Yesterday I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work, and decided to pick up a bottle of wine to have with dinner. I painstakingly selected a nice-looking Riesling and got in line with that and my dinner ingredients. The cashier scanned my wine and asked if she could see my ID. “Sure,” I said, and got out my wallet. Only to find that my driver’s-license pocket was empty.
Last week Tim and I had gone to a wine-tasting event at the zoo, and I made him carry my ID so I wouldn’t have to take a purse. He forgot to give it back, and as it turns out I’ve been driving around without my license all week.
Anyway, I couldn’t produce my ID, so the clerk wouldn’t sell me my wine. I told her I understood that she couldn’t bend the rules, so I paid for the rest of my groceries and went on my way. But it was embarrassing! She probably thought I was one of those underagers who “forget” their ID on purpose and try to buy alcohol anyway. Which I’m not! I’m turning 25 in two weeks! But I guess it’s good that I am not wrinkly yet.

I know this is off topic…but did you see the Daily Kitten from Wednesday August 2nd? As soon as I saw it, I thought of Tess and Max always being by your computer! I thought it was sweet :-)

Haha! That is cute. They still try to sleep on the computer - Tess especially. I guess it’s nice and warm.

I like that the wine tasting was at the zoo.
