Stepping Out

I am finally re-joining the land of the living from my crazy night out last night (that ended at 11:00pm.) I had a work event that started at One Midtown Kitchen and ended at the stunning new Buckhead Theater. Also, I made the decision to drink with dinner last night, and drink I did. The food was AMAZING and we had four courses with wine pairings. My favorites were the oysters, pea soup and ricotta wrapped in burrata. It was just lovely and it was for a good cause benefiting the March of Dimes. I also got the chance to spend some quality time with my coworkers, which was wonderful. It is always nice to get to know people outside of the constraints of the workplace. At the Buckhead Theater we did the desserts and coffee station. There were wickedly delicious candied apples, ice cream cone cupcakes and blackberry and cheesecake gelato. Everything looked great! I would also like to say, for the record, do not have an alcohol detox for 11 days and then think you still have the same tolerance as before. Boy, did I learn that last night.

So to start off my Saturday morning, I woke up with a MASSIVE headache and immediately headed to the kitchen for a large water and advil. On the way, I tripped over shoes, my upside down purse and my dress. This just reiterated the advice that I didn't take from my mother last night, to "be a lady." But you can't look back, you must look forward. So my new rule of NOT drinking excessively has been put into effect and I prayed that I hadn't made a fool of myself. Then I went onto facebook and saw a picture that a friend took of me last night. YIKES. And yes, I am leaving out the most horrifying details, I know my mother is picking her chin up off the floor right now. Sorry mom. Anyway, I am definitely going to pace myself in the future and watch my consumption. It is just SO unattractive to be drunk. Period.

So back to the event, it was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it. The band, Abbey Road Live was awesome too! I also got the chance to reconnect with an old friend from college, so that was super fun! I am so excited about the opening of Buckhead Theater, it is going to be so great to see bands there, and I am so lucky that I live just about a block from it!

I am SO glad that the rain held out today, and I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful Saturday! I am puppy sitting, so I am about to get out and go for a walk to the park!
