my friend, Charlsie

One of my long-time friends (I'm talking since we were babies), Charlsie, gave me this awesome bottle of wine when I saw her this weekend. Just out of the blue. Because I'm the middle sister. And I'm awesome. Or at least I like to think so. And I know Charlsie likes to think so.

Charlsie's one of my favorite friends, and I could spend the next few minutes listing off reasons why. But I think this little post says plenty.

The label on the back of the bottle reads...

Did you know that birth order is commonly believed to have a profound and lasting effect on psychological development? And that the middle sister has a greater chance of having a special wine named just for her? A sassy blend of our three favorite white varieties perfect for sipping before, during and after our favorite family meals. Some people are just born lucky. Now give me back my blouse.

And an excerpt from the website...

You may have fewer photos in the family album, but who knew someday you'd have your very own wine. So how about sharing it with the rest of us?...Sure, you're wicked but Mom always did like you best. Now we understand.

Bottle to the left is Middle Sister, Wicked White. Sold at [some] local Targets.

[This post dedicated to my older sister, Jennifer, and little sister, Robin Anne. Without which, I would not be a middle sister.]
