If Only I Drank Wine

I spotted this bottle while grocery shopping with my kids (See also: reason #347 to drink wine…preferably WHILE SHOPPING). But alas, I can’t drink wine anymore.

30 Days of Truth – Something I Love About Myself

So, as you’ve probably heard by now…Katy Perry taped a segment for Sesame Street, people complained and they scrapped it—all over the internet, people sounded off on the story.
