necklace ~ Shop in the City

i wore this dress out with some friends the other night. they took chris and i out to dinner and then we took them to our favorite dive bar afterwards. typically i need to be fairly tipsy to fully appreciate this dive bar. and seriously, when i say dive bar, i mean it. it's about the size of a boxcar and every single video game, tv, plus the juke box, is plugged into the same outlet. you used to be able to see all the electrical cords, but now they have classed it up by covering them with duct tape.

but this is my kind of bar. i can play whatever i want on the juke box (sometimes it's johnny cash, sometimes it's bob dylan and sometimes it's new kids on the block), and drinks are cheap. plus, when i get all dressed up to go out, and we end up there, i am usually the best dressed person in the bar. (but that's not saying much.) also, when we have to walk there the next day to get our car (drink responsibly), it's only a mile from our house!

saturday night, i still wasn't feeling 100%, so i ended up not getting tipsy, and i was afraid the bar wouldn't be as much fun. but let me tell you, there is something extremely enjoyable about watching other drunk people. i saw lots of men hitting on lots of women wearing sequin baseball hats (yes, there was more than one). i saw men full of tattoos, who rode in on harleys playing one direction on the juke box (they didn't know i was watching). i saw my friends proceed to drink one drink, one shot, and one beer (isn't that a song?) at bar close, and i was glad that i was sober enough to play mama bear. because when we hopped in the cab and my friend passed out on my chest as the cab driver started yelling bigoted obscenities out the window, i knew i was sober enough to get us all home safely.
