BECCA FAVORITE THING #2
DRINKING WITH FRIENDS
I realize that I might be stretching it on this category a little bit, but I love it! I really do. There is just something so fun about drinking with friends! Thinking back on all of the fun occasions that I have gathered witha group of people and had a few....the memories, laughs, stories and unfortunately headaches! that have come from those times are CERTAINLY some of my favorite things. Being as busy as I am, and now a mother, and a mother who is trying to get fit and run 3 or 4 times a week, booze is just really not a part of my life. So! How glad was I when Danny's Tavern in Bucktown decided they would throw one of their fabulous Peace Party's in Open Books honor and donate half the bar to us! So, it was on! Having to DRINK with friends and co-workers to raise $$$ for Open Books!?
Let me just show you how it went in photos....
It started out great! Shanna and Andrew and Maggie all turned out to help the cause.
Erin and Stacy were there of course! Love this picture.
THEN the shots started, To Literacy! To Open Books!
And then, after some time, a few beers later...I decided to try Dani's drink!
It took me a little bit to recover...just because whiskey has a cherry in it, does NOT make it delicious.
Tequila + Whiskey makes everything funny.
Does it sound bad that one of the things I am dreading most about training for the marathon this fall is that I will really not be able to DRINK much this summer? It probably does sound bad...but last spring I was pregnant, last summer, I was nursing....sigh. I must be a grown up adult now....but summer is just SUCH a great time to drink with friends. There must be a happy balance...and I will find it! Before I am pregnant again :-) By the WAY! We raised $1200 dollars! Great fundraiser and GREAT fun.
