A little NCAA will do you good!

Saturday was fun!

I got together with Nicole around eight. We headed over to a restaurant/bar in the area to watch the first half of the Syracuse game. Syracuse has been doing so well in the tournament and the bar was packed! It's really awesome to see local support. I didn't get to stay long, I was meeting up with the rest of the crew at another bar. I stayed with Nicole and chit chatted about things, she always has a way of making me feel better about my situation. I didn't have anything to drink there, because if I did--I would have just stayed there for the rest of the night.

After I said a quick goodbye, I headed over to our usual hang out for the second half of the game. I made it just in time to wrap it up. So sad that my orange men didn't win, but they're still my favorite color! Marissa came home from Albany and I was so happy to see her. I finally got to meet her mother, which is hilarious to me. Marissa's parents were really strict when we were teenagers. For some odd reason, we ALWAYS said we were at Nikki's when really we were up to no good. I used to drop off Marissa at the end of her drive way super early in the morning, so she could sneak back into her house. Even though her mom has only seen my face now, I'm sure she knew what kind of a car I drove! 

We went to a micro brewery that recently opened up in our area. Um...not a fan. The atmosphere was really cool, but the beer--was not. They make their own beer, and the alcohol content ranges from 13-17%. I'm not a big beer fan, so I wasn't really interested. I ended up just getting a glass of reisling. Judging by the look on everyone else's face...seemed like they were just drinking the beer to get drunk. Should have taken more pictures of the after beer taste faces!

In all, it was a good night. Sadly, Nikki and I did cheat towards the end. We split a sample platter at another bar, and called it a night. I wasn't feeling too guilty about it. I knew that her and I would do our part to work it off, and definitely portion control carefully for the next week after our junk food hell!
