Let them drink scotch...

And by "them", I mean "me"!

We got our Christmas bonuses from the 'B yesterday. Always a great day, especially since that is my Christmas shopping money every year. It's probably something I shouldn't wait on to do my Christmas shopping, because one of these years they'll probably not do it, and give out a set of Jellies of the World, and all everyone will get for Christmas will be something to mix with peanut butter. But I do. Every year since they started the practice. Wait for that one extra check and start shopping.

So, I get the checke yesterday and in one marathon 4 hour session took care of my whol family with the exception of my 2 sisters and brother and law. Alison, I know what she's getting, I just have to order it from Amazon, because I couldn't find it in the 3 stores I went to yesterday. Julie and Jorge, well I never know what to get them. More thinking is required on that front.

But after all that shopping, and with some money left over, I decided to be good to myself. There's a liquor store around the corner from my house. I hadn't been to it before, but my roomate and her boyfriend were raving about it, especially since they got a $100 bottle of tequila on sale there for $30. It was good tequila, too, and I don't even like the stuff. Also, they said, it had a good scotch selection.

Well, they were lying. It didn't have a good scotch selection. It had a GREAT scotch selection! One of, if not the best, I've ever seen. Picked up a nice bottle of Glen Morangie Burgundy Wood Finish 10 year. I like the Glenmorangie various wood finish scotches, and had never seen the Burgundy option before.

Let me tell you, after two glasses last night, I may have a new favorite scotch. Light and very sweet it was. I had only planned to have one glass, but had to have two it was so good.

Mmm, scotch. Merry Christmas to me.
