Valentine's Day <3
And speaking of that, my friend asked us all to bring a bottle of wine to the party. We're trying to be more sophisticated, so to speak... but it's not going so well! People kept telling me to try a "Reisling." Well, I did, and it was really gross! So bitter, and alcohol-y. I just don't know... We ended up breaking in to the Boone's Farm... technically wine, but none of the sophistication! Ah, we'll see if there is a wine yet we can find to like.
I've been tempted to dust off the Anne DVDs and watch those... I suppose it's just because of Valentine's day, and Jonathan Crombie being so damn smoking hot! Ah well, I couldn't get sucked in to eight hours worth of movies.... so I watched Sense and Sensibility instead. My only problem with that movie is that I feel like Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant were too old to play their characters... ah well, still a good movie.
Anyhow... I'm trying to make it to bed at a semi decent hour. Considering that I got in rather late last night, I actually went to bed at a reasonable time... however, I've been so tired lately that I need to make it a point to go to bed earlier. I guess that means I should make it a point to blog earlier, too!

That we me who deleted! I signed in with the wrong acct...
My oldest sister is a wine snob. In fact she has two huge ceramic jars filled with corks. I'm not sure what she plans on doing with them? Her sister in-law's husband is a wine {I'm not sure of the proper term} seller? He delivers wine to all the fancy restaurants in Chicago. I should ask her what she recommends. I've heard merlot... but that's nasty to me. Very dry! Blech.
My whole family {sans my oldest sister} prefer the five dollar screw top wine! Ha! We all like this red wine called Riunite. But I suppose that would be rather cheesy to be taking screw top wine to a party. Almost as bad as boxed wine. LOL! -

Hey, taking a screw top is fine... I totally did! Haha. We were drinking Boone's Farm, after all.

The first wine I started drinking (after Boone's) is White Zinfandel. Beringer's is my favorite and it's only like $6 a bottle. It's fruity and doesn't taste alcohol-y. You should try it!

Evonne, I'll definitely give that a try! I was thinking of buying a White Zinfandel, but I again, wasn't sure what to buy.
