Today Chris and I decided to take a short trip to Southport. I hadn't gone there in a while, I'd forgotten how beautiful it is there. I love historic downtowns, it's like Wilmington's but without the night clubs, ha ha.
Today Toria, Dennis, Chris and I went to Rose Hill to visit the Duplin Winery. We all LOVE their blackberry wine, so we decided to go and stock up. First we took a tour of the winery, then a free tasting. We bought a case of several different wines, half was blackberry wine but we also got some of the Christmas wines which are delicious.
Sitting in my car this morning.
Wednesday night I got to do something I'd wanted for a while now... I went to my first tweetup. If you're reading this wondering what the heck a tweetup is, it's a meet up for locals on Twitter.com. This was Wilmington's 3rd monthly event, I'd wanted to go to the previous ones but I always had to work. It was held at a show model home of Hagwood Homes with food from Chris's Cosmic Kitchen and drinks from Front Street Brewery. I loved the adorable cottage neighborhood the home was in, and the food and drinks were great (Hands down the BEST CHEESECAKE I have ever had!) I didn't get to take any pictures since my blackberry's battery was almost dead but Bruce Brown did, and even put a video of me in his blog post about the tweetup. :)
Does anyone know how hard it is to type a blog post while a very persuasive kitten sits on your lap and demands to be petted? Lucky was so adamant about getting attention that he started walking across my laptop keyboard, and when I lifted him off he took the number 4 key with him! Anyone know how to put it back? It looks like it snaps back on but I'm afraid to force it... ugh. I want to be mad at him but he's so adorable! Lol, it's just not possible to stay mad at such a sweet, purring, ball of fur curled up in your lap.
In other news, I joined the gym today. I've been a few times with a friend of mine and I like running (ok walking) on the treadmill while watching the TVs, I'm not crazy about work out dvds or using machines/weights though. Tonight I walked briskly for about 50 minutes, yay! And to treat myself I got a chilli cheese hot dog from sonic, so much for being healthy! Ha Ha!
Watched this for first time today with Erin, Dustin, and Dustin's baby Dawson. Best. Movie. Ever. In fact it's so good I'm going to watch it again with Netflix instant play right now lol.
Today was such a great Sunday; church, brunch with the guys, and then watching movies with friends followed by dinner at Hibachi Express.
I feel like I've been looking kinda goofy in pictures lately... hmm... gotta brush up on some modeling skills haha.
My friend Taryn just moved in with her boyfriend so she sold me her couch, very cushy and comfortable! Her boyfriend Matt brought it over today and squeezed it through my door lol. I still have my blue Ikea loveseat but I'll probably put it on craigslist in the next few days if none of my friends want it.
We decided to go out for martinis and appetisers tonight around 8:30 to beat the bar crowds, and because I have to get up early tomorrow. Taryn got a tomato tarte thingy that was kinda small for the price but it was french which is supposed to make up for it I think, lol. I had a great goat cheese and asparagus strudel with mushroom sauce, I would definitely get it again.
It was nice to get out and have some girl talk, I've been sitting home alone and bored way too much lately and Taryn needed a break from working on her new house. Hopefully we can make this a more regular event.
