Time to Stop "Wine"-ing

This weekend was so fun! I'm mostly a homebody I think, so, when I do go out I'm just so dang excited about it. Yesterday was Estrogen-y Girl-y Day and it was awesome. Sara, Jessica, Brandi, Emily, and Emily's friends and I went to WINE FEST, which was almost as wonderful as CHOCOLATE FEST. Chocolate Fest is so beautiful that it always brings me close to tears because I can't believe how lucky I am to be there with all the chocolate. But, this festival was really cool too! I need to make sangria and hot apple wine at home asap. We kept our class and maturity up for a really long time. Eventually the wine samples worked their magic and coaxed us back to our natural personalities(read: laughing a lot and not very mature at all actually as a matter of fact). I read something the other day that said that laughter is not so much about humor as it is about bonding. I don't know how I feel about that statement, but, it makes you think a bit. We went to Zazou's and I went outside with Brandi to keep her company while she smoked. We sat in a stairwell that was covered and watched the rain and talked about this and that. My tum was warm from the wine and I love talking to Brandi and watching the rain was nice. I told her that right now, in that moment, I felt completely content. Later, we walked over to where my cousin bartends. It always makes me happy to see him. We played the jukebox and danced around. I love how extremely serious and passionate Emily is about dancing. Any time someone I care about is really, really into something (like a song or a book or in Emily's case- dancing) I automatically have a love and respect for it too. We danced and we danced and we danced. I went home early and Steve came over for a visit with a dog that I love that he was dog-sitting named Josie. She is so big and darling and her personality is cool. I gave her big hugs and thought about how life is just so perfect. Next weekend is Tiffany's Halloweenie party. I'm really excited about it and after bouncing back and forth a while I am REALLY excited about the costume I'm making. Oh boy, oh boy. The point of this post, I guess, is that I am very happy and I have been for quite some time. Here's Wine Fest & pals:
