verdict?

duvet stays!  painting moves to the study where i think we even might see more of it :)

been a lovely lazy weekend.  we saw 'the a-team' yesterday- was a great fun summer movie.  we also went to world market wine tasting which was awesome as always.  i clearly spend way too much time at world market because all the people that work there know me ;)  the following are some conversations i've had when visiting world market:

cashier:  what??  no wine today???
~*~
cashier (to nate): do you have a member account with us?  i know she does.
~*~
cashier: what's your birth date? i know i should have it memorized.
me: i would be embarrassed if you did.
cashier: i have a new goal now.
~*~
cashier 1: only 6 bottles?
cashier 2: that's par for the course for her!
me:  i have 8, but 6 are a gift for someone else, i swear!

but speaking of wine, i think my favorite wine from yesterday's tasting was a wine called 'jam jar,' a sweet shiraz -- it's a little sweet which i usually don't like but it was super tasty!  yummy and fruity and apparently served cold.
