Do you ever just wish you could clone yourself so that you wouldn't miss anything? That's how I feel this week...there are so many great options! Between the Metropolis wine club, the Fuel party and Keystone's party, I'm afraid I might spread myself to thin. One girl can only do so much! Oh, and lets not forget the impending snow storm which will keep me pretty occupied, at least for the first half of the week. For details on the events I...

May the first day of Christmas bring you excitement; excitement for the season and for the per...
