Birthday Week Part 3: Air Guitar Championships
Okay, I know this was over a month ago, but I have to share because...
OMG.
Air Guitar is AWESOME!
On June 6, two of my BFF's took us to what we thought was going to be a bunch of nuts rock out on stage like idiots. Which it was, but we had no idea that meant it was going to be SO FREAKING ENTERTAINING!
Here's a run-down of the evening from the bloggers at US Air Guitar.
And below are some action shots...my friends knew one of the performers by the stage name Dirty Airy (he came in second by the way! woo hoo!), so I had to squeeze up to the front and get pics of the big finale with all the contestants strumming their air guitars to "Free Bird."
It was an amazing moment. Strange. But amazing.
Oh, and I am SOO going again next year, if anyone wants to join me!

10,000 Step Challenge Results...AND new challenge
I am so happy that I inspired so many of my friends to get up and moving. While I didn't walk 10,000 steps every day, this challenge has definitely changed my daily routine for the better. I walk to the MUNI station every morning, walk home every night, and generally more active. I hope it has done the same for you.
Now, my coworkers and I have come up with ANOTHER challenge...actually, it's a contest. We're going to all workout, no matter the length or the difficulty, and mark it down on the calendar. Whoever has worked out the most times in the month will win, well, something. Our first idea was a beer or cookie...but that really defeats the purpose. But anyways, we're all off to a good start.
The other night it was a cold windy SF evening, so I decided instead of a jog, I would try one of the workout videos streamed to the computer on Netflix. I've always wanted to learn how to dance, but since I have two left feet bigger than any ever encountered, I am way too embarrassed to go to a class setting...yet. So I decided to try one of the Crunch Dance videos.
That blonde girl on the right is even more obnoxious than the host. Yes, really.
SO how did I do? Let's just say that half way through I gave up paying attention to the lady and started doing my own booty dance.
I wasn't fooling Archie. He knew this was worse than even the blooper reel of "So You Think You Can Dance" and by the look on his face, I think he was starting to get concerned that I was having some kind of attack.
I'm not giving up though. I'm going to figure out that top-tap-shuffle thing if it kills me...or the cat.
And I'm gonna win this workout contest.
Let the games begin!

Just had to share...
Most of the stuff we get forwarded are, let's face it, big piles of cheeze. But every now and then there's something that makes you actually L.O.L. and you totally get sucked in...and those are the ones to share. Here's a couple that I was sent by my clever friends and coworkers that are worth checking out. Enjoy!
My friends who are graphic designers will REALLY appreciate this one:

I wish I had this little girl's self-esteem and positive attitude:
Oh, and Boyfriend sent me the picture to the left (courtesy of Boing Boing) to cheer me up the other day. It totally worked. :)

Birthday Week Part 2: 83 Proof
It was exciting to have my birthday fall on a Friday night!
It meant that all my friends could come out to one of my favorite bars to celebrate. 83 Proof is the perfect mix of expert cocktails, casually yet classy atmosphere, easy to get to, and comfy decor.
Located behind the Walgreens on First Street between Market and Mission, it was a central location for all my wonderful friends who came from as far away as Sacramento and Fresno. (Have I mentioned that I am the luckiest girl in the world for having such AMAZING friends!)
We hung out in the mezzanine, overlooking the bar. It was perfect for a party, because we could all hang out and be relaxed...it was like having a private space.
I drank my favorite drink all night, Sweet Tea infused Vodka with 7-up, twist of lime and bitters....sooo yummy! (Thank you Skye, nobody makes a drink like you!)
It was the perfect night and I couldn't have asked for more from a birthday. Thanks for hosting, 83 Proof!

Birthday Week Part 1: Sauce
Hi everyone,Sorry I've been MIA...my birthday week kicked my butt! It was SUPER fun and I think it was one of the best I can remember, but it wore me out. Don't worry, I will fill you all in on the details.
The birthday celebrations officially started with Sunday's A Drag, which I already told you about.
Then on Wednesday, some of my BFF's and I had our first of the Birthday Dinners at Sauce in Hayes Valley. It's one of my fave backup restaurants. They have good food that you can depend on and that can please the whole range of taste buds. My faves are the Portobello Mushroom Fries, Tomato Bisque (it comes with little mini grilled cheese sandwiches, how perfect!) and the Beet Salad. Oh, and they always have yummy desserts!
Give it a try and let me know what you fave is.
