I've been buried in work since I got back from vacation, but it IS Friday and last weekend was KICK AWESOME, so I'm calling it a win!

( Let's see if I can manage the Cliff Notes version of vacay: )

In all it was a good time. Thank you, chicas, for an awesome birthday weekend! *mwah*

Well, hey, hello there, August! Geez. Where the hell did July go? No, matter. August is a fabulous month. Mostly because it's my birthday month, so I feel perfectly justified in a month full of excesses and indulgences!

Even though we're only 3 days in, August is already shaping up to be made of so much awesome! This is what the month looks like for me at the moment:

- This weekend: a much needed pedicure and (also much needed) time to catch up on the million or so errands that are plaguing my to do list.

- On the 14th I head to L.A. for a weekend of awesome birthday shenanigans, including late night birthday dinners, undisclosed birthday surprises of the pampering variety, ogling of Philip Anselmo's Arms of Porn with

azewewish at the Down show on Saturday, and a Glitter & Whips (TM) brunch at the Abbey on Sunday where

aproposofnothin,

coolwhipdiva,

editorzon and I will wax rhapsodic about the shininess of Adam Lambert and the glee induced by magical musical boys, and generally make

azewewish roll her eyes at us as many times as possible. *g* Good times!!!

- After that I'll be meeting up with my family for a few days of vacation time at Disneyland and San Diego. Mikey Mouse! Beach time! Exciting!!!

- Sometime during the following week I'll get

annkiri here for a visit! And then

hewet_ka_ptah will be joining us during the weekend for more birthday shenanigans! Awesome times with awesome friends!

- The following weekend

_lisalisa_ and I are embarking on Operation Glitter, with a mad dash to Kansas City to catch the American Idols Live show on August 30th!!! *flails wildly* We have AMAZING seats for the show, and *knock on wood* there is perhaps, maybe, oh, please, let the stars align and the Universe smile upon us to make this happen the possibility of finagling backstage meet and greet passes. Eeeee!!! Either way, I am so ridiculously excited about seeing Adam perform again! You don't even know! It's going to be an awesomely good time with the most wonderful of co-conspirators! *bounces*

And while technically that brings us to the end of August, the Good Times just keep coming!

- Labor Day weekend I'm taking an extra day off of work and heading back to L.A. to see NIN with

azewewish at the Henry Fonda Theater! Trent! Small venue! Longer set! *flail*

Eeee! So much AWESOME planned this month! Plus, you know, MY BIRTHDAY!!! Which is inherently awesome. As am I. *g*

So, now that I've gushed about all the awesomeness happening in my world, tell me something awesome happening in yours!

Well, hello there, JULY!!! You certainly got here fast!

First things first on this hump day: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, coolwhipdiva!!! You, my dear, are one of the most fiercely intelligent, graceful, self-assured, driven, got-her-shit-together women I know. You are beautiful, inside and out. I respect and admire you so much and I am blessed beyond words to call you my friend. I can't wait to see you on Friday and to spend an entire weekend celebrating your awesomeness! *mwah*

Entirely related to the above, sometimes I think to myself, damn, how did I ever get so lucky to have such an amazing circle of women that I'm just so blessed to call my friends??? And I don't really know the answer to that, but I'm very damn happy that, whatever the reason, I do have some pretty fucking fabulous friends! *loves you all!*

Also related to the above, I am bailing from this pit of hell we call Phoenix tomorrow afternoon for an awesome weekend in Ojai with my girls, enjoying the cooler temps, lazing about the pool, drinking wine, possibly indulging in a massage, and just generally having an amazing, relaxing weekend celebrating the awesomeness of Ms. J. *g* I cannot wait for this to happen!!! Seriously, just the fact that I get to escape these hellish 108 degree temperatures makes me ridiculously happy. But combine that with a long weekend spent in the most fabulous of company, and I'm positively GIDDY!

In other awesome news, and not coincidentally, also related to the aforementioned fabulosity of my friends, *g*

azewewish, amazing woman that she is, has scored us VIP tickets to see Down in L.A. in August!!! *flails wildly* The VIP tickets apparently include a meet and great with the band (!!!), photo/autograph and the like, some merch, early admission to the show, as well as admission to the sound check (!!!). And while she mentioned something about introducing me to Philip and his Cock of Awesomeness, I'm pretty sure that the tickets aren't actually that good. *g* Whatever, man. I am stoked for this!!! *glee*

In less awesome news, I had a client call me a fucking bitch and throw a chair at me yesterday. Thankfully there was prison bars and shatter resistant glass between him and me, but it was still scary as hell to watch him completely lose it like that. And in the crazy, mad rush to meet today's disclosure deadline, I've managed to spill my coffee TWICE! The same coffee. Twice! *facepalm* Can I have my long weekend now, please?

This one's for

azewewish: Down is now on Twitter!!! *laughs and laughs* Come on, give in already!

OMG, people, I am in New Orleans!!! The weather is great (a bit humid and cloudy and just enough rain to make my hair do crazy things!) and everyone has fantastic accents and the people are super friendly (oh, HI, hello cute guy with the kisses and the hugs!) and the food is delicious and the alcohol is plentiful!!! I LOVE NEW ORLEANS!!!!!!

Brenda and I got in around 3 this afternoon and we promptly set about exploring the French Quarter and eating yummy food and finding real, grown up alcohol! Now we're re-grouping and getting ready to go out to see Down play and wax rhapsodic about Philip's Arms of Porn and Cock of Awesomeness! After which I'm sure there shall be more of that plentiful alcohol and all wicked good times we can squeeze into this night!

Did I mention that I LOVE NEW ORLEANS?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Current Mood: happy
