What Did I Do To Deserve THIS?

After I wrote my post about The Holiday I ended up making myself some hot chocolate.  I, of course, actually wanted wine. I found a hot chocolate kit (labeled for two - way to rub salt in the wound) my Mom put in all of our stockings at Christmas. It wasn't expired so I opened it up and enjoyed its deliciousness. Then, I got this comment from Amber, which cracked me up:

It made me laugh because I actually do have an unofficial wine policy. I always have a bottle in the fridge. The problem is that I had enjoyed a glass of wine during Grey's anatomy on Thursday night. I had PLANNED to have that wine left for the weekend. Then, I woke up to find wine EVERYWHERE. I, once again, put my wine stopper in AFTER I had finished drinking. This would make the second time this summer that I did not put the stopper in properly, only to wake up to a veggie drawer full of white wine. Lovely.

THEN, I got PS I Love You in the mail from Netflix. I was warned that there was no way I'd survive this movie without wine. So, a quick run to Raley's replenished my wine supply. ... And then, the unthinkable happened. I couldn't open it. I thought of calling "New Friend" (he's still useful for some things - like when I need manly muscles) to open it up. THEN the corkscrew broke. In the cork. It was horrible.

And let me tell you, friends, desperate times call for desperate measures:

(Please ignore my messy mail.)

I eventually got it, and enjoyed my lovely glass of wine (after scooping out the pieces of cork). I plan to purchase an upgraded corkscrew soon enough. There's a cute kitchen store by my work. 

In short, the wine gods are fighting against me this weekend - and I'm not sure what I did to deserve it.

ha.
