Here’s a lil peek into my weekend as told by pictures of my food, bad jokes, random thoughts and other…
I mailed a suitcase. The post office person said they’ve seen it once before (but I still felt super random).
General Mills is busted for sending me cereal the day after my cleanse was over. I had no food in my house so I kinda had to…
This is a bathtub of cereal aka Heaven.
Friday night pondering…
Now, I have a big life milestone I want to share… it’s taken me years to get to this point and I’m very proud to be able to say,
For the first time in my life I drank a whole bottle of wine by myself.
Whaaaatttt?! Yes. Your local Monican drank her first full bottle of wine last night.
I think most of you are surprised I haven’t done this before. But I really only drink on the weekends. And I drink the hard alcs more than wine. So, when I realized there was only a little left in the bottle of white I was sipping I was surprised and then realized this was it, this was my moment.. and I finished it off. Now I feel like a real adult.
I seriously text my best friend to tell her and she was proud. We’re going to celebrate the occasion soon (with more wine of course).
Fun fact: I’ve never had boxed wine before. (Don’t you feel like this is also surprising?! I do.)
Despite my wine drinking extravaganza last night I woke up to run this morning.
And hung out with the Rox after my run. But, I think I’m taking her home soon. She seems over the visit. Boo.

We’re all about the boxed wine over here! Although the kids are teenagers now (well, half of them are anyway) and it’s a bit tougher to monitor if there is any wine being… taken… if it’s in a box. HA! I’ll just have to put the boxed wine beside our bed on the nightstand for safekeeping…
Sara says
OMG you always make me laugh and make a depressing day so much better.
Katherine says
Definitely not time for an intervention! Nice work getting up and sweating it out 🙂
Helen says
Did you know you can get boxed wine handbags.
Keira Leach says
This is my favorite blog! Monica, you’re so beautiful, and the events which stories were so interesting! Sometimes I envy you! Of course good! 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Thank you. xoxox
Lindsey aka Freckles says
I still have yet to accomplish drinking a full bottle of wine to myself. Kudos to you!
I haven’t had boxed wine either. I think I’m a wine snob?
Being_Shortt says
I can’t open a bottle without finishing it… 1 bottle = 4 glasses. No problem. Congrats! (I think, who knows I’m a wino).
runeatrepeat says
Right?! It’s just 4 glasses, people have 4 beers all the time.
MimiDash says
Oh, Monica! We’ve all been there. Besides, if you lived in Paris, it would make complete sense.
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I love it 🙂
Kim Henrichs says
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss wine!
Kathy says
My head just hurts thinking of doing this….wine just doesn’t agree with my head. (My stomach is fine though…ha!) In general I am more of a cold beer kind of girl.
Congrats though and seriously..what took you so long?
Arthi says
Congrats! Welcome to the club 🙂
Plus … If you were on a cleanse before … And then ran a lot the next morning … I’m pretty sure that cancels the wine out anyway!
Deb says
Why did you mail a suitcase? That’s what’s I wanna know….
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I know so random. Ben needed some stuff and he packed the suitcase last time he was here but couldn’t take it with him.
Casey @Waffling says
I had a suitcase mailed to me once from Jamaica when it got left behind (its a long story). But I had the hotel throw out the actual suitcase to save on shipping. So I got a box of clothing that smelled like stale coconuts 3 weeks later.
runeatrepeat says
Ah! Oh no – that’s a funny story though.
Tracey says
If I could count the number of times I’ve drank an entire bottle of wine…. No intervention needed yet. 🙂
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
After a really bad breakup in 2005 I drank a whole bottle of wine by myself and not even realized it. Oh well!
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
I drank an entire bottle of wine (throughout an entire day) at Thanksgiving, annnnnd I stopped drinking shortly thereafter. I was kind of impressed, but kinda of terrified. And now I find out I’m pregnant so it’s really for the best 🙂 no wine for a long time for this mama. Lots of seltzer for me!
runeatrepeat says
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deb says
If finishing a whole bottle of wine by yourself is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. Plus that means I’m wrong way too often! Kudos for still running in the morning!
Cate says
So proud of you for finishing what you started!
