love me some chicken fried.

what is it about live country music that brings everyone back to their college drinking days?  don't get me wrong. i am all about a good reason to get a little crazy, but i don't understand the correlation.

last night's festivities at zac brown band were no exception.  a three hour tailgate complete with bubble vodka shots turned the actual concert a bit hazy... but i did meet a boy that my drunken mind told me was darn near perfect.  cuddled into his arms for a majority of the night and country music playing in the background ... uh, hello! that is my idea of a successful night. haha.

the best part is that i was able to walk away from it and have the mentality "making out is like a drunken hello" ... yup, i was right back into that college state of  mind!  just like everyone else...  the lyrics from "as she's walking away" did feel fitting for the end of the night though... he has my number. ball is in his court. that's how i play. :)

peace. love. & country music.

relighting an old flame.

its name is Blogger. ... it has definitely been a minute since i've poured a part of life into cyber space.  and why one might ask?  well to be honest, my life is in one word: mellow.  compared to the non-stop life i led during some amazing days when i lived in arizona, my life has come to a literal screeching halt.  but for all the best reasons... a wise twenty three year old might say.

not only is my LIFE somewhat uneventful but, i also don't have interests. ... er, that came out wrong. i do have interests.  just not the provoking kinds that other people would be genuinely interested in or the ones that many of my other creative-minded friends have found such a compelling way of critiquing.

i do magically find my time wasted by surfing wedding blogs, attending countless Padres games with the genuine hope of catching a player's (a.k.a. my future husband's) eye, watching hours of shows on TLC & HGTV, and working for free-ninety-nine at my dad's winery...

and WHY am i posting to a blog at 11:30pm on a Saturday night while just about everyone else in my generation is making careless choices and creating memories they won't remember tomorrow? not because i am righteous or strong-willed... not at all. actually, when it comes to a Saturday night, those are two things i am not. :) the honest truth is that i am "working".  my "work" this evening consists of babysitting one of the many venues i work for to ensure the event does not cause a riot ... literally.  therefore i am bored.  and a bored raquel means a lot of rambling...

but i'll end my ramble here. expect more to come now that i have unlocked another detour to being productive. :)
