This was a gift from Ryan recently; it’s a wine tube and I loooove it. Let me tell you why. First off, I’ve been lusting after this wine tube for more than a year. I actually tried to buy it from a discount online retailer, only to learn that the store was fake and they had stolen my money (shame on them!), but that didn’t dissuade me from going to a real store, The Century House, every couple weekends to lust after it in person. When it was finally in my hands, I was delighted to say the least.
But let me tell you, this thing was hell to attach to the wall. I have never used profanity on this blog, but trust me, it is needed in this case. First of all, you have to use wall plugs, which you may already know are a huge pain to push – no, pound – into drywall, in order to attach the thing securely. Which I did after a copious amount of energy. I was feeling pretty good about my work and stepped back to admire it, except, what? Is this thing crooked?! Why, yes, it is. Crap. (Except I used a far harsher expletive).
So I had to take this thing off the wall, try to get one of the plugs out of the wall successsfully – plugs that are designed to stay in the wall once they’re there – and start completely over. I very nearly broke completely down. You have no idea.
But see the pretty photo above? Success! And I even got some more wine to display and enjoy. Because I deserve this wine tube. A lot.
