Yesterday D & I had two very different social functions to attend. The first was the Leu’s First Annual Spring BBQ in Irvine. We had some good meat (chicken, beef and sausage) and D was able to get some marathon-running tips. I brought inari and chocolate peanut butter rice krispy treats (which I saw on Good Deal with Dave Lieberman). D felt kind of old there b/c a handful of the guests were still in college.
Afterward we spent a couple of hours at the Spectrum. We hung out Barnes and I eavesdropped on a table of 10-year old girls talking about how Caramel Light Frappucinos are so good and that their favorite places to shop are Abercrombie & Fitch, Bebe, Nordstrom and Forever 21…hmm…
Then, we went to Mission Viejo to have a Mexican food dinner at one of D’s MBA friends’ house. It seemed like everyone was a few years older and the vast majority brought their babies/toddlers (the oldest being 4). So, we went from feeling old to feeling young, never quite fitting in. As you get older, the age range of people you hang out with seems to grow. For me, all the way up to college I had few friends who were more than a year above or below me. Anyway, all in all it was a fun day.
