I may need a keeper....

Sometimes, I swear, I just really scare myself.

Take yesterday for example. It was a good day. I got up early (not so good), spent some time talking with friends (always good) then splurged with a day of "beauty". (well, tryin' anyway)

I got home and decided a nice, quiet evening with a book was in order. I fixed a big batch of pasta and veggies and went to open a bottle of wine.

Here's where I need the help.

I couldn't get the flippin' corkscrew to work. Seriously. I've probably opened over a thousand bottles of wine in my time, but last night you'da thought I was some kind of novice. After some struggle I'm sure I looked more like a desperate wino. I actually had the thought I could just break the damned neck off and strain the glass out.

I finally got some give in the cork. Ohhh it's comin'. I can feel it. WooHoo.

So I twisted.

I pulled.

I twisted some more.

Than - all of a sudden - POP.

and WHAP.

Right in my face.

I have a lovely mark now.....I'm just not sure how I'll explain this one.

Good thing it's a long weekend.........

But damn - it sure was good wine!
