Wednesday

Its so fun to unexpectedly go out and have a blast. Yesterday afternoon my sister-in-law J. asked me if I wanted to take her husband's place at a wine tasting/benefit that they had bought tickets for. He was held up at work and wouldn't be getting home until the benefit was over, so I was like "hmmm, free wine, free food and a free night away from home? Let me think..." and INSTANTLY said yes. It was aw-some! I left C. with baby V. put on some cute jeans and a flowy tank top, some flat sandals and I was out the door! They had gourmet foods paired with the wines, and like 2-7 different choices of wine at each of the 11 tables. I was pleasantly surprised, because when I found out it was at a grocery store, I had very low expectations. I was imagining Judy Homemaker and her 4 wild hellions bumping me with their cart overfilled with soda and hotpockets, but it was nothing like that. It was held at a very fancy specialty grocery store. They had closed the store down to everyone who didnt have tickets. What a fun way to spend a Wednesday night! Me and J. had the most fun of anyone there I think, because we were also people watching. We saw "John Mayer", "Prince William", a drag queen, an anorexic "Brittany Spears" (or short haired Amy Winehouse?), a drunk woman (who was probably drunk before she got to the tasting) and the most enormous feather brooch I've ever seen! It was great!
