Drunkenness. And kittens.

This past weekend I flew down to VA to visit my friend Lindsey!  I hadn't been down to see her in quite a long time!  My flight landed pretty late on Friday night (I had to work a full day, so I landed after 10pm), and then we stayed up wayyyy too late chatting and catching up!  We were both super tired the next morning, but it was worth it :)

On Saturday afternoon we went to a winery in Williamsburg, VA, and we had such a fun tour and tasting!!  The tasting included quite a few wines, so were both feeling quite tipsy by the time we were done!  Buuuuut we weren't done there, because then we had lunch at their restaurant and split a bottle of wine.  So, then we were just plain drunk.  Buuuuuut we weren't done yet!  Because then we went to a party with some of Lindsey's co-workers/friends, and we continued to drink there! Lindsey's friend had made a huuuuuge container of rum punch, so we had some of that (it was SO strong!), and then we had dinner (soooo delicious!!), and then we went outside to play Jenga!  It was a really large Jenga game, and it was SO fun. Lindsey was smart and slowed down (or stopped?) her drinking at this point, but not me!  I was super dumb and thought I was still in college or something, and I drank a LOT for the whole rest of the night. Ugh, I drank WAY too much. I was definitely a drunken idiot, but I am happy to report that I somehow did NOT get sick (I really have no idea how...), and somehow (again, I have no idea how...) I didn't feel terrible in the morning either!!  I usually get THE WORST hangovers (and I never drink anywhere near that much), but I think my body was trying to give me a "free pass" or something since I'd been so dumb. I definitely didn't feel 100% the next day, but I felt WAYYYYYY better than I should have been feeling. So, I will gratefully accept my "free pass", and try to never ever ever drink that much in one day again.

These are cement "eggs" that the winery uses to ferment their wines!  I'd never seen these before!

You can see how tall the Jenga game could get!  I have no idea how many games we played... 

Lindsey's on a ladder! 

This is Theresa scoping out her next move! 

On Sunday we went out to breakfast, and then we went back to Lindsey's house to play a few games of Yahtzee before I had to leave to go to the airport!  The trip flew by, and I hope I get the chance to see Lindsey again soon (and next time Lindsey can be the drunken idiot and I'll be the smart one!  We can take turns!  Haha)!

When I got back to Philly on Sunday, Kevin and I went to his sister Mo's house to meet the little kittens she is fostering!  They are too young to be adopted (only 4 weeks old!), so she is fostering them until they can go to their forever homes. They are soooo tiny, and so dang cute!  One of them is the runt of the litter, so she's seriously the smallest kitten I have ever seen in my life.  She's a spunky one too, so they named her Aria (from Game of Thrones). We had so much fun playing with them and cuddling them!!

The rest of the week has been pretty chill, except work is TOTALLY killing us both right now. The past month or so has just been really awful at work for both me and Kevin.  So, I am job hunting like crazy, but nothing has hit yet.  I'm hoping that I either find something else soon, or we win the lottery (the lottery would be VERY preferable). That's all that's going on here!  I hope everything is going great for you!!
