Keep the Glass a Little Full

So many fun things to tell you about..the most new and exciting one is that my dress for Sugarplum's wedding arrived approximately 20 minutes ago at my doorstep! Minus the fact that the doorbell upset Tink (he must have just been on the verge of sleep), I'm very pleased with the transaction. I didn't have to pay any duty on it, so my estimate was almost $45 over what I ended up paying. I was pretty nervous about getting my dress via the Internet, but it worked out well in the end. I'm happy with the size I went with (even though it will need some adjustment) and it's just so gorgeous that I'm wearing it as I type. :)


The other fun thing I wanted to tell you was that Tink and the Rideau Canal finally met for the first time yesterday and it was love at first sight! It was way too cold to do much besides get some token pictures, but I'm hoping we'll get on there again at some point before the end of the season.

Finally, last night I learned that my strange ritual of leaving a bit of liquid in the bottom of my glass or bottle may be an obsessive compulsive thing. Ms. D & Mr. C were over for some Superbowl action and at the end of the night I had to dump out the last of my beer out of my beer bottle. Krazy mentioned the little girl from the movie Signs always did that too and that it was because she had OCD. However, I've been thinking about it and I think it's more the case that I like to have some around later if I want some. Or, maybe a holdover from the days when there wasn't much moula so I treasured my precious drinks from the fridge. I don't know. Or, maybe I'm so much of an optimist that I like to leave something in the glass at all times. :)

AND, speaking of the Superbowl - what did you all think of the half-time performance by Prince? Dude freaked me out a little bit with the black hankerchief on his head...and for some reason the whole middle part of his medley was non-Prince songs! He has such a rich and varied repertoire, I was disappointed that we only heard Let's Go Crazy and Purple Rain. My final complaint was that there wasn't near enough camera time on his guitar playing. All in all? To me this was just another case in point that since he turned Jehovah's Witness his funk has been dulled. I guess the Superbowl half-time show's funk has been dulled recently too. Damn nipplegate.
