Lost Finale Party

On Sunday, my brother and I were lucky enough to get to attend a Lost finale party put on by 107.7 The End at Gold Class Cinemas. Being the trivia buff I am, I managed to answer a Lost trivia question correctly therefore putting my name on the VIP list. I have to say, this party was amazing and definitely a perfect way to say goodbye to a perfect show.


107.7 and Gold Class hooked us up! I was so amazed at how well they treated their guests and how plush the theater was. They had these big reclining chairs with a small table in between. We were given two drink tickets at the door, good for beer, wine, wells or one of the special Lost themed drinks the theater came up with! I chose an Oceanic Breeze for one of my drinks. It was delicious. Also, we were each given a choice of appetizer and entree on the house! We chose to have Caesar spears, basically a deconstructed Caesar salad, for our appetizer. I think it was actually a creative way to serve it and I might do that just to get myself to eat more lettuce. Then for our entree we got to pick between a Cuban sandwich and a chicken piccata. I went for the Cuban of course. We enjoyed all these while watching the recap with the lights up and were able to chat with some others, but when the finale finally came on, the lights went out and everyone stayed very quiet and enthralled. We even got popcorn for dessert!

I was so excited and had so much fun at the event and, although I was very sad about the ending of Lost, I was very pleased with the way it finished. Although my brother and I still have different ideas about what it actually all meant! I know I'm right. Ha ha. I'll miss that show for sure. Thanks again to 107.7 The End and Gold Class Cinemas.

Weekend Rewind

This weekend was a pretty epic start to summer. And it goes as follows:

Friday night, some of my girls and I went to a birthday party for a friend. The party was being hosted on an old ferry boat out of Harbor Island and had an appropriate "I'm On A Boat" theme. Basically a dream of mine since we all know how much I like that song and The Lonely Island. Plus, I was super psyched because I already had an outfit, given I used to work on boats. (Don't worry people, I covered up the logo of my shirt with a pin...and my hair.) But it was pretty sweet when someone told me I had the best outfit of the night.

The funny thing was, I was the only one with an actual boat uniform. The crew didn't even have them! I thought that was a little sketch and was glad there wasn't an emergency as I probably would have been the first one everyone came to for help. Ha ha!

But it was definitely a solid night full of dancing and one that took almost all of Saturday to recover from. Totally a good time and one I wouldn't mind recreating for one of my birthdays! Although, I would use my old company of course.

Sunday was the Alpha Delta Pi Founder's Day celebration at the chapter house. I was real glad it was there because I hadn't seen it since the remodel. Let's just say it made me pretty jealous that the remodel didn't take place when I was there. But it also made the event more personal and short and to the point. Not gonna lie, when it's at a different venue, it tends to drag on sometimes. But it was really nice seeing a lot of the sisters and hopefully I can get more involved with the chapter again.

Hope more fun weekends are to follow! I am so happy that summer is almost here!

Tacky Sweater Party

It just wouldn't be the holiday season without a Tacky Sweater Party. This year my brother hosted one at his house and it was a riot. Unfortunately not many people got the tacky sweater memo, but the party was still fun and there were still some hilarious outfits. To add to the holiday cheer, I mixed up some Candy Cane Martinis. The recipe is super easy and it's so tasty!

Candy Cane Martinis
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 tbsp peppermint schnapps
Shake together with ice in a shaker (preferably snowman shaped like mine) and pour into a martini class with a candy caned rim.

A delicious treat and a great way to enjoy the holidays!
