Favorite Wines

I’ve started a wine log with a list of all of the wines we try… the favorites and flops alike! I’ll update the page as we go… here’s my first entry:

Gina 2005 Sangiovese Napa Valley 12/26/08 – This was a tasty wine; very light and fruity. It was slightly effervescent on the tongue and finished nicely. We paired it with a pesto pasta – it held up quite well and was still yummy after the food was gone.

$14

7/10

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all the best this season and for the year to come!

Ben & I are enjoying a leisurely day at my parents house… opening presents, listening to music and relaxing.

Have a Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year!

Where do you go when I’m not looking?

I’m sure this question must date back to the beginning of laundry… where do my socks go? I’ve been short on clean laundry lately, and my sock drawer has gotten down to the IMG_4972dregs. The final survivors that are missing their mates. They peer up at me sadly from the  drawer – hopeful that I’ve brought their match to them to be reunited once again. Alas, each morning it is the same routine. I rummage around, searching for two socks that might pass for matching then, more often than not, decide to move on to shoes that don’t need socks. Each morning, the widowed sock hopes it has a chance to once again see the light of day (or the inside of a shoe) and strains to get my attention. Sadly, many of the singletons these days are among my favorite winter socks. The winter wool socks from the Gap are the coziest of all of my warm socks. I purchased a set annually until a few years ago, when my wool sock collection seemed sufficient and I was comfortable easing up on the acquisition of more. And then there’s my “Rock Star” socks (a small play on words – there’s a cartoon picture of a star holding a guitar on the ankle). These were a purchase from Marshall’s years ago and I loved them dearly. The other sock went missing 4 years ago, but I haven’t given up hope. The surviving sock patiently awaits it’s return in my sock drawer.

Christmas Wish List – 2008

It’s that time of year again, and for those who’ve been asking for it (ahem… mom?). Drumroll, please… ta da! here is my wish list.

Merry Christmas to all!
