Not dead yet!

I had a really good weekend in Boston. Friday night, Dann cooked me a delicious meal, and we ate Jack Snacks (OMG Jack the pumpkin cheesecake! You're my hero!), and then hung out with Heather and Brendan and Vess and drank entirely too much wine. Saturday morning, slept in! Highly necessary. Had breakfast with Heather, then walked from Central to Porter for my hair appointment. Cold out, but not too bad except that my thighs were shapely blocks of ice by the time I arrived. Laura picked me up from my hair appointment and we walked up to Davis, where I had the extreme pleasure of introducing her to Mr. Crepe. I love it when my friends like each other! I think Laura and Mr. Crepe are about to embark on a beautiful friendship. :) Carlos picked me up from Mr. Crepe and we went shopping for Kris's birthday in Harvard Square. He dropped me back at Columbia House at 6 so I could get ready for the party, which I did! Filled up the car, then I arrived right on time for the party at 8 and was the first one there, which was totally fine because I got to hang out with Kris and she liked her present. It was really good to see everybody. Left there around 11-11:30ish, back to Columbia House, and worked on the Saturday crossword with Brendan and Heather until we were all zombies and passed out at maybe 12:30. This morning, got up at 8 and got out the door by 8:30. Drove like mad through MA and CT to try to make a lot of distance before the storm hit. I was in New York by 11ish when I started seeing the first flakes. New York and Jersey were Not Fun, but I got home by 2:20 or so, which meant that the whole trip took a shorter amount of time than usual even with the storm. Also, I now remember why I only drive to Boston every few months--it takes me that long to forget how much I dislike long trips by myself. Overall, though, an excellent weekend, and I really enjoyed seeing friends.

Now, a question: Friday night I shared an excellent bottle of wine with Dann Brown. I can order said wine online for $10.95 a bottle, and it's $10 shipping for up to six bottles. Total order would be around $80 for six bottles of wine. Part of me is like, $80! But another part is like, really good wine that I like a lot! When you divide it out it's only like $13.50 a bottle. Should I order?

I think you should buy the wine. It's not like you're going to drink it all at once--it's an investment for future dinners that you won't need to spend money for.

That's definitely true. It's just a chunk at once, at the holidays, you know? But when do you need wine more than at the holidays? I'm seeing if my mom might want a few bottles, too, which would help.

Damn it makes me happy to see you!

Definitely so good to see you too. :)

I'm voting yes on the wine. No surprise there of course. $13.50/bottle is pretty good for wine you know you enjoy.
