GNO
Last night my girlfriends took me out for dinner at Cheesecake Factory as a late birthday get together and we also went to see He's Just Not That Into You. It was such a delicious meal and the movie is awesome. It was like 5 chick flicks in one with all the stories going on. I'll definitely buy it when it comes out. Man, I love Girl's Night Out! And next weekend will be Girl's Weekend Away....we're headed to Vegas. I cannot wait. I'm set for shopping, drinking and eating the whole weekend long!

Avenged Sevenfold Show
We went to the Avenged Sevenfold show last week and had a blast! I already want to see them again!
Prom 2009
Richard & I went with our friends to a Breast Cancer benefit called Forever Pink on Saturday. It was a prom themed evening with dinner at Biaggi's and a bus that took us to the prom at Memorial House, where there was an awesome open bar and dessert buffet and to die for cheeses to snack on. Afterwards, the bus took us to Lumpy's where we were "VIP" and got in before a line full of people. It was a great night. They even had a photographer there taking "Prom" pictures that we could purchase. How fun. I know I had way more fun at this prom than I ever did in High School!
