There is no better way to wrap up a crappy week and start what will hopefully be a better week than having siblings around. We drink a little wine, then drink a little more wine. We have cheese and crackers. Then we have more wine.
Cards are in order, Cribbage and rummy, and we also play a few rounds of Yahtzee. Sometimes we bring out the board games, but not today. Eventually we give up on Yahtzee about four games in.
We've killed a couple of bottles of wine, and the cheese is almost gone, but it's okay. We have a secret weapon: Monster Trail Mix.
Oh, sure, other stores offer their own lame versions of trail mix, but Target's Monster Trail Mix is the ultimate trail mix of the gods. It has peanuts, M&Ms, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and raisins. It's like crack. It's also a snack. It's Snack Crack.
The back of the bag says, "Archer Farms -- 100% satisfaction guaranteed." Well, Archer Farms, your snack crack is a Monster hit after an exceptionally poopy week, and we're all enjoying the trail mix very much. No, the wine doesn't cloud our judgment.
Spending time with my siblings and eating Monster Trail Mix = 100% satisfaction. Yup, guaranteed.
