Guess who got to see an advanced screening of Eclipse tonight? This girl! It pays to have connections, so off I went to see the movie with Amy and Erika and hundreds of screaming teen and ‘tween girls. The funniest was when the first screen shot of Taylor Lautner came up and they all started screaming and giggling. … Continue reading »

Weekending
I hope everyone had a great weekend and is savoring every last minute of it by enjoying a nice Sunday night. My weekend turned out to be awesome Friday night Eric and I went to dinner at Picazzo’s in North Scottsdale. I was wanting some pizza, so Eric suggested this place and I was psyched when … Continue reading »
Christmas in June
So, last night turned out to be pretty blah. The lone bright spot in the evening was the fantastic salad I had for dinner at Four Peaks Brewery. It was a spinach salad with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, red onions and grilled chicken with their Raspberry dressing on the side for fork dipping. … Continue reading »
Vegas Baby, Vegas!
Well, Vegas 2010 was a huge success – so much fun! Probably a little too much fun – recovery is taking a little longer than I’d like. My friend Jenny and I road tripped out to Sin City on Friday and arrived at our hotel, the Palms. I’ve always wanted to stay at this hotel, mainly because … Continue reading »
Clarity
Tonight I gave Bikram Yoga a second go around, and I cannot express how much easier it was this time. Seriously, I was psyching myself out all day, so nervous to try again, but minus a couple of breaks during poses, I was able to get through the entire class without any of the nausea or dizziness … Continue reading »
My own little Triathlon
Today I challenged myself to do my own mini triathlon when I got home from work…but in reverse! I wanted to end with the swim so that I would be able to cool off since it was still pretty hot early evening. I did a 2.5 mile run, followed by a 4.5 mile bike ride … Continue reading »
Namaste
So…I didn’t pass out in my first Bikram Yoga class, but I did almost throw up! It was INTENSE! The heat in the room is like no other. For those that may not know about Bikram Yoga, it’s a form of yoga that’s practiced in a room that is heated to 105 degrees with 40% … Continue reading »
Catching Up
First off, I’d like to show a little love to my hometown and say congratulations to the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions – the Chicago Blackhawks! OK, now that that’s done, I have to say how much fun the Super Stereo show was last night! But first, let me tell you about dinner before the show … Continue reading »
Today’s word of the day: Bars!
Last night I had the grand idea of getting up early this morning to make a fresh egg sandwich on a bagel. Sounds good, right? Alas, it wasn’t meant to be as I thought sleeping in a little sounded better! So, in my rush to get out the door I grabbed something almost as good…a Peanut Butter & … Continue reading »
From a busy Saturday to a lazy Sunday
Starting with last night’s dinner at Avalon, to the Miike Snow show, to TT’s Roadhouse for Stevie’s birthday, I knew today was going to be a lazy, lazy Sunday! I’ve been to Avalon many, many times before, but last night was my first time back since they changed head chefs. I’m happy to report that … Continue reading »
