Party In The Hills!!!

So I was invited to a party in the hills...Placerville to be specific.  "D"s house reminded me a lot of Foresthill, the town I left behind in the divorce.  The smell of the pine the cooler air, everything was awesome.  My awesome girlie "A" drove, so I could drink if I wanted (she isn't a drinker).

We ate pulled pork sandwiches (I did mine without bread), and all kinds of sides to choose from. I drank three beers, which I don't normally do outside of Mexico. Toured the home and compared construction notes. Checked out his 74 Dodge Challenger with the 360...very sweet, all original paint, parts, etc.

They also had live music.  A guy set up his guitar, amp, pedals and went to town.  A very handsome and funny guy, I might add. We were all singing and dancing and just having a great time.  I didn't know most of the people there, but I never have issues with that.  I just walk around and introduce myself to everyone and chatting.  If they don't want to engage, they walk away.  I didn't have that problem tonight though.  Everyone was just nice and sociable.

There was a moment on the deck where I'm looking up at the sky and the twilight and I'm thinking that I need to do more of this. Accept more invites and be more sociable.  I mean, it's not that I'm not sociable, I just have a lot to do and I'm always busy. But it was nice meeting new people and seeing people outside of work.  My job does not define me, but sometimes I think I let it.

And the hummingbirds...OMG, these people must be hummingbird whisperers!  Although they did have like...6 feeders hanging from the rafters.  When you have that much hummingbird crack available, you're gonna attract the junkies that need their fix...and they did!  I have NEVER seen so many at a time...there must've been 30 hummingbirds just flitting around, landing, eating, chasing each other.  It was a total trip...and I swear I'm not exaggerating...if anything, I may be understating the amount of those birds.  Totally something else!

Well, I'm home now.  Gonna have me a fireball night cap and head to la la land.  I'm planning on going to the farmers market in the morning and getting some spices and veggies.

G'nite!
