last thursday night i went to the first concert i've been to in years! rocked out to the Naked and Famous with my bestie. i dont' know if it's just been so long since my last concert, or if i've just never paid attention before, but i couldn't help but do a little "people watching." and i felt old!!!! lol 99.1234235345% of the crowd was between the ages of 14 and 17!! here i am, my tiny but 28 year old self, surrounded by a sea of babies!! it was pretty funny, awkward, whatever haha. there was a moment where i felt like a mom though. this group of three inebriated teenage girls shoved their way through about half way into the set. my sassy self made it known that their pushy, drunken selves weren't welcome to stand directly in front of me. one girl had the nerve to wrap her arms around me and attempt to drunkenly try to rationalize their rudeness by being all "peace and love girlfriend." i gave her a verbal finger wag for underage drinking, took her beer away and sent the three of them on their way. i die thinking of how matronly this sounds!!! lol now, i won't dare say i was an angle as a teen, but i was certainly more on the slower-to-experiment, maybe-even-socially-naive spectrum. seeing kids drinking at an age when i was 126% enveloped in school, friends, music, pep rallies, etc... really does a number on me... but i digress. it was a great night. :)

| me n the bestie :) |
saturday evening brought a bit more of an age appropriate event. i attended my first wine walk! the night was absolutely lovely. perfectly crisp, but not too chilly, fall weather. the guy and i met up with a coworker of mine and her boyfriend. we chatted and meandered from station to station sipping and sharing our not-so-wine-snobby thoughts with each pour. the event offered 20 different wines, but this lightweight group sampled about half before we all agreed food was in order. the event was held at my favorite outdoor mall in town, where one of my favorite restaurants/sports grills happens to call home. lucky for me, my three companions like Yard House as well. whether it be the wine, the company, or the beautiful night, we chatted the evening away.

afterwards, the dude and i stopped by a friends house for a bit. side note: we were invited to two halloween parties, both of which were at the same exact time as the wine walk. one was a costume party, which we just knew we'd never be able to make, since we'd either have to go back home (clear across town) to change after the walk, or bring our costumes and makeup with us and attempt to change in the car. neither option sounded at all appealing. the second party was more of a casual fall get together, and sounded much more up our alley. so that's how that decision was made...
yup, so those are my happy thoughts from the weekend. :)
halloween is in two days!! are you excited?
