*~Sweetpea~* Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,747 Last Post: 3/20/2008 Member Since: 10/22/2005	I can't believe there are only 19 days until my wedding!!! I'm so excited, but I'm also so nervous about my job situation that it's kind of taking away a little bit from my wedding excitment. I'm only responsible for paying for the bar (about 2k) and the dj (1k) but with the no job sitch that's a little daunting considering that constitutes half my savings (I had a pretty poorly paying job previous to the job I got laid off from) and unemployment only lasts through January... My bachlorette party was last weekend and it was a complete blast (I flew to Boston and we went to Maggianos for dinner (me plus 10 gals) then to a drag queen show (fab! - one could really crunk like nothing I've ever seen to beyonce "crazy in love", I almost felt like I had a "girl crush" on her b/c she was so pretty and an awesome dancer, but it was really a guy so I don't think it's a real "girl crush" haha - I want to take crunking lessons now haha) and then to a club after. I was super nostalgic because I used to live in the city and my girls and I used to always meet up for dinner then head to the bars or clubs before I moved out to MI and I miss the Boston nightlife big time. And the food ... although Ann Arbor, MI does have lots of fab restaurants, esp for a buffalo wing conniseaur like myself. Although what stinks is that in the back of my head there was the "omg, 4th interview on Monday looming over my head, I NEED this job and I really WANT this job so I'm preoccupied by that." And dumb me booked the plane ticket to leave the next day at 9am...I couldn't afford the later flight, thank god all I had was a slight headache. I had an awesome interview today, it's down to 2 of us now, but the manager can't decide who to pick and wants to wait until wednesday. I'll post some bach. party pics when I get them. It was a crazy night and some guy kept following me around at the club to the point of being obnoxious - I think he thought he was gonna get some. Um, hello - bride? - have a veil and tiara on - do you think I usualy dress like this? hahaha ~SP~

I'm a grad student at UM, and looking back at your dress thread I now recognize that dress shop. ********************** Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Brontë

In fact, we've been there the past two Friday nights and we served Maggianos for our rehearsal dinner. Good stuff! Sounds like you girls had a blast! Keep us posted on the job interview! Good luck!

In fact, we've been there the past two Friday nights and we served Maggianos for our rehearsal dinner. Good stuff! Sounds like you girls had a blast! Keep us posted on the job interview! Good luck! Thank you for the luck! I'm hoping this pans out - I'm actually working on a "stellar" thank you letter (following up on the handwritten note I left) and after that I've done all I can do. We had the best food at Magg's - we did family style (the girls ordered ahead) with caesar and regular salad, fried calamari and bruschetta, then chicken marsala, chicken parm, some spinach thing that was awesome and chicken marsala and then creme brulee and tiramisu! Everything was all you can eat and delicious! And perfect food for pre-going out! My friend (who knows wines) ordered me the best sparkline white wine also, I wish I could remember what it was called. It was funny b/c there was a table of all guys behind us and they kept saying "ask them where they're going later - it's a bachlorette party" haha ~SP~

*~Sweetpea~* Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,747 Last Post: 3/20/2008 Member Since: 10/22/2005	So, a lot of you know I'm interviewing and I thought that last Mon would be the last interview. I guess the DM cannot decide between me and another candidate so we're both interviewing again about 2 hours from where I live tomorrow morning. Wish me luck, I really need and really WANT this job!! ~SP~

Some are a lil embarassing, but whatever. ~SP~

I love bars like that! Thanks for sharing! You're in MA, right? we went to Jacques, which is walking distance from the theater district (we went clubbing in 'the alley') and the area with Finale and Maggianos - I highly suggest getting a group of gals together and going , it was fun! The best drag queens I saw were in Key West, but these were really fun! I have seen more drag shows and more chippendales shows than I'm willing to admit. something must be wrong with me! ~SP~

LOL...nope, I'm in Northern CA. There are some great drag bars down in San Francisco, but I don't know if I could get a whole group of girls together for that! And hooray for Chippendales!
