It's official as of 1pm-ish today, Fall has officially arrived!!! Spring & Fall are my favorite seasons. I love the mild/cool weather. The downside to Fall is when all the leaves fall from the trees, but it's just a part of it.
I hope you all had a great weekend. If you didnt, I have had enough fun for you.
We stayed in Friday night b/c I was feeling horrible for some crazy reason. I was all better on Saturday though, and it was just in time!
Saturday was the Wine on the River event. I mentioned this last year, but here's a brief refresher: it's held on an old bridge (which is now only for pedestrians) overlooking downtown. You pay about $50 for a ticket, but you get a wine glass as you walk in and there are 30 something booths/tents setup and most of those tents have wines from different brands/wineries. They dont really 'fill up' your glass each time, and that probably is a good thing considering there is so much wine and 4 hours to enjoy it. Needless to say, we all got a bit of a wine buzz anyway.
It didnt stop at 7pm though, oh no. Five of us jumped in a taxi-van and headed back to our neighborhood where there was more wine & food awaiting at our friends Casey & Shane's house. Good times!!!
As if Saturday's festivities werent enough, Sunday was game-day. Shane got our gang of 5 tickets to the Titans game against the Houston Texans. We had a lot of fun and the Titans won to boot!!! We did walk across the pedestrian bridge mentioned above to get to the Coliseum, but sadly all the wine was gone :)
We watched the Emmy's last night. I thought they were sorta boring, but I was glad to see how well 30 Rock did. If you dont already watch that show, you're missing out and should pick it up when the new season starts. It's a very fun, smart comedy. I couldnt agree with the star of the show more (Tina Fey) who hopes she is done playing Sarah Palin come November 5th.
That's about all for now.
Enjoy fall!!!!!!

LOL about Tina Fey's comment!!!!!
That bridge sounds like something out of the Dustin Hoffman movie "Perfume" (do you know it?).
Your weekend sounds like so much fun - I would have enjoyed it, too, except for the wine drinking. As you know, I can't approve of that. Wine is from the Devil.
I dont know that movie, but the bridge is great. It has great views.

P.S. I prefer to look at it this way. Wine is not from the devil. It's a gift of delicious grapes from God. He/She wants us to drink it.
wine gives me a headache! :(
Hey Casey - I was being silly (I often am!). Self-mockery. The fact is I love wine. And I agree with you ... it is a gift from god. It's one of the joys in life.
Wow. I missed the boat on this post. I remember your post from last year about this event. It sounds like so much fun. You had pictures last year, though!
I can't wait for the new season of 30 Rock. I started to get into last season, just as it was wrapping up!
Have a good night, Mimi-Puss.
