WRONG WAY

I just saw someone driving backwards on the freeway. BACKWARDS. Oh wait it gets better, they were on a BRIDGE! as in elevated above the Earths floor.

.

I said a little prayer for their safety: Physical, and Mental.

I wonder if they were listening to Pinkerton like me. I tell you the nostalgia does crazy things to your mind.

"There's a Tourist in Every Heart"

Dear Las Vegas,

.

Thank you for hosting all us girls over the weekend. It was quite a ball of wild and crazy fun. I especially enjoyed the ghost bar, the brits, and rappin in the pool (of course).

.

I also wanted to let you know that I think this may be the end for us... We have had our fun in the past. I will never forget the reality tv stars, or waffles at 4 o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately I have matured, and as it turns out I am a girl whose nights must remain nights, and not turn into mornings. I am a girl who needs to go to church, not party in the city of sin.

.

You? Well you are Las Vegas. Which means there are thousands of starry eyed girls donning much too high of heels, and much too short of skirts lined up to take my place, and embark on all the magic you hold. (Less Carrot Top, I hope).

.

As for this girl? I will be resting my starry eyes turned bloodshot, and dreaming about more relaxing locals - such as Sun City.

.

Good Bye Las Vegas, I am sure we will meet again. I mean, a mid-life crisis is inevitable!

Tomorrow....

Let the Chincilli Festivities Begin!

I want my geese to lay gold eggs

Sure fire way to make me want to pull your hair and stick my tongue out at you? Act like spoiled jerk when everyone around you is working their butts off, and all for you!

Can I get a Heck Yeah for people who are appreciative and throw out a thank you every now and again?

.

Woowee I am a little fired up... I think I am well on my way to a burn out.

.

In other news, my friends, family, and border collie (who just got a hair cut) are still cool. I saw blink this weekend, which was equally cool. Oh-and I am listening to the Across the Universe Soundtrack... double cool!

Mason Jennings

Mason is tonight!

.

I think tonight may be the night where we fall in love and run away together. Although Danny will be there, and Jennings is married (I spent a good hour looking for a picture of the lucky lady to no avail. No, it isn't creepy stalker behavior, it is research!)

So tonight.... we are driving down to Tucson, eating some Mexican Food, and then settling in to Rialto Theater to be serenaded by the man himself. I can hardly contain myself :)

.
I am lovin' his new CD, although sometimes it makes me cry.

Good tears, thoughtful tears.

Tuesday Lunch Dates- Essence Bakery Edition

Rhonda and I have started a Tuesday lunch dates tradition (at least for the semester), and since neither of our boys have particularly adventurous pallets we decided to try a new and exciting restaurant each week.

First Stop:

This is a cute little Bakery & Cafe in Tempe, right off Hardy and University. They use organic and local foods, and are famous for their delicious French Macaroons. - We split a Carmel one and it was like eating a little piece of Heaven.

For lunch we both had an Organic mixed greens salad with pecans and red wine poached pears, and a grilled blue cheese sandwich. If you are a blue cheese fan I would highly recommend this.

Overall, super cute restaurant that makes me feel all kinds of girlie inside.

Next stop: Middle Eastern!

P.S. if any of you are available to join us for the lunch dates please do :)

Adventurous Little Bird

Yay! It's Friday. This Friday means wine bar with friends, hiking tomorrow morning, a Baby Shower for Kel and the twins, and a Sunday afternoon visit to Glendale to watch the Cardinals season opener! Is it any wonder why we work for the weekends!?

For the weekend: Let your little adventure bird out! Decor8 has a bunch of these cute little pictures. Look at them, and then just try and contain your smile. I dare ya.
