Today was awesome. Just... Awesome. ^_^
Abby and I took turns trying to wake up for the day and get ready, but just as one of us would almost succeed, the other one would go back to sleep! We didn't get out the door until the mid-afternoon, which posed a problem since the wine tasting we were supposed to meet everybody at finished at 3pm! >_< Oopsies. But we were totally overjoyed at the amount of sleep we'd gotten in, and just texted Katie, asking her to bring us each a bottle of the best one. :)
We met everyone in the city to go to a burrito place that they all swore was amazing, but they'd all been too drunk from the wine tasting last time to really be able to remember too well - haha! As it turned out, though, it really was delicious!! ^_^ I got a steak burrito with extra sour cream, a big thing of chips and guac, and *drumroll* a Delirium Tremens!!! Yummmmmy Belgian beer with yummmmmmy Mexican food FTW!!!
After lunch, we decided to wander over to an American style bakery called "Wicked Sweet," but when we finally found it - giggling all the way there about Jennifer Nasky and Tigs (teeheehee) - it was closed for siesta. And so we decided to do the rational thing - sit on the steps, open our bottles of wine, and wait. ^_^ The chocolate Guinness cake with cream cheese frosting I got was way worth that tipsy wait, too!!
Everybody decided to go home after that, but I wanted to wander for awhile, and so I did. :) I got a new earring (possibly the first new one I've ever gotten it since right after I pierced it five years ago?!), belly button ring and a super skirt from Zara to wear on my birthday! ^_^
When I got home, Abby, Katie and I had a girls night in our room with peanut butter cups and more wine and we hung out, getting the giggles over and over again.
It was a pretty simple day, but surrounded by friends, yummy food and drink, one of my favorite cities and lots and lots of laughter.... And all those things combined served to make it one of my favorite Saturdays I've had here!! ^_^
Dude, just sitting around town, drinking wine from the bottle? That sounds so AWESOME! (And a little homeless!)
ReplyDeleteI await pictures of the earrings!
And man, it is SO WEIRD to hear about people I've known for a long time drinking beer.
