down in it

last weekend i found myself in the beautiful jenner celebrating misty's 40th birthday. the house had an amazing view of both the russian river & the ocean. sadly, i never made to the ocean but i did take advantage of sunning myself on the deck as well as doing laps in the hot tub. the festivities began friday afternoon and it didn't take long for the wine to make its entrance once we all arrived. by dinner time people were well on their way of being buzzed and it lasted throughout the night. it made perfect sense that the costumes & wigs exploded onto the scene with many different persona's appearing. i believe its safe to say that everyone was in full-party mode that evening. as things began to wind down a group of us headed off for the hot tub. what a perfect way to end a most fabulous evening.

saturday was spent sunning & hot tubing. we were a feeling the effects of the night before. i spent the night trying to sleep on a air mattress with a slow leak. not so much fun unless you enjoy sleeping at a 90% angle. that night was italian night with a most delicious meat sauce i've ever tasted. i kept my drinking down to one glass that night. things were a bit more low-key though many bottles of wine still got emptied.

i spent sunday lounging around while the others went off wine tasting. it was nice to chill out at the house. it was quite peaceful to sit and stare off into nature. we had an informal pj party that night. it was great seeing everyone in their pajamas. i do feel that i worked my pink hippo pjs quite well. most of the evening was spent chit-chatting with one another. it was great way to end the weekend.

we were up & out of the house by 10. we got back to sf around noon & i spent the rest of the day doing absolutely nothing. i was soooo tired. what a great weekend. there's nothing like hanging out with good friends. i look forward to many more getaways to come. just where we i end up next is anyone's guess...
