Life of a former witch

I've outgrown my wicked witch of the west ways. Reflections of life afterwards, living in the desert with two cats, friends, family, and my hot and cold love life.

more experimenting with wine

Okay, it was bound to happen. You find some great stuff at cheap prices, sooner or later you'll find something that doesn't sit well with you.

I was at Target Friday night. It was probably an omen, but I figured I'd give them a chance. I wanted a white to drink for the weekend. I grabbed a Fetzer Pinot Grigio. I was not sure what would be good, and I've had good luck with random pinot grigios in the past.

I really wanted to try the Bella Serra, but couldn't bring myself to pay the $25 price tag.

So I settled for a $8 Fetzer.

If it was July, I would have attributed a lot of this to being left in the summer heat. It's just terrible. I can't finish this bottle, so that's saying a lot.

I learned that I'll make the extra trip to Trader Joe's from Target. No offense to Target - they're good at a lot of things, but I wouldn't buy wine from there again. There's a Trader Joe's down the road from Target, and it's not really going out of my way to go there, so it'll be worth the second stop.

Guess I better get the kitties inside before Magnum beats up another interloper.

After breaking my pinky toe on the base of the cat condo, I seriously considered trashing it.

Then both Magnum and Adira started to use the scratching post part of it. Much perfer them using the scratching post than my couch.

Then Adira started to sleep next to it. She likes to sleep with her arms and head slightly raised. So she'd flump her top half on the base of the cat condo, and the rest of her next to it.

But there's a nice sleeping compartment on it. I'd like one or two of them to use it. So I took a towl on the sleeping compartment since Magnum started sleeping on towels. No takers. So I sprinkled some cat nip on the towel.

Today, I was looking for Adira in her usual sleeping spots. Finally found her on the sleeping compartment.

Yes!
