A LadyLee Geeky Moment

We interrupt our regular broadcasting to bring you a

LadyLee GEEKY Moment.

Over the past few months I've done a bit of wine shopping...

This is odd.

I don't drink.

I happen to frequent a few stores that boast enormous wine selections.

I like coming across strange wines, and since many of my friends drink wine, I find that it is a nice gift to give when going to someone's house for a get-together of any sort.

(That and a batch of cookies. People LOVE cookies more than wine, lol).

If you read this blog on a regular basis, you will find that I have a strange fascination with "Bitch" wine.



This is my wine of choice to give to friends. Let's just say, it is memorable. And it is not the typical Merlot. It is an Australian Barossa Grenache. (You won't remember that, but you will remember the name brand "Bitch". LOL)

But something happened last week, when I was walking through my beloved "White People's Kroger" grocery store. This is store they built in the hood when all the white people started moving back to the inner city. It is very nice, very clean, and the check out lines are very short.

Humph.

I buy Bottles of Bitch at this store.

But I was walking down an aisle, and I saw a wine that made me pause.

And scream "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

A young man was walking by. I startled him when I yelled. He gave me a strange look, then hurried past me with his cart.

I picked up the bottle, studied the label intensely for a full minute. SMILED real HARD. Got REAL dizzy.

It was almost orgasmic, it was.

At 22 dollars, the wine was more expensive than I care to pay. Bitch cost 11 bucks a bottle.

But uh, I had to get it, this bottle of Educated Guess...

I took it home, placed it on the table and took a picture.



I gasped in horror when Kramer jumped up on the table. I think he saw a bird outside and was trying to look out the window. Kramer got yelled at real hard for jumping up on the table. He was looking at me sideways for the rest of the day, lol.

Look real close... At that label.

Oh. My. Goodness.

The chemical equations for the fermentation of alcohol. Thermodynamic and kinetics graphs and equations. And my area of training, the organic chemistry. And they are CORRECT.

As a chemist, that turns me ON!!

Had an Oldgirl all **Giddy Giddy Giddy**

Yeah, me and my geekiness.

I'm such a nerd.

But I love all things chemistry.

Sigh. Hard sigh. smile.

*Lee hugs bottle of Guess close to her bosom*

We now return to our regular broadcasting...
