Grammy recap...
So I managed to finally stay awake and watch the entirety of the Grammys last night for the very first time. That was a shock. Especially as I was receiving a reminder that when you open a bottle of wine, make sure you drink it within a week of opening. Oh, and don’t ever mix red wine and sushi…they don’t always go the best. LOL
