Sangria Wine Hangovers Suck!

Last night I finally got to meet Sharon in person. She works in the computer support center of the bank I work at, so we talk on the phone daily, but I've never seen her face (she works in the western suburb). So I finally get the treat of meeting her in person. She's hot! I'm surprised some guy hasn't snatched her up yet. She was hilarious to hang out with, and her two other friends were just as nice. So...two cosmopolitan (I know...how gay can I get?) and dinner of raw fish, and we are heading over to another place for some Sangria wine.

This sangria was fresh made, and we shared a pitcher and 1/2 between four of us. Let me tell you....that wine packs a serious wallop! I am sitting here typing this, already having consumed my second aspirin of the day. I did sleep for a good 4 hours though.

I decided to take Bill's advice and go to Kevin and Brian's house for Thanksgiving. So I am spending this morning finishing my laundry and working on my comedy bit (just the final tweaks) before heading over for gluttony fest. I haven't eaten anything so I can eat a little of everything they have made.

While watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, I began to wonder. The commercialism of Christmas is so ridiculous. Nearly every float had a performer singing Christmas music, and every advertisement is about buying "things" to give to people. I actually prefer made gifts and things that come from the heart. In my case the two best presents I have ever received were a box full of groceries, and a song that was written and composed for me. Both gifts were from the heart, and I've never forgotten them. It just surprises me how much we all (myself included) get caught up in the buying of "things". This year...maybe I'll just bake bread.
