This weekend was epic. Sure, I had to work and it sucked but Saturday night was EPIC. I mean, ridiculously epic. In a way that I rarely use the word epic, let alone four times in the opening paragraph to a blog post.
Saturday night was #WineToReach, a twitter party hosted by the lovely Ashley. I never have participated due to timing but last night I made sure I was around to join in on the party. I’m so glad I did. I started the night by drinking beer and videotaping myself kitchen dancing to some Lady Gaga. If you haven’t seen the video of me embarrassing myself I strongly recommend seeing it.
Then I started drinking more beer and video chatting on TokBox. The vid chat that started with three or four bloggers suddenly morphed into Doni and Chelsea sitting on my couch with champagne video chatting with FIFTEEN other bloggers. It was absolute madness and oh so very much fun, especially when Doni pulled out her computer and we sat side by side, taking turns leaning into each others screens.
Maybe that only entertained us but we were having a blast. We also watched the Labyrinth, Neverending Story and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. I wish there was a video recording of Chelsea and I dancing along to the main song while Doni lay passed out on the floor. A few bloggers did get to witness this though so not all was lost.
I got so drunk and had so so so much fun. I cannot wait til the next #WineToReach and if you haven’t participated in one? You have to next time. I hope video chatting is here to stay!!
So for the past few weeks I’ve been feeling like I’ve been coming down with something. I feel okay but I can tell something is off with my body. I’m constantly tired, I get aches and pains for no particular reason and sometimes I get a sore throat. Then this morning, at around 4am, I woke up, went to use the bathroom and suddenly started feeling not so well. First I thought it was the mass quantities of champagne I had consumed (and was not even feeling anymore) but then I developed the sweats, the kind where I’m freezing cold but have water POURING down my face. I knew something was wrong and as I stood at the sink I started feeling like I was going to face plant it into the sink. I somehow got out of the bathroom before gripping the wall and somehow ending up on the floor.
After lying there for a while in the middle of the hallway, I finally started feeling better but have been lightheaded all day. Maybe it was dehydration, maybe it was the alcohol, but I’ve NEVER fainted before. EVER. It was the weirdest, scariest moment of my life. I feel like my body is screaming at me to pay attention and get it checked out because something is wrong with it. I hate not having health insurance. I think tomorrow I will check out a Walgreens clinic (Thank you twitter friends to helping me!) to see if they can figure out what is going on with my body and why it’s reacting the way it is. Hopefully fixing it too!
DESPITE the body ailments and work, I had such a fun time with #WineToReach and cannot wait to participate again! Tabitha has mentioned that she will be visiting Boulder soon (squee!!) and I know we are planning a little special Vlog for everyone but I think we should also participate in WineToReach too. 
Party in my living room!
I think I need to thank VEDA and vlogging for it appears it has helped save my blog. I suddenly have found a way to incorporate and talk about my personal life again. I have fallen in love with vlogging and am so addicted to it that I have no idea what I’m going to do come September (I will definitely still vlog, just maybe once or twice a week instead!) but one little side effect of vlogging is that I’ve remembered how to BLOG again. Who knew that would happen?!
For now, you can watch me talk about drinking (and kitchen dance) and about my worst hangover from my trip last fall while I go read this email about 12 things I NEED to know about my vagina. What would I do without Women’s Health?

We need to have a #winetoreach night before Sept 11th. Otherwise, I’m alcohol free until after the marathon.
I think next weekend we should do one! Tabitha (@probablytabitha) will be here in Boulder so we must make this happen!
VETO any future videos or shots of me lying on the floor. In my defense, I’d spent EIGHT HOURS raking and pulling weeds out of a yard, followed by splitting two bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine with you lovelies.
But you were so cute!
I 100% agree with you. Everything about this weekend and the internet makes me all warm and fuzzy.
You make me want to do a vlog. but i cant because i’m “anonymous”…i may try and get creative. and #winetoreach? I totally need to do that!
I feel like I’ve missed so much of the blogging world… I don’t really understand the #winetoreach thing though I’ve seen a lot about it. Is it just drinking wine together (via video chatting)? (Don’t get me wrong, that sounds awesome – I’m just wondering if there’s something I’m missing/don’t totally understand…) Ideally someone else is confused and so an answer would help them too…
#winetoreach is a Twitter party where everyone drinks together. Simple as that
Last week involved a video chat (I’m hoping they always will now!) and it was my first official winetoreach. (Apparently I was involved in the creation of it?! I must have been really drunk) It’s so much fun, you should totally join us next time!
Whoa I have to get in on this #winetoreach thing. I keep seeing it but never take part. I have to get on that!
YES! We should definitely vlog and winetoreach while I’m in Colorado next weekend. EPIC!!
You actually did kind of participate in the first ever #winetoreach. It just didn’t have that name yet. You and me and AshleyD were all on twitter one Saturday night drinking and I think the record books show that was the start of things.
YES! I was involved, wasn’t I?! I remember out little world domination tweetathon going on. And Ash-Land. I like how we’ve managed to mask our world domination with #winetoreach and everyone’s falling for it
