If I had good wineries nearby, not to mention storage space for the extra wine bottles, I think it would change my buying habits.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm surrounded by wineries and the bounty is sadly wasted on me. I'm not much of a wine drinker.

I've developed an intolerance and no longer can drink more than two glasses of red wine in one sitting. It is sad, and the reason I've been experimenting in the booze aisle.
Wow, I must be middle-aged if I can't handle red wine and wear NYDJ.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That makes me young, then, right? With the red wine drinking and not being able to afford NYDJ...

I think so, -t. Apparently they think you're totes magotes over 40 if you wear expensive clothing and buy $50 scotch at the liquor store.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That makes me young too!
Even if I am too old to stay up past 10.

I just recently had a conversation with my seventy-something mom about how she never did mature into things like playing golf and drinking liquor, both of which are filed under "things old people do" in her head, and therefore she will never be old.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My local hippie co-op has a wine tasting twice a year. I usually get a mixed case then, which lasts me, more or less, until the next tasting. The 20-30% sale they have at the same time, plus a case discount, helps. I forgot this fall, so I've been buying mead and cider instead. It's harder for me to pair those with food.
In my mind, booze and comfortable, high-waisted jeans are reasonable things for teens and twenty somethings, probably because I was a teenager in the 80s. Real estate, on the other hand, seems liked a mark of maturity. One which I may not reach before retirement, if then.

That's the kind of wooly headed thinking that leads to being underwater.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whatevs, I live in NYDJ corduroys. I should check to see if there are after Christmas sales because those fuckers are expensive.
Yeah, but not as expensive as the jeans that I didn't fit into! I was disappointed that despite all of the DENIM SALE! 25% OFF! signs around L&T, they were still full price.
