Updates

Ok, since I haven't updated my blog I'll let you know what's been going on my with my life.

I had Isabel over to my house to help me get organized and clean up before my friend came to visit. It's been a long time coming. I moved my Xmas and holiday decorations up to the attic to make room in the closet for other stuff. I still haven't been able to put together my craft desk but I'm still working on it.

So my friend and I ended up going to Mimi's Tapas Bar when he got in. Mimi's is a place my ex-boyfriend Joaquin opened a while ago. I hadn't been there lately since he moved to Chicago but I love it b/c it serves food til 2:00am. Since both of us hadn't eaten we had some tasty tapas and drinks. Unfortunately I had to go to work the next day and of course I was so tired and had a bit of a hangover. Oh well. On Thursday Shoefty had a trunk show for Arthur Medonica (sp). I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling. I wasn't that impressed with his clothes. He had one or two pieces that I really liked. Of course while there I looked around the shop and saw an orange Phillip Lim dress that I've got my eye on. I might have to go back and pick it up. We ended up going to Delachaise later for a late dinner and drinks. Delachaise is a bar that serves really innovative food and drinks late into the night. Really good food. As we were sitting there I looked next to me and Terence Blanchard was standing next to me. If you don't know who he is just watch any of Spike Lee's movies. He does all the soundtracks for his movies. I tried to play it cool and didn't ask for a picture but other people recognized him and he was really nice to them. Oh well. On Friday, we we ended up going to JazzFest after I got off work. I wanted to see Alison Kraus and Robert Plant. Since we got there so late we really couldn't see or hear them but we did see Ozomatli. It was a beautiful day with a little bit of sprinkling but nothing major. It's been raining almost every other day of JazzFest since than. We ended up going to Jacque-mos later that evening and I of course had the rabbit. Yummy! Saturday was just a relaxing day. We went to Noah's (Isabel's son) birthday party. After that we had lunch in the quarter and than we walked around but had to rush back to the B&B we were staying at b/c of the rain. We had wine and cheese there in the evening. We ended up meeting a bunch of people staying there and they were very cool. We ended up going to see Ozomatli at the Howling Wolf. It was a great weekend. Lots of New Orleans adventures. Here's me with my wonky eye wearing my Phillip Lim dress. I got lots of compliments. Here's a pic of Ozomatli too.
