Hi, I'm ABBA, and I Need To Drink More

There have been a number of posts on here from the various wine country tours that I have done with Samantha and the Queen. For all of those, I have been the designated driver, but have somehow always been the one to come home with the most wines as well as all of the memberships to the various wineries.

I currently hold 3 memberships (Cline Wineries, Viansa, and Bonny Doon). They are all great wines and I really enjoy the memberships and getting wines and going to the wineries, blah, blah, blah.

So, today my most recent delivery from Bonny Doon showed up. This winery is the coolest because it is totally hippy-crazy...check out their website BonnyDoonVinyard.com. I open my wine box and then update my Facebook status to let the world know that my wine has come.

Sam comments first asking me how many bottles of wine this latest delivery takes me to, so I had to count. As of right now, I have 60 bottles of unopened wine. I opened one after I counted because I realized that I have to start drinking some of this wine and not just buying the wine. Plus, I have a trip planned in a couple of weeks to head up to Napa so taht I can pick up my latest "shipments" from the other two wineries AND I just ordered some of my favorite wines from Cline because they have it on sale.

So, anybody want to come help me kill a couple of bottles?

Which Winnie-the-Pooh Character are You?

This is something that has been on my mind for a while now and I try to figure which character people that I meet fall into.
  • Pooh, of course
  • Piglet
  • Tigger
  • Rabbit
  • Owl
  • Eyeore
  • Kanga
  • Roo
  • Christopher Robin
  • Heffalump
I always wanted to be a Tigger personality, all bouncy and bubbly and "woohoohooo". But as I've aged, I think I'm more of a Kanga personality...I take care of others, sort mother people along, and point out dangers. And yet, there is also a lot of Christopher Robin in me as well...As one site stated, since I was researching said characters, Christopher Robin "is everyone’s best friend and mostly indulges in activities to help his friends to get them out of tricky situations". That is sort of what I do, I try to be everybody's friend and mostly just going along with the others and watching.

I know, sort of lame, but it is something to thing about. So, which character are you?
