Is it wrong to drink champagne at 5:30 pm?

Well....is it?  I have a bottle of opened champagne - which, btw, you can keep fresh and sparkly by putting a spoon into the top and letting it dangle.  I don't know why it works but it does.  Try it.  Why waste champagne?

But - we've given the 'laws a break, and come back home from the beach place to our house for a few days.  They'll come back for the weekend before heading back to the snowy Midwest.  

And I think that we're all a little happy and relieved.  My sister-in-law is a great woman, she's really nice and we both married into a quirky family and she's dealt with a lot, blah and etc.

But I now realize that she's a bit of a clean freak and I'm sure that my housekeeping is not up to her standards.  Good news - our little beach place will probably be cleaner than it's ever been.  Bad news - she thinks I'm a sloth.  A sloth who drinks champagne at 5:30 pm.  A drinking sloth with dark roots.  A drinking, dark-rooted sloth who spends too much time on the internet.  A drinking, dark-rooted, blogging sloth who's addicted to reality TV.  A drinking, dark-rooted, blogging reality TV sloth.

That's Lulu.

I like you even more now that I know you drink champagne at 5:30pm with dark roots. I think we just might be kindred spirits.

I'm pretty sure I'd rather hang out with a drinking, dark-rooted, blogging sloth than a clean freak any day of the week!

Wait a minute, you have a BEACH HOUSE? And you drink champagne at 5pm? If I ever come out your way, we are so getting together; I'll bring a few bottles of champagne and a swimsuit.
Don't feel bad about the clean freak sister-in-law, feel bad FOR her. You are obviously a woman who has more fun things to do than clean, hooray!

btw, blogging is the new black, how did you know?

Miss Y - we are definitely kindred spirits!

There is no wrong time to drink champagne!

champagne knows no boundary of time. It is to be sipped or gulped according to occasion at whatever time of the day a celebration is in order-no matter how big or small. Now if you were drinking it at 5:30 am you would just need to add a little orange juice and call it a mimosa. Breakfast of champions!
