I can't believe August is almost over and so is summer! What happened? Before it gets cold, take the time to get out there and enjoy some of these great outdoor events. This week, Jammin' At The Zoo is a big highlight. I attended last summer and it was wonderful. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best parties of the summer. Have a great week!

There's a great option about every night this week! I'm especially pumped for Thursday night's event to benefit Crisis Nursery. I'll be "celebrity" waitressing at Cardwell's (Plaza Frontenac) in the bar area from 7-9pm accepting your tips/donations for this worthy charity. Come see me! Also, the Keystone party is always a great time. Your $22 (in advance or $30 door) goes to charity but you still get all you can eat and drink...can't beat...

August?!?! Really?!?! Where oh where has the summer gone?

So it's restaurant week. I see the new Ruth's Chris is a choice this year...I am so there. What a great opportunity to try out different downtown restaurants for a great price. I'm also excited about the ArtD tour. I've never been but it looks like a really good time...and this is the last one this year. And ladies! I hear the warehouse sale this Saturday is not to be ...
