Sweet Cheeks wine tasting room
Root beer is classier in a wine glass (and tastes better when it's free)

Last night a bunch of us girls got together and went up to Sweet Cheeks Winery. It was a much needed break from the fruitless job searching and the silence of my apartment. The weather was absolutely perfect: not too hot and not a cloud in the sky. One of the perks about being the non-drinker in the group was that my drink of choice (root beer) was compliments of Sweet Cheeks. I liked that they gave me a wine glass to drink it in; not only did I get drink out of the big kid glass, but since they poured the whole bottle in, anyone who didn't know what I was drinking probably thought I was a lush. Ha!
Three bottles of wine later, we made our way back into Eugene and hit up Starlight, which was packed with law students. I kinda felt like the senior that graduated from high school the year before but still goes to the high school parties, but this was nowhere near as creepy since we weren't 18 year olds hitting on high school freshman.
Since alcohol and an empty stomach is not a good combination, we found a street vendor that was selling hot dogs, which I was happy to buy for anyone that needed one since the last thing I wanted was someone throwing up (especially in my car). I've had that happen once and it was the worst experience of my life. Luckily, everyone just got nice and drunk and my sanity remained relatively intact. A successful night indeed!
For future reference though, wearing heels for extended periods of time the night before you plan on running 10 miles is not the best idea. Also, not eating dinner and just grabbing handfuls of cheese and crackers instead isn't exactly the greatest pre-run meal. Oh well, the extra minute added to my pace was worth the night out...
