An Evening In Bricktown

Hey all, yes I know, it’s been a while– again. Honestly I’m just almost losing my mind lately- My business is really going well and I’m working at least 12 hour days so blogging has kinda taken a back seat. I mean… I still have photos from NYC a month ago that I REALLY want to get up on the site. Anywho, all this is to say- I’ll try to blog more, but if I can’t do more than like once a week, pleeeease understand why :).

Here are some pics from Sunday when I spent the evening in Bricktown in downtown OKC. Great night, great dinner, wonderful weather, live music… and then I ended it with Paranormal Activity 2 which scared the crap out of me! Hope your weekend went really well! Enjoy

WEEKEND RECAP

This weekend was PACKED with fun times with friends! Friday did the traditional lunch/dinner with Tyler and Jonathan at Tarahumara’s. Wasn’t starving, so I got the shrimp cocktail which was absolutley delicious! I was a little surprised since, well let’s face it, I’m a little land locked. After dinner we headed out to go see The Crazies at The Warren Theater, but of course, they were sold out (typical), so instead we went to The Harkin in Bricktown. The movie was surprisingly good, I mean as far as movies of that genre go. It certanly had me jumping out of my seat a couple times. As we were leaving, I saw the TALLER hair I may have ever seen in my life. So of course I got a photo. After the movie, we went to my friend Melissa’s birthday party for a while and then hit the town. PS I keep forgetting my camera, so the pics from the weekend are brought to you in part by… my iPhone!

Saturday evening, Nicolas and I met up with some friends from Gaylord’s School of Journalism after they finished up with the Addy Awards (Awards for Advertising) downtown OKC at the gorgeous Skirvin Hotel. It was my first time going to the Skirvin and I honestly had no idea anything like this was in Oklahoma City. I really missed all of those people and haven’t seen any of them since I graduated, so it was great to catch up. We hung out in their hotel room for a bit before heading out to bar hop a bit. Ended up going to Tapwerks in Bricktown and ended our night at IHOP. Really a great night and I can’t wait to see all of them again.
St. Bernardus Tripel is perhaps my new favorite.

Sunday… I slept :). Hope you had a great weekend!

BREAK-UPS ARE GOOD FOR SOMETHING

As evidence of the post title for today… I got broken up with this weekend. Sucks for sure. Didn’t do much this weekend as a result of it, but I’m going to look at what the positives are that came from it:
Friday (the day before), went out and got sushi at this great place in Oklahoma City called Sushi Neiko (not sure on spelling) and then ended up at this awesome little jazz club in Bricktown called Makers.
Also I finally had a reason to wear my new John Varvatos boots I ordered which arrived last week (yay!).
Saturday D-day… that’s all I’ll say on that topic ha. Spent the rest of the day surrounding myself with my friends and ended up going out Saturday night… drank a little too much, felt like crap for the first half of Sunday, but meh it’s what I needed.
Sunday My mom came down yesterday and we did some shopping therapy :). Got some things for my house, decorated for Christmas. She told me “You can be sad, but you can’t be sad by yourself.” I love her so much :)!
P.S. Also bought a new Marc Jacobs sweater lol, what can I say? Buying things makes me happier lol.
P.S.S. Got great inspiration with a friend to start having some guest bloggers and maybe even launching yet another blog :)!
