Why I Don’t Drink A Lot of Wine

The reason I don't drink a lot of wine has nothing to do with over indulgence or hangovers. 

The reason has to do with the fact I can't seem to own wine glasses for any length of time without shattering them.

I'm the first to admit I'm not the most graceful woman. I drop things. A lot of things. As a matter of fact, my brother calls me 'Cindy' because he says I have cinder blocks for hands. Plus, I like beer. Cans and beer bottles are much easier to handle!

This morning, The Morning Waking Crew talked about 'things you bought then immediately broke!'  I'm glad I'm not the only one who is, well, let's call it clumsy! Check out our Facebook page for some pretty d'oh moments!
