That's what I call Costco.  If you live in a city and need a break from it, don't drive to the country and spend $50 bucks on gas - just go to Costco and spend $50 on a 10 gallon tub of peanut butter!  Spend just five minutes in the warehouse frenzy and you'll be itching to get back to the city where life is simpler :)  I drank my uneaten smoothie from this morning (frozen mixed berries, yogurt, and rice milk) and added some vanilla flavored Muscle Milk Light for some protein to prepare me for my "workout."  I knew that pushing an oversize cart full of beer would not be an easy task!

I have a Costco card because a friend lists me as her "domestic partner" so we just split the $40 charge between us.  I usually only go there for staples like laundry detergent and toilet paper, but when you're throwing a party for 60+ people, Costco comes in handy.  I should have taken a picture of our haul.  Five cases of beer, two bottles of wine, one magnum of champagne, chips, dips and cheese.  

Afterwards we went to WinCo (which is 100x worse than Costco) for cheap fruit, veggies, drink mixers, a pinata, and condoms to put in the pinata.  Quite the combo, no?

Emily and I went back to my house to set up the backyard a bit and to figure out what we need to do tomorrow before the party starts.  When that was done, we broke open one of the bottles of wine for some much needed relaxation after our outing.  I had one glass of chardonnay and it was rather tasty.  Here's Emily enjoying hers :)

The smoothie didn't quite tie me over until bedtime, so I had some raw goat cheese and crackers.  They are the Milton brand whole wheat variety.  (There's all of our mixers in the background - I'll take a picture of all of the food we bought tomorrow when I'm setting up.)

Ok...off to bed!  Tomorrow will be a loooong, drunken and debaucherous.  I better get a good nights sleep and load up on nutrients and water tomorrow to prepare for the damage.  This weekend will be alcohol filled as Chris and I have a wedding to go to on Saturday at a local vineyard.  I'm getting too old for this :)
