Wine For Beginners

What your drink says about you
Personality Type: You stand on the outside of crowds and observe. People approach you to ask your permission for various things. You receive calls about moving large sums of money around, business you dispatch quickly and in a quiet voice. You don't eat much; you don't sleep much. Your preferred party position? Above it.
Signature Drink: Champagne. For those of us who don't drink champagne all that often, it is a celebratory, special occasion drink. For those who choose to drink it all the time, it is a signal to others that your whole life is a special occasion and you simply don't have time for them.
2. Martini
Personality Type: You can hold your liquor, and you want others to know it. You once tried to write a novel. You would say you are more head than heart. Your preferred party position is at the bar regaling others. You are the type to use the word 'regale.'
Signature Drink: A proper martini. No less than three ounces of straight gin will do for you. Proper gin martinis are for lifelong, professional drinkers. It is the signature drink for the intellectual set; it was both Dorothy Parker's and Winston Churchill's drink of choice, after all.
3. Whiskey, Neat
Personality Type: You manage to somehow act fancy without putting on airs. You might wear jeans and button-up shirts every day, but they have a crispness to them — as if you walked out of a catalogue. You were voted "Most Likely to Succeed" in high school. Your preferred party position is arriving late and leaving early.
Signature Drink: Whiskey, neat. The more expensive, the better. Because everything in life should be straight-up.
4. Wine
Personality Type: You feel generally happy and dissatisfied at the same time. You are ambitious but don't feel lucky. You would call yourself jealous because you are also very self-aware. Your preferred party position is talking late into the night.
Signature Drink: Wine. It's the drink that's easiest to refill.
5. Beer
Personality Type: You are generally happy and a tad lucky. Things tend to work out for you. Sure, you have some regrets, but who doesn't? You work hard, but don't necessarily want to work that hard. You buy lottery tickets and contribute to your 401K. Your preferred party position is whatever's nearby.
Signature Drink: Beer. It's readily available and unassuming. No one has ever been criticized for ordering a beer at a bar or drinking one at a party. Beer just doesn't make a fuss.

TOLAH cares
The past few months have been amazeballs here at TOLAH. It first started with the mood swings then came the ugly cries. As if that wasn't enough, there were sudden bouts of "sicknesses" that were neither here nor there. Then, after being fed up, we advised these trolls to "just pee on a stick already". True to that, it was revealed, The Lord has blessed this house with the most precious of gifts.Lou's having a baby, Zesty's having a baby, Sandy's having Skhafthin, Cherry's having a baby, Love Child's having a baby and for a while it looked like everyone was having a baby. (I hope you read this in Oprah's voice.) The stork will be overworking within the next few months we will be welcoming new additions to the family.
To prepare the soon-to-be mommies, TOLAH ladies decided to come together and do our bits to help welcoming the little miracles a little bit more special. So we put together some pennies to get them nice things. It was nice to see everyone was keen to assist and some even went an extra mile.
The mothers are very grateful for this gesture. On behalf of TOLAH, I would like to thank those that have contributed. Your good hearts and show of love go a long way. I was emotional all day Saturday when I realized just what it means exactly to be part of this group. I love you guys and hope we only get toghter and more loving and supportive.

Weekend round up....
My Weekend in one paragraph
Happy Monday, I hope we are all rested and ready to make some money. I had quite an eventful and clumsy weekend shem. Here's what I got up to:
Friday night I went out with the girls minus Bubbles; she needs to explain herself that one. We were to go to some daddy chilling spot. Arrived at the place just to find it was filled with old people with vans and Toyota's parked outside, eeuw! We then moved to a different venue; Social Link; and fun was had. Partied until early mornings of Saturday. After sleeping for 3 hours I attempted to go to a funeral; headache, hangover and tiredness intact. Had no idea what the details were and completely got mixed up when Anga told me thedetails over the phone. Soooo, I did what no other person ever did before, I went to the wrong funeral. Yep!!!! After that I went and met Lollington (such a beautiful being, pretty too) and with her in tow we eventually made it to the correct funeral on time for lunch. We then attended to some TOLAH responsibilities. I was so done, I missed my hair appointment and am proud to announce I am fiercly rocking a basic "straight together" or what the hair chick called the "Thandaza". Anyway, the re-bae nursed me out of tiredness and hangover.
What did you guys get up to?
To the BBM FANS, lets say this together now, QABANATION!! NTOMBACE!! I am sooooo excited, i cried.... (Lufuno)
