WELCOME TO POP CULTURE MONDAY!

by Jacquie D'Alessandro

Greeting Whiners!  I’m very excited to be posting on “Pop Culture” Monday!  Since that topic makes it difficult to blog about my Thanksgiving at the beach, I’ll instead chat about the pop culture phenomenon that has sunk its fangs into us.  Yes, I’m talking about the Twilight saga. I’m in a book club with four [...]

My house was a mess. Is. Is a mess. I was going to make a poem out of it, but honestly– it stops with the cold, hard, fact. My. House. Is. A. Mess. I entertained my family yesterday, sixteen of us making merry in my house. I tried to keep up with it all as [...]

I’m so excited to have new Whine Sisters to honor with pictures of cake! New cake searches are so fun, and I found this one, which is perfect for Kathleen (because it says her name right on it! And I’m sure she loves to strap on those skates and have a whirl around the ol’ [...]

It’s Raining Books!

by Julie Kenner/J.K. Beck

As I said over on my blog, I’m totally down with the idea that word of mouth is the best way to, well, get the word out about anything and everything.  And so in celebration of my six winey (uh, whiney) sisters and the great reviews TAINTED is getting so far, and the fact that [...]

Thanksgiving: Oh, the Pressure

by Julia London

Prepare for a holiday whine. As I have mentioned everywhere lately, I am not a cook.  I don’t like it, I never will, and I will never learn.  So when the holidays roll around, I get as special knot in my stomach.  I have to come up with something that someone will eat. Just because [...]

Celebrate! We’re back! We missed you, and we have big news! First, there were three. Julia London, Kathleen Givens, and Sherri Browning Erwin got together in 2004 to bring you whine and cheese (and snark, plenty of snark). Then, we realized we had one more sister out there ready to whine along, and the delightful Jacquie [...]

A Whine and Some Cheese

The Whine: I get really annoyed with people who can’t take the extra few seconds or few steps to put the grocery cart in the cart return area in grocery store parking lots. Most stores have quite a few cart return areas. Chances are, there’s one near your car. They’re very handy and they keep [...]

Our New Baby!!

by Jacquie D'Alessandro

We’re havin’ a baby…my baby and me… Those are the words to an old song, and they’re perfect for the news I have to share.  I have to say, it came as a bit of a surprise—we hadn’t really planned to get a baby at this time, but when we saw her, my husband and [...]

One Million Hits and Climbing!

by Kathleen Givens

No, I’m not talking about an oldies collection.  Or the World Series collective stats.  I’m talking The Whine Sisters!  And it’s way over a million hits – like 200,000 over.  We rarely track that, but maybe we should.  So thanks to all of you who visit and read our madness, and an even bigger thanks [...]

Now We’re Getting Nervous

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Seasonal flu, swine flu (H1N1), sniffles, sneezes, coughs, and colds. It’s that time of year! No one wants to get sick. Common sense strategies to stay healthy can help. Things like: 1. Wash Your Hands. Often. A lot of stores and restaurants have started providing hand sanitizers to patrons. How nice! 2. Keep your workspace [...]
