So after my Math Destruction last night and again this morning…and after my parent-teacher conference today…I needed a bit of the vino.

I was very excited to discover it was wine day. I asked wine store dude if he could guide me to the Zolo Malbec (a wine from Argentina) and he regretted to inform me that they could not get Zolo due to the distributor they use.

Whatevah.

But, wine store dude was on top of things. He quickly offered up an alternative.

WSD: the Pileta 39 is a fantastic Malbec. And it is Argentinean as well.
Me: Hmmm (not really caring WHERE it comes from. Just wanting it to be good)
WSD: Yes. It is always a 3 bottle buy for me.
Me: Hmmm.

So, I pick up a couple.

Dear Wine Store Dude, You are the fuckin’ bomb. Thank you. Me

I’m supposed to be writing…but it ain’t happening tonight.

First of all, one of my CPs uploaded her book about demons and I can’t seem to stop reading it. Secondly, I’ve been awake since about 5 am (involuntarily awake) and I’m kinda tired. Thirdly, it’s very cool outside, therefore it’s perfect red wine weather. So I had a glass bottle. Fourthly, (is fourthly a word?) I guess it is. Fourthly, I’ve been in front of the computer (minus a few hours) since 5:30 am therefore I’m not quite all here.

Plus, there’s that whole “wine” issue.

Anyway, while I was notwriting tonight I flipped on the tv. One of my fave all time shows was on…Friday Night Lights. Hot high school hotties (redundant, I know. but hey, I’ve always liked ’em young) playing my 2nd favorite sport. Awesome. Then I realized Men in Trees was back(mmm mountain men)…directly across from Las Vegas (one of my other fave shows. Hey. It’s Josh Duahmel and he drives my fave car ever! a 69 Camaro SS. Sigh.). Such torture, having to choose. So I chose Men in Trees because back in Oxford, Las Vegas is being Tivo’d. 🙂 See, I’m not so stoopid.

Fishdog and the boys went to the Catholic High Homecoming game tonight. According to the phone calls, they had a great time. Sorry I wasn’t there…well, not really. I had wine. But in theory, I’m sorry I wasn’t there.

Peace y’all. Have a good weekend. I’ll post something fun tomorrow.
