Beware....
You know, how sometimes you see a new product on TV, and even though the commercial is so stupid you want to puke and you say to yourself "Sounds like Boone's to me" you still manage to convince yourself that technology has come a long way, and there is no way some large company is going to invest millions of dollars into a stupid ad campaign if it's going to be as bad as you think, plus you're at the grocery store buying milk with your WIC checks and you know if you spend more than five dollars on wine the clerk is going to roll his eyes and be rude, so you see the display of Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot and actually convince yourself it can't be that bad, and dammit you really want a glass of wine and DAMN THE SAFEWAY CLERK TO HELL but you really really need a glass of wine today; so you go through the checkout with your WIC milk and your $3.49 bottle of Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot and that son of a bitch still rolls his eyes and you just know he's going to go home and bitch about alcoholic welfare mothers to his wife, and when you finally get home you need that wine sooo much more but it isn't as bad as Boone's, in fact it is much, much worse and you have no alternative (other than drinking the hooch SIG made my brother and John for Christmas) so you put it in the smoothie blender with a pound of ice and a cup of sugar and it's still really really bad.
I hate when that happens.

Ah...so you found my blog...thought I'd give it a whirl.
And yes Bubblicious is right. He is great! I would rate his concert a 2 with Babs and Bette almost tying at number 1, with Babs just edging out the Divine Miss M ever so slightly.
Chuck was really more of a fan than I. I got him the tickets for his birthday. After seeing him in person though his name will now be preceeded by "hit the table, slide back" Michael Buble.
I can relate to your wine story although with us its usually cigarettes, frozen pizza and 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's.
We went to U-Village yesterday it has really grown since last I was there. We had lunch at this restaurant called Piatta and I had the most delicious vine-rippened tomato and goat cheese bruschetta.
So the lady never called us on the house today...big surprise. Oh well, it looks like there is a 4th floor apt available in the next building over. I'm going to call the office tomorrow and inquire...that would be nice. The 4th floors have cathedral ceilings and no one below you!! Plus it looks like it may have a pretty good view of the lake. Hopefully that will work out! If not we'll just stay here..not the end of the world. Actually for what we pay here it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to stay even if we get the 4th floor it is only 150 more a month as opposed to 300-400 more for a house. Plus if we stay here we could sock some more money away.
For the love of dairy!
