WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

T’s Month of Fun is getting off to a FANTABULOUS start!

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since last Tuesday!! I tried so hard to get one in yesterday before January ended, but oh well, no such luck there. This will be an extremely quick one as I have a busy day of starting to get ready for my trip, volunteering, super bowl, I heard I was going to be singing.. I don’t even know

This week was hectic. I’ve been working on composing lyrics and melody for a song. I’m a bit rusty and we all know I’m indecisive so that doesn’t make for a good situation on top of being so super busy all week long.

I am working in two different offices for the next couple months so that adds an additional thing I have to remember every week. Monday and Tuesday I got in some good quality work time in while at Lux and Tuesday even met up with Todd afterwards at Rosie’s. Wednesday I worked on laundry and other misc things from home and headed to bed a little early. It was nice and relaxing.

Thursday I went to Rockaroke (go figure). A friend met me there and alas my Black Velvet Rockaroke curse happened again. So no singing Black Velvet, which was disappointing. Ending up singing some Blondie. Had to get SOMETHING in before I leave.

Friday I brought two of my friends with me to East Valley Friday Night (#evfn) which was at Whole Foods this week. I met more new people which was great, reconnect with some I already knew, and I’ll leave it at that. A small few of us closed down Whole Foods (yes, we closed down a grocery store, and I’m not afraid to admit it). Afterwards, I went to Tilted Kilt for a little bit but was extremely disappointed.

Yesterday I had an extremely busy day. Started off hiking Pinnacle Peak with Kerri. Afterwards we headed to the FBR Open as I had won grounds tickets. It was the most interesting PGA stop I have ever been to. It honestly reminded me of Happy Gilmore and I was quite pleased. Great people watching. Great party. Great everything. Next year I am definitely getting 3 Day VIP passes. Argyle, sun, people having fun? I’m there!

After the FBR, I went to dinner and dancing with the Alta girls. We started at Bada Boom Pasta Room Great food, lousy waiter. Then we went to the Hyatt Resort in Scottsdale to watch Flamenco dancers. What a beautiful BEAUTIFUL resort. To top it off, it has gondola rides? I’m definitely going back. We then wanted to head to Barcelona but with the FBR crowd it was just way too packed. Some guys tried to impress us and ask us to bar hop with them in their limo. Only issue was, the hummer limo did not belong to them! Ended up going to Devil’s Martini and while it was a fairly good DJ and we always have a blast wherever we go, I was not impressed at all. I have finally hit the age where I am not impressed by stripper poles in bars. Does that make me old or just a little more sophisticated… hopefully sophisticated.

I tried to make it out to karaoke in Mesa, but we got home way too late and I needed to crash. Today’s plans are heading out to volunteer shortly then coming straight home to the Super Bowl party that is starting at my house without me. Alas this week I really have to get everything in order as I will be gone for almost a week straight.

Interaction 09 here I come!!

Last night was girls night (a small gathering but still all women)! Three of us decided to head out and see what damage we could cause. The first stop was a wine bar and bistro I heard about through east valley friday nights called D’Vine. It truly lived up to its name. The place was packed but we were seated within minutes. All of us were starving so we added some dinner to our wine. I had two glasses of an amazing Riesling recommended by the waiter. For dinner I had a scallop salad and a side of sweet potato fries that were to die for. Absolutely incredible. Everything on the menu looked fantastic and I will be heading there again and again. The wine menu and atmosphere was spectacular as well.

Afterward, our goal was to go to rockaroke at Dos Gringos in Tempe. However, both Tom Tom and Sprint Navigation failed us (I hate being a recent transplant sometimes) and so we ended up going to the Martini Ranch in Scottsdale. There was a great band playing that was something kings (a little angry I forgot the whole name I loved them). We danced it up… okay I danced it up and sang and had a blast. Some married guy kept flirting with me occasionally as well as this chick. Makes a person wonder.

It was a great night. Sucked to have to wake up so early this morning though.
