. It’s his domain. I have Sur La Table, he has Home Depot. It works.
as always, these posts make me smile
love,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
Now I have s’more tart on my mind
Everyone says I should like capers but they kind of freak me out too
Omigeez to the finger slam thing! I’m still wincing for you
LOVE the part about almost leaving him at Lowe’s…there’s been many a time Nate’s almost been left because he sits and analyzes every option for TOO long! good thing i love that man
i was at a wedding rehearsal dinner for new years, and the bride and her friends (including me) wanted to do a fake new year at 11pm. but sadly, we were vetoed by her family and the groom’s side.
uncle jessie is wonderful! a bar by campus (at UT) used to post fliers with his picture that said something about the bar being just as awesome as his hair. they cracked me up every time i saw one!
haha, uncle jessie. Those were the days.
LOVE the picture at the end!
I gotta disagree with you on #1. Cookies go much better with milk b/c you can’t dunk cookies in wine…or you really shouldn’t.
Now, dark chocolate and wine is a different story.
“I almost left Adam at Lowe’s because he was being bossy…but then I realized he had my credit card.” – I’m sorry, but I cracked up at this! booo bossiness! Can’t say that I’m not guilty of it though. Oh, I totally agree about the wine and cookies part, and hope your finger feels better!
Is there ANYTHING that doesn’t go great with wine? If so…I haven’t found it.
Capers freak me out a bit too!
You and Adam make the cutest stinkin’ couple.
These posts are some of my favorites. Love learning more about the people behind the blog!
These made me smile
besides the finger, ouch! – although fabulous self-medication move there, sister

Uncle Jessie? As in, Full House?? ME TOO!!! I also miss “stephanie” with her “how RUDE” saying. Haha
I did that to my thumb in a car door a few years ago. However, there was lots of bourbon involved so I didn’t feel much! Don’t worry–I was the passenger. haha. Lost a nail to that incident.
I think your last confession should have been: I miss making music videos with Tina and AnneP.
I actually hate capers!! They totally gross me out.
I could so go for a glass of wine right about now.
I went to bed shortly after midnight too. Actually, I think the only reason I made it to midnight is because I was at a party.
Cookies & Wine…what a perfect combo! Love that!!!
“HAVE MERCY…” I do too.
“HAVE MERCY…” I do too.
Hahaha! I woulda left him at Lowe’s anyways.
These past 7 confessions have made me laugh out loud. Thank you for sharing parts of your life that I can definitely relate to!!! I really laughed hard at the part about the butter in culinary school….did anyone ever find out? Hahahaha – awesome!
I completely agree with the last three statements. I still love me some John Stamos to this day!
I am afraid to try capers. They look weird. What do they taste like??
I called it a night at 12:05 on NYE. Ha!
I’ve had the same dilemma, but at Home Depot:)
You guys photography so beautifully! That photo looks old and new at the same time.
I agree with all these things.
Especially to Uncle Jessy. *Sigh*. Full House was such a classic.
Finger stuck and LOCKED in the door!?? Sounds like a good excuse for sea salt chocolate, cookies AND wine in one sitting if you ask me. Poor you!!!
you should try a glass of wine with a bowl of cereal–that was my Friday ritual for about 3 months last year… mmmmmmm.
I love this little series you have going : )
Haha, believe it or not, caper freak me out as well.
I love these lil confessions!

At our home we celebrated New Year’s at 9 p.m. with the east coast folks! The kids totally loved it and my husband and I did also. I can’t make it to midnight unless I’m out and about. Happy New Year to you:) LOVE cookies and wine!
That’s a great picture! I, too, get annoyed when boys are being bossy
These are my FAVORITE posts!!!! I love them!
Absolutely Hilarious I would have left the Husband at Lowe’s for sure!
I love every installment of this series and your cookies + wine confession is clearly true. Red wine is heart-healthy, after all!
now i want s’mores tart too….
Hey, at least your made it to midnight… unlike someone I know
Lowe’s is like day-care for men, just drop them off and come back in 2 hrs! hehe.
Chocolate is definitely the best medicine when you slam your fingers in the car door.
Love your confessions, always so much fun
Aww your poor finger! That sounds like it hurt! So it actually was smashed in there and you had to unlock it? *shudders*
I’ll take the cookie! You can keep the wine.
Yall are so cute!
I love this series, Jen-na!
This post made my night.
haha, yeah I only lasted 12:15 on New Years Eve…because I’d stayed up til after 2am the night before and my baby doesn’t sleep in, like at all so I was up at 7 both mornings. I don’t think I’ve caught up yet.
Full House reference? I love it!
Oh gosh Jenna – so sorry about your finger! I still remember the last time I did that…probably ten years ago. But I still remember it like it was yesterday. Hope yours is better now!
Cookies and wine sounds like a perfect Valentine’s Day date.
I totally love that!
Uncle Jesse? Ultimate hottie. I gotta try cookies with wine…
I have actually left my husband at a place once when he was being bossy. Or other words I won’t type. This was like 10 years ago. He learned his lesson. haha!
Sorry about your finger!
I miss Uncle Jesse!!!!!!!!!!
I go see really bad movies just because John Stamon is in them!
AND I totally storm of out of places about twice a month because my fiancee has ruffled my sensitive feathers. Then I remember he has the keys, or the money or I realise that maybe that glass of pinot made me a little irrational… and refusing to order exactly what I want him to, so I can have a bite, isnt the WORST crime known to man.
xox
Totally had finger slammed in locked car door too when I was a kid. Kmart parking lot. Frozen Coke helped self medicate. And 6 stitches.
Am I the only one who thought the reference was for Uncle Jessie from The Dukes of Hazard??
Cookies and wine yum.
I miss Uncle Jessie!!!!
Capers + sardines: I like to pretend they don’t exist.
My sophomore year of college my roommate and I would meet back at our dorm every day at lunch time to watch Full House. This song —>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFww7t_EU5M&NR=1 <— still brings back memories of watching TV with my family on Friday night…remember TGIF? Ah..good times.
bahahahaha! bossy boys, so silly.
and holy crap, i thought i was the only one who was terrified of capers! they are so creepy! same with olives. they can both go on a deserted island, far away from me for all i care.
