Because I like gifts!

09 February 2006

In the past few weeks I've been gifted with 4 bottles of wine. 1.2.3.FOUR! What makes this interesting is that I don't think I've been given a bottle of wine, well, ever. On top of that, 3 bottles were red... and I loooove me some red. What makes this even better is that the latest bottle not only has what might be the nicest packaging I've ever seen, but it's a kind of Riesling which my very best friend is *constantly* nagging me to try. Any gift that can quiet her inCESSANT nagging is truly a gift worth receiving in my book. And if it happens to be the kind of gift that can get me drunk in the process? Well then. You just made it on my Christmas list. So yes, thank you to everyone who's participated in the National Gifting Margaret Programme.

Two bottles down. Two left to go.

In other news, I just received an email in which the sender said, "... and the owner keeps a tight eye on the bills."

Imagine my embarrassment when my mental filter somehow translated that seemingly simple phrase as, "... and the owner keeps tighty balls."

Clearly my head is stuck in the little boy's third grade bathroom. I don't know, sometimes it's better not to ask.

(And just so we're clear, the camera stuff is at the bottom of the page because it's been there collecting dust for so freagin' long. While it probably *seems* like I want that stuff least, the positioning clearly indicates I want it MOST. Because longevity is key, my gentle readers. So... um, yeah. You know, in case you were wondering.)

Margaret,
Really? The Clooney version of Solaris? What about the original version?
Guess it's just me....
