Sex and the City – graciefabulous

This is a totally random list of things that I think are important in life

– for me.

They may not be for everyone, but hey, this is MY blog…

always sending thank you notes
being on time
planning ahead
… but still leaving room for spontaneity aka drama!
celebrating birthdays in a big way, any year every year
don’t give a gift you wouldn’t like to receive yourself … or buy for yourself
having a signature piece of flair
parties should always have a theme
Tailgating, even if you don’t go to the game, it’s ok to plan that from the beginning too
I was baking cupcakes before cupcakes were cool!
love at first site probably does exist but most of us are all too silly to realize it
what alcohol can’t cure, shopping can
you should be well versed enough to cuss someone out with actually cussing and without them really knowing you are
you should expirement in the kitchen – Taco Bell is pretty much always open if you burn something – that gives plenty of time to air out the house while you are gone too.
VOTE!!!
you should have a dog before you have children
yes, you really can relate everything in life to any number of episodes of Sex and the City!
babies and husbands do NOT make you complete, nor do your friends have to like them, they are both fulfilling and wonderful but not the only answer to a perfect life
no one has the perfect life
everyone has a 6th or even 7th sense to know when something is not right with you or with your friends – USE IT!
be loud, it normally works out well
there is always something to watch on Food Network and the History Channel
baking for someone is always appreciated
ghosts really do exist
Catholic School is a good thing!
you should always have TWO books in mind in case you are ever asked what’s the last book you read
the limb you’re out on… it might break, no matter how high up you are
you don’t have to buy something off the registry if you don’t want to, just make sure your gift is great
wrapping is part of the gift
always give to local charities
we should try to fix our own country before we try to save the world
Karma is HUGE and it will kick you ass – there are different kinds of Karma, I’ve learned parking karma at work from Nancy, Liz and I strive to achieve the highest level of dog karma
shopping in each others closets is one of the best ideas we’ve ever had
no matter what religion you are, you should read The Bible – that’s on my list of things to do – I admire my mother for having done this multiple times
Your true friends will always be there for you no matter what, men will not be so make sure your man is your best friend!

Last week was the premier of SEX AND THE CITY: THE MOVIE! I flew out to Denver to watch the movie with my best friend Elizabeth. It was a great mini vacation and of course a FABULOUS movie. We also had a pre movie party – “The Return of Martini’s and Manolo’s.” Holly very graciously hosted party at her super swank LoDo loft that is only a few blocks away from the movie theater.

The party was a blast and I met so many new and interesting people. Most people dressed up in fun party dresses and everyone brought a bottle of martini related alcohol and Holly printed cute little recipes for new types of drinks. I made my staples – Cosmopolitans and Pomegranate Martini’s.

It was a great way to get in the SATC spirit before the movie. It was so fun to know that people everywhere had parties and got all dressed up for the movie! And yes, I will continue to make fun of Trekkies and Star Wars nerds – although I wore a fabulous cocktail dress and some rockin’ shoes, I did not wear a Chewbacca suit or pointy ears and a color block jump suit.
In other Denver news, we did a lot of retail therapy and drank a lot – both things that Elizabeth and I excel in! One afternoon, we went to a Champagne Bar for Happy Hour – boy were we happy and bubbly!!!Chad and Liz live in Englewood, CO actually and there is a light rail station very close to their house which is really convenient – however we found out the hard way that the light rail stops running at 2 am … note to self… must leave down town prior to 2 am or risk pulling people out of bed to come get us. THANKS CHAD!!! I came home on Sunday on yet another fun Frontier flight!

I’m in Denver this weekend for a fabulous premier party for Sex and the City: The Movie! I arrived yesterday via Tulsa – I’m not a fan of the Tulsa airport. I did get some great shopping done prior to my flight!

There was a family that was at the ticket counter with me waiting for it to open – their screaming child didn’t help the ticket counter open any earlier. That was 2 hours before the flight was scheduled … in my 2 hours I had a tasty meal of chicken tenders (of course) and multiple gin and tonics. Apparently the little screaming girl held ALL her crazy in until she got on the plane — as we were in line to board the plane she was so friendly and giving everyone high fives and winking at people – strangers ate that up. I cringed! I knew what was looming… she SCREAMED the entire flight. Also there was a crazy old woman next to me, but she kept to herself after a few odd comments – her John Grisham paperback kept her occupied.

Our flight attendant was super creepy – she was all about flirting with the equally creepy businessman in the row opposite me – so much to the point she was practically sitting on the arm rest = his lap.

The flight got a little bumpy on the descent – which apparently is common – I don’t see how predicted turbulance can ever be common – if you know it’s there – fly straighter or something! Just like if you know there is ice on the road – you don’t go 90 mph! Around then is when I really started regretting that 3rd g&t!

Once we landed, the Denver airport was a welcome site! It seems to be a very nice and new (or at least well renovated) airport! I made my way to baggage claim and was pretty proud of myself for navigating through the air port – I know it really isn’t that tough but I have this fear of airports… anyway I finally found Elizabeth after multiple “where are you” “I’m by the Frontier sign” conversations – there are LOTS O FRONTIER signs!

Chad was really excited to eat Mexican food last night so we rode the train downtown to a Mexican place that has a 2 margarita max!

Today is the day! The premier of SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE!

Stay tuned….
