Any Port In The Storm

Wanna know the first thing that came into my mind while considering a gift for my girl?
PORT.
She loves it. There isn't a beverage on the planet that lights this girl up the way Port does. And I do mean "lights". She glows. Blissful, elated, completely at peace with the world. That's why Port does to my Gin.
Ok, so I'll get her a bottle of Port. But everyone knows you can't just get a bottle of booze, especially for your significant other. Either way, a higher priced bottle of the goodness won't hurt the ensemble present package.
I do that a lot. I won't have enough faith in one gift so I'll just keep adding to the bundle. Hey, it can't hurt.
Oh, and about the title of this post: when we met I'm pretty sure we would have settled for much less than each other. What I mean to say is: being desperate doesn't rule out finding someone special.
I love you, baby.

The Year In Review...

So it's 2pm Friday, December 24th, 2010.  Christmas Eve. But for all intents and purposes, it's GinniChristmas! Truth: right now is the first time this season I have even considered what "to give" the people in my life. The person closest to me, both physically (the piece of meat I lay next to every night) and emotionally (the persona I somehow wish both to pulverize and cherish, often at once) Virginia Christine Pinckert, should already be taken care of. But she's not. And honestly the only reason I have started considering what to give her this Christmas was that she pulled the "I'm gonna be running errands you can't know about this afternoon..." in what most certainly was an attempt to remind me to get her a present.
Here it is, doll.
