It's About Me...Again
My selfish streak is kicking in and insists that I let y'all know more stuff about me. How can I refuse?!
So I'm putting up 10 genuine facts about me. For starters.
1. My name is not Avery Spreading. I had a light-bulb moment looking for a fake name to blog under while going through baby names!
2. I love kids and would love to have a couple of bambinos of my own. Not sure I'll ever have one though.
3. I'm allergic to wine! Would you believe that? Despite what the blog title says...I'll dedicate a post to why I chose 'Sipping on Wine' as title.
4. I like older men. Mr Spreading fits the bill to a T. Literally.
5. I used to swing both ways.
6. I'm scared of death. Out of boredom I sometimes think of ways I'd prefer to die.
7. I lost my virginity without even knowing it. It was that good.
8. I used to dream of becoming an actress and being interviewed by Oprah on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
9. I speak more than one language.
10. Would you believe how hard it was to write down these 9 points? Not because I don't know what to write but I'm watching Mindfreak! How cool is Criss Angel?!

X Factor 2009
No longer living in London, one thing I miss the most is X Factor. Similar to American Idol. So now I have to rely on YouTube and other related sources to watch the performances of this year's participants. What a bummer!
Anyhoodle, scouring YouTube for the latest auditions I chanced upon this one.
Danyl Johnson.
He is too good. I hope he gets enough votes to be in the finals.
Check it out for yourself.
Ain't he awesome?

Sullen Saturday Night
Okay here's the thing. If you've read my profile you know that I said I wouldn't post anything about me. The fact is I'm so selfish and I have to tell y'all (whoever is reading) about M.E! So count on reading snippets about my selfish and vain self from time to time.
So back to tonight...A Sullen Saturday Night. I'm bored out of my mind. At 9 p.m. I'm already in my jammies watching Sweet Home Alabama and perusing some blogs of interest. And I got the munchies. I haven't decided on what I'll be having for dinner. Most probably I'll end up downing a couple of pizza slices followed by a cold soft drink. Way to go! Feeding my gut with calories I don't really need right now. It's summer and I need to work on my beach body. Yes. I can't wait to fit back into my sexy bikini again. All the more to feel grumpy tonight.
Meh...let me go find something to snack on until I get dinner.

Totally Random
Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's.
Beautifully quoted by Desiderius Erasmus.
It reminds me of all the people suffering in this world, especially the Indonesians. My kind prayers are with you.

Do You Do Long Distance Marriages?
Born in the 80s, my point of views on major topics very often clash with those of my parents. Except when it comes to marriage. We carry the same values on that subject. That is, you have to respect and hold true to all the vows you pronounce on your wedding day. When I got married, I know some dreams of mine wouldn't be realized and they need to be crossed off of my bucket list. I was ready to compromise and I've never looked back since.
But this post is not about me nor my marriage. It's about someone who's been married for 23 years and counting. That's a record isn't it? Nowadays it's quite rare to meet folks with 20 and odd years of marital bliss. Unless it's your grandparents! But in this day and age it's a feat. Pardon my cynicism.
That woman is none other than my mother in-law! An overbearing mother in-law. A control freak. A someone-who-thinks-I-care-of-what-she-thinks-about-the-way-I-live-my-life woman! She feels that it's her duty to tell me what's right and wrong for me. On top of being arrogant and sanctimonious, my beloved mother in-law believes in no-sex-before-marriage thingy. I'm neutral on that. At the end of the day it's your choice if you want to or not.
Anyhow, what I can't understand is how can she find fault with everyone else but herself when she lives miles away from her husband?! All in all, she has never spent a full damn year with her spouse. Her priority is her job/career. I'm not saying a married woman shouldn't work. Far from that. But her job takes her miles away from her man. Nearing her 60s and she's not thinking of throwing the towel yet. That's a no-no for me. Everybody in the locality frowns upon her long-distance marriage. Not that I'm a fan of the society but I couldn't disagree with them on this subject.
Maybe one day I'll muster enough courage and give my mother in-law my more than 2 cents worth of opinions!

Snakes In My Paradise
Don't we all have at least one snake in our backyard? I got more than one and I've decided to chronicle each one of their contemptuous shots at my reputation and happiness.
If you like gossip then watch the space! I'm bringing nastiness back! :)
