A Somewhat Food (Drink) Related Story...

Once Upon A Time (last week), I bought this bar as a Christmas present for Carson...


But when it was delivered to our house, it looked like this...


Let's back up. I bought this bar online. I didn't pay attention to the words ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. Two small-ish boxes were delivered to our house. I thought, what? How did the bar fit into two different boxes? I'm smart.

Thursday night after Carson fell sleep, I went downstairs to figure it all out. As I pulled block of wood after block of wood from the box(es) and realized how many non-put-together blocks of wood I was dealing with, I choked back a tear or two. I cannot do this! I am only a tiny little woman! After all, please note the NOTE below...


At this point, I was going to either a) Fully have a meltdown and go wake up Carson to tell him his Christmas present threw up all over the family room or b) Find wine.


I found wine. After chug-a-lugging, I also found a wee bit of confidence and started talking to myself. Alright Allen Wrench, let's do this sh*t.

And look, it started working!!


And working!!! This is also the part where I took a small break to watch Ever After. Because that's a good movie (no).


Seriously, who is this guy??


Oh my gosh, y'all, oh my gosh. Read the bottom...


I did it! I did it! It took me two hours and a bottle of wine, but I did it!! Here's a picture of Joyful Siri...


My neck is not okay in that photo.

So, the lesson to learn here is in three parts...

1. Always read tons of information about your online purchases.
2. A bottle of wine will help you through anything.
3. Dougray Scott's career died with Ever After.
