8. sounds good! It's a bit chilly here this evening, so
a whisky would be nice. Thanks! :hi:

Beautiful country, yes. But some of the residents = scary fundies. I'm originally from southern California and these here folks confuse me sometimes...

A native of this corner of the country, in fact, but with deep roots in your general region. In fact, 4 close family members live in NC and cast their early votes for BARACK OBAMA this past Friday!! :bounce:

15. I just so happen to be finishing off a Napa cab right now!
A bargain (Robert Parker flipped out about it)--around $10 a bottle, Avalon Napa Valley Cabernet 2005. :9

fan-freaking-tastic

It's been a loooooong 7 years and 10 months, my friend. :pals:

I don't think either of us thought it would take this long, but it looks like the wait this time was worth it.

4. Finally!1! - Can I please have a Bacardi and diet Coke, no lime.
Thanks!!

My nerves aren't rattled. I'm to numb physically to be rattled. I really should be lying down and resting, as it's been taking a toll on me lifting heavy objects for 3 days. A strong drink just might do the trick and knock me out for the sleep I very much need tonight. I'm soooo exhausted.

32. Some dry white wine, please.
Not chardonnay.

I wanted to celebrate tomorrow but Wednesday is full - a house showing, another job interview - so I'm having some wine tonight and trying to focus on the positive. I feel like we are about to witness something incredible, but I don't know if it will be good or bad. A toast to an Obama win, and to the promised change. :toast:

For some reason I feel very confident tonight and that frightens the heck out of me because that's usually a bad sign.

Some Baileys Irish Cream may do me good
