How do you open this?!?!

I will preface this post by informing you that I'm not pregnant this cycle. You'll need to know this so you won't think bad of me for what I'm going to tell you next!

Alright, so yesterday was a hard day because well, I found out that this cycle was indeed not the cycle we had been waiting for. However! One must look on the bright side and relish in all of the things that can't be done if one is pregnant. Such as drink caffeine and sip yummy wine. So, that's what I did today. I stopped by the good ole' MacDo and picked up a caramel frappe (I highly recommend...especially if you have sworn off caffeine for the past 4 weeks).

And that brings us to tonight. We've had a bottle of wine in the fridge that had been waiting for such an occasion. So, what better night to open it than tonight? Except the little peely strip meant to get the foil off the top would.not.come.off. I picked. I peeled. I picked some more. And then I said, heck with it! And went to get our Houdini bottle opener. I went through all the proper steps, but instead of hearing the reassuring "pop!" of the cork I hear.....nothing. Hmmm. That's odd. And then I try again. Nuthin'.

Upon further investigation I realize that oh no, there's not a cork. It's a SCREW ON CAP. Of course the bottle opener wouldn't work on a screw on cap! (As I tell this story to K his reaction was: "Oh honey, you've been away from the booze too long!")

One would presume that once I realized how my bottle of wine was capped I would be able to open said bottle, right? Ummmm....think again! I twisted. I turned. I tried to pick the foil cap off. I twisted some more. After about 5 minutes (no joke) I was finally able to get the cap off.

Jeesh, it was a lot of work for one glass of wine! But it was worth it.
