It looks like someone is having a case of the "Mondays"! (AGAIN!!!)
I had a pretty crappy weekend and today hasn't been much better. On Friday I took a mini tour of Texas...Austin to College Station and then to Houston. I had to pick up some wine in College Station that was needed in Austin by today. Houston was just an additional stop...needed to pick up some more of my stuff. Friday night I hung out with Syl. That's always a good time. Saturday I went by my house to pick stuff up. On Sunday I had a wine tasting to go to in Austin. Let me tell you...wine snobs are the worst kind of snob. They drive me bonkers! People ask me all the time what makes a good wine. You know what makes a good wine? If you like it, that's a good wine. Price, style, grape, doesn't really matter. If you like it and want to drink it, then it is good. I have never seen people so full of shit as wine people..."oh, this wine has some Rutherford dirt in it". What?! You are 21 years old and work at a liquor store, don't tell me you know Rutherford dirt from Sonoma dirt from Napa dirt. I know there are people out there who say they can tell that, but not some 21 year old kid from Austin. So, I pretty much buried my head in the sand after the tasting. I decided I had enough this weekend and tomorrow was another day. Tomorrow is now today - Monday. I woke up to a flat tire. Had to find someone to help me with that (with the stitches in my hand, I can't change a tire). Finally got it to Discount Tire (I bought new tires less than a month ago). I had a nail in the tire. I had to deliver the wine I picked up on Friday, for a wine maker's dinner tonight. I wasn't supposed to be involved in this, and now I am up to my eyeballs involved. I have to pick the wine maker up and take her to her hotel and then take her to the dinner. 30 to 40 people paying $160 a person to have dinner with Merry Edwards and drink her wine. Yeah, more wine snobs. Tomorrow is pretty much the same thing. We are having a tasting with her and her wines. Don't get me wrong, nothing against the wine maker. Haven't met her, but I have met her husband. He is a nice guy. I just hate the schmoozing, ass kissing, etc. that goes on with all of this. I am going to have to be on my best behavior tonight. That is all I need, to get drunk feeling like I am now!
