Dancing, Singing, and Eating

My how time flies when you're having fun! Seriously though, I have no idea where the past 2 weeks have gone! It's been a whirlwind of new experiences. 
Work is still going great...This weekend I worked 2 festivals.  Dance for the Planet is a dance festival with master classes and performances all weekend long.  I got the opportunity to sit in on a master class taught by Janette and Jason from So You Think You Can Dance and it was amazing! Jason was extremely nice and very laid back.  Janette was more high-strung but still a great dancer and teacher.  It was very cool to meet both of them!


Saturday night was quite the adventure.  Patti's friend Amy's husband John is the manager for Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights band.  They played at House of Blues Saturday night and we got tickets.  From the start the night was full of surprises...we had dinner before the show with the band at the Foundation Room (which is decorated like Indian royalty with sari's on the walls and elaborate wooden canopies carved with more detail than you could imagine) The food...oh the food! I had root beer glazed chicken wings...which sounds weird...but it was so fancy and sooo delicious! The band was cool and very down to earth.  They just appreciate every single one of their fans.  Jonathan's girlfriend is an actress who will be in the Good Guys, which starts in May (and it's filmed in Dallas!) She was so nice and I really enjoyed talking to her surprisingly.  Anyway, we went down to the show and had a blast and even got a free CD.  It was a fun night! 
And here's the scene when we arrived home....

Sunday I worked the Spring Block Party at One Arts Plaza which is a residence/office building with about 6 restaurants along the bottom floor.  The festival had cooking demonstrations and tastings and wine pairings and live music and entertainment and would have been a blast if it hadn't been cold and rainy! BUT...I made friends with the restaurant I was near and got lots of free food and drinks from the nice men :)
Now I'm back to the old Monday/Friday routine and getting ready to party again this weekend for Griffin's birthday! I'm also trying an adult tap class tomorrow night...can't wait to get back in the game.
Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

*Love you Anita*

    I can't believe I forgot to add that this week at work I got my first paycheck, got my ATTPAC polo, business cards are in transit, and my name is officially on the staff list on the website! :
