Spring

Since its Spring now I'm sure you realize there are some things you need to change. Most importantly, your wine. Right, stuff those big, heavy winter Cabs away, or just polish them off in one sitting like I do. Now is time to break out the Zins.

In other wine related news, I finished my taxes today. Quite the ordeal since I have had 4 different contracts, some w-2, some 1099, house stuff, education stuff, relocation stuff, investment stuff, home office stuff, etc. To celebrate I had Wine Guy from Wine Shop pick out a nice Spring wine. He suggested this one, I liked it. Its almost purple in color, nice spicy cherry depth and it went well with my Eggplant Shrimp Curry from a couple of days ago. Nice price too, under $15.

I'm sure Ex-3, HD Guy and 4YA Guy have noticed the flowers. No, I did not arrange them. I had Flower Girl from Flower Shop choose and arrange them for me. As some of you know I didn't inherit the flower arranging gene. My "arragements" consist of buying one bunch of flowers, all one color, taking them out of their wrapping and stuffing them into a vase. This has been problematic for some people I have dated. I even remember one morning coming downstairs to see that Ex-3 had reconfigured my flowers so they weren't all one height. Ex-3 is an over-the-top masculine German guy so to see him fussing intensely with flower arrangement just made me laugh. Silently, to myself :)
