In the quest of the perfect martini, I went out and did something insane: I paid $53.99 for a bottle of gin!! Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin. Of course, this is sooo like me...always on a quest for the exotic....but even I was feeling a little guilty as I drove home from the store. But now I really have a problem: it's really, I mean, extremely good! I'm sitting here doing a taste test between it and my usual standby, Tanqueray (about $16.00/bottle), and, let me tell you, "Old Raj" makes Tanqueray taste like jet feul! What am I gonna do now?!?!?!? Who knew it would be soooo much better?!?!?!? How can I afford to drink like this?!?!?! What have I done to myself!?!?!?!!!!

I just ordered a Sewing Genie!!
Yeah....so I never sew!...but it's just like the commercial says, I never sew because I don't want to drag out my great big 2 ton monolith of a sewing machine that I don't know how to use anyway....and, like the commercial says, anyone can use the Sewing Genie!!
I had to have one (but why???..Nevermind why!) So...I ordered it off their web page....and let me tell you, there's a few things you need to know, in case you wanted one for yourself. After you have completed your order, or think you have, they offer you about a thousand more accessories for the the thing (some of which you're not sure you really need, but feel obligated to buy). So the price in the end is not really $39.95...it's much, much more!! And also they give you the opportunity to buy additional Sewing Genies at a huge discount!!! This means that if all your friends want one (and you know they do), don't order them separately....order one, go through check out, then you can order all the additional ones at the special secret discount price! Genius!
But lastly, you need to know, that after you go through all that, and you finally have your order completely completed, they tell you you'll have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for your order! Four to six weeks?!?!?!? Where's my instant gratification?!?! This is the internet!!! Everything you order on the internet is supposed to arrive almost immediately!! That's why I order from the internet!! 4 to 6 weeks is an eternity! I might change my mind by then...I could learn how to use my two ton monster by then!!
Well...when I finally get it (about a thousand years from now!) I'll let you know...until then, stay tuned.....
