BEST WEEKEND EVER

Hello fellow professionals,

This post is dedicated to this past weekend, one of the best weekends I've ever had.

The weekend commenced on Thursday with RHTL's DJ night at Last Exit where we toasted at midnight in honor of my friend Deirdre's birthday.

Then on Friday, both having the day off, Jaime and I sweated for 90 minutes in hot yoga and followed up our date day with some lunch and a movie (Rachel Getting Married) at BAM

Friday night, everyone dressed up and went to a grand Halloween ball at Union Street. We had Dorothy after the Fall, Katy Perry, the Morton Salt Girl, Sweeney Todd Palin, and some party crashers from the Church of Ladder Day Saints.



Saturday was spent recovering, but then Lo and I rallied and went to the Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday, which was AMAZING. We danced it up to Brit pop with senior citizens and adorable Brooklyn toddlers till 11. Then off to Soda bar in honor of our friend Allison's Birthday.

And it doesn't stop there folks! Sunday morning, bright and early, my friend Martha and I made our way to Lafayette and Classon to fill cups of water for the ING Marathon runners. Since we ran out of water, we enlisted the help of a few good friends--Abby, Jaime and Audrey saved the day and helped us fill more cups and hand them out to the amazing runners.



The weekend ended last night with a girly girl movie night. Lauren, Abby and Jaime came over and we watched Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains. I have four words to describe this film: Diane Lane is fabulous.



That's all folks! I'll blog later this week with rules on how to be the best guest ever.

Apple Picking We Go!

Hello Fall, and Hello Apples and Wine!

Every year, for the past 3 years, my girl friends and I go apple picking up state. I wish I had come up with this awesome annual Fall event, but I have to give props where props are due--my friend Abby started the tradition.

It's a great cool weather event, and did I mention we also go wine tasting? Because nothing goes better with sweaters and yellow deliciousness than some fermented grapes.

Here are some pictures from last year and Monday I'll post this year's fun. Enjoy the crisp weather! Apple pies & Crafternoons are coming soon!

Roll me Right Round Baby, Right Round

Hello fellow lovers-of-life,

I know I promised the next post would be super great party personalization ideas, and that's still coming, but I just had to blog about a wonderful activity all should try (or try again): Roller Skating!!

Because my philosophy, and the intent of this Blog, is that "everyday is a party." I will cover off on lots and lots of fun social activities that you may never thought of, or maybe you had, but were too afraid to try.

Last night, my friend Jaime and I went to the Crazy Legs Skate Club last night in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. http://crazylegsskateclub.com/

It was one of the best times I've had, completely sans alcohol, in a long time! It's in an old school, which is now the Salvation Army building, and host to some Church programs. The roller rink is a converted gym and tickets to skate are only $10. The only catch is that you have to bring your own skates.

The best part of it all was that it was a mix of all different kinds of people who love skating, but with one notable exception: no hipsters! Thank god, because the feel of the night was completely unpretentious and if I had grown up in the 70s, my guess is that it would be a lot like this place.

My photographer friend Greg http://www.gregoryboyd.com/index3.html and my friend Celeste were also there, and Greg took some amazing portraits of the skaters. See Below!!

Ponder this: what if there were a gym with a roller rink, trapeze, huge trampoline, and other sorts of grown up playground activities...wouldn't you want to sign up for that? Anyone know any investors in this downturn economy? ;-)
