Best Weekend Ever

Well, maybe not for diet or exercise but for my mind and spirit – awesome! I had so much fun this weekend during my bachelorette party. My sister and a friend organized it and put more care and thought into it than I could ever have imagined. There was a whole slate of activities from Friday to Monday and a whole bunch of ladies came out to help me celebrate.

Keyalus and Richard B

One major highlight for me was dinner at Home, the restaurant headed by Richard Blais from Top Chef. I’m a huge fan of the show so naturally this was on my short list of restaurants to try. We had a private room in the basement and our waiter pulled Richard down to come meet with us after dinner. He was greeted with a wild burst of cheers and applause from the ladies which moved him visibly. He was so cool. He chatted with us for quite a while, posed for photo ops and answered our questions about the show. He even came back later and made us a round of liquid nitrogen margaritas on the house. After tasting that drink, I don’t think I can ever drink a regular margarita again!

Liquid Sunshine!

The second highlight was the pole party at the studio where I take classes. I was so eager to share how much I get out of those classes with my friends and family. Everyone had a great time learning a little lap dance and pole routine. At the end of the night, my new stage personality, Minx, was somehow coerced into giving a command improv performance. Talk about nerves! I don’t remember everything that happened but the crowd seemed to like it and Minx received about $300 (in fake bills) for her hard work LOL.

This was seriously the best weekend that I’ve had in as long as I can remember. I’m sure it will only be topped by the wedding on Saturday.
