Sincerely Angie

I’m a couple of months late but here’s another group of nouns for this week. In case you missed the last post about my favorite things, which happen to be in noun (person, place & thing) form. It’s just a way for me to share the things I am loving or enjoying at the moment or in general. I got the idea from my friend Eric over at Imma Keep Going.

Person

Meet my baby Rockie. He is a Shepsky (German Shepherd and Husky mix). He just made 2 months. He is so smart and an absolute sweetheart. He was gifted to me on Mother’s Day so that I could officially celebrate Mother’s Day as a dog mom. He came already knowing a few commands like “sit” and “stay”. Potty training is going well. He successfully pee’s on the training pad but we’re working on his aim. He hasn’t pooped inside since the first week I had him. I taught him to ring the bell at the door when he wants to go outside. I kind of taught him “paw” to shake hands. He will not go to sleep until I am in bed, then he sleeps right underneath the head of my bed. He is also teething, so teaching him not to bite things keeps me busy but I love every minute of it.

Place

This past week in particular, the place was The Saenger Theatre. I went to the It’s Time tour featuring Tasha Cobbs-Leonard, Naomi Raine, Tamela Mann, Natalie and Katie. This was my first solo concert and my first gospel concert. It was such a great experience. I want to go to more concerts like this in the future. I was about 30 minutes late due to looking for parking and walking to the venue but the 2-1/2 hours I was there, I only sat down for all of about 5-10 minutes. I sang majority of the songs and left out slightly hoarse. My heart was so happy and I was so grateful to know Jesus after that show. Music is honestly how I feel closest to God. The artists usually always say or express what I feel in my heart!

Thing

I think I have been drinking wine since I first started drinking at 21 years old. Although my first introduction to alcohol was a daiquiri and wine coolers, wine came shortly after. I started off drinking White Zinfandel. It usually took me 3 to 4 glasses to really get a buzz. Then one day, I tasted Chardonnay and the buzz came with-in the first few sips. I was hooked ever since. It’s quite nasty but once you get past the taste, it understands the assignment. I have only had a few brands of Chardonnay that were really clean and smooth. Those were usually the ones that took me longer to get a buzz. I drink Chardonnay because cocktails are wishy washy. Chardonnay is a for sure buzz every time. When I’m at home, there are a few reds that I drink with my dinner or just to wind down and they are very reasonably priced. Mogen David Pomegranate and Taylor Port.
