Just Having Fun!

Going out with Jayci and friends on a Saturday night at PF Chang's. Tomas, wish you could have joined us, but sorry your wife was my date for the evening. Whoo hoo we so know how to have fun!

Mozart's Requiem

So to finished out the year I attended Mozart's Requiem but not with some issues of actually getting there. I headed down early to Salt Lake to hang out with Jayci, but dinner was slightly delayed and I knew that I was going to be late for the symphony. Not the end of the world, but then I got stuck in traffic, the street running parallel to TRAX is never the street to take to get to S. Temple, you have to stop every half a block for lights and lots of people. So I'm getting later by the minute and went to park in the same garage I did last time and the lot was full! Guess being on time has its perks. I then had to drive around looking for some place to park my car, I eventually found a parking garage 3 blocks away and even getting in there was slow. I'm now 30 minutes late so I decide to run, thank goodness I was not wearing high-heels! I get there finally and you can't go in until intermission, but I only had to wait 5 minutes. Sadly though I missed the first two pieces, but not the reason I came, Mozart. I got to my seat and when it began, very powerful. I'm used to just instruments only but the singing and soloist were superb. It was a good night finished off with a movie at Jayci's and a sleepover. All in all a pretty good night and an end to a very long day.

Black Friday

So I have never been one to go out the day after Thanksgiving to go shopping, but with some coaxing I went with my two coworkers Traci and Kacie. And because we are totally crazy we started the shopping at 6am, well actually 6:30 for me because someone didn't hear the alarm and was late. Well our trip was suppose to last no more than 2 hours tops, yeah right, lets try 5 hours and $300 later. But I did save a lot and I would like to see this trip as my birthday and Christmas gifts times two :) I can see where the term black Friday comes from, 1. its pitch dark when you arrive to go shopping and 2. spending that much money does makes the day seem kind of black...LOL. But in the spirit of the season, they had a tree with names and wishes for the less fortunate. And if I can treat myself to a few frivilous things then I am certainly capable of helping the less fortunate. So this Christmas there will be one less child missing out, and I hope that there will be more opportunities to give service this holiday season.

Twilight the Movie

So I have made the comment that I did not particularly enjoy the movie Twilight upon my first viewing of it. I would like to retract that statement. I went for the second time with Jayci and it was like seeing another movie. I knew what to expect and what not to expect. I loved it! True there will always be a few things that aren't quite right, but what movie is perfect, especially one based off an amazing book. But once you know what the movie brings it becomes quite easy to accept it and begin to feel the movie the way the book made you feel.

So for all of you Twilight fans out there, don't let your disappointment stop you from seeing the movie again, trust me it will be better second time around. It was romantic and sexy and pretty much awesome. And yes I will so be seeing it again...
