vendage

So i bought a large bottle of vendage red cabernet and a super large glass ( valentine ware) and am now trying to see how much i can get out of the large bottle. i can get 4-8 glasses (or more) out of the 750.

snl and green chile pizza

Watched 40 years of snl and had pizza greek salad and wine. Very nice combo. the 40years of snl made me think the show was a lot better than i remember it. :)

phone calls

This is so funny...i had been getting this call from an unrecognized number multiple times. i was like really racking my brain to think who it was...kind of freaked me out cuz i dint recognize it. Now i finally got a message that it was a friend/acquaintance from way back...i did not know they would be calling me. Oh well blast from the/a past. i havent been partying like that time anyway...so i will just decline unless it seems appropriate. i was somewhat frightened. :)

Oyster sandwich

Oh my god i had a fried oyster sandwich yesterday with red chile mayo...pretty good...made me realize how tasty seafood is. Yummo. Also french fries fried in duck fat. I am trying to learn some good cocktails to make and have been reading on cocktails.com (about.com). There are some really fantastic ideas i have seen. People are really into it obviously. Returned the coffee maker to walmart at the regular post office. Not too difficult once they changed my return service to usps from fedex. And trying to get a refund to a closed debit card...this is also something i am working on from my holiday shopping. Got four pair moddeal shoes in mail.. They all look super.

return to w-mart

Finally processed my return to walmart...that was like the funniest thing ever but i got to talk to like 10 or more customer service people over the course of a few days. I assesed all of their manner types and approaches to service and assistance as well as how much they could offer to the customer and how fast. it was pretty funny cuz i was so piss-ed at myself for making the return in the first place. How grand. Somewhat, not really. But it all seems good now and i have a espresso maker that i wanted...also really inexpensive deal on espresso grounds.

led light bulbs

I got these LED light bulbs from chine for super cheap. they took like twenty days to arrive but glad they got here! They are supposed to really cut down on electricity use and i think the ones in the states are like 16$ a pop. Very cool. Trying to return my espresso machine but the fed ex guys haven't come to pick it up...i guess i have two more hours...not the biggest fan of shippin or receivin packages in the dark but cest la vie.

espresso cups

So oddly enough i did not get my espresso cups with my espresso maker. the company, continental even said that model doesn't come with cups at all and never did since 2011. So walmart is incorrect there. I even got them to send a replacement because they said it should have the cups and saucers and spoons. The replacement did not have it. it is so funny they make you sign an affadavit to get a replacement.wow. Well i hace had lattes the past couple days and they are very very darn good...so the espresso maker is fantastic. I guess it would have been nice to get the cups but i'm somewhat sure they not come along. i will have to buy my own if i want a set for posterity.

replacement

I got my espresso machine which i was so excited about...but there were no ceramic cups! Ah so annoying. i caled continental and they checked their manual and said there was no indication the item came with cups. I called walmart and they are going to send me a replacement to see if it comes with cups and saucers...but i have to return the one i got which entails going to fed ex...not sure i will get the cups anyway.

shoe

Remember how i said i had 20 shoes in my cart at moddeals...well i purchased four of them...sure was thrilling....would have loved to have gotten all 20. Yum
