Friday night, I left work and came home to check on my poor doggies who had been in their kennels ALL day. I let them out for a bit, but had to return back downtown to eat dinner with friends. We went to one of my favorite places downtown called the Asian Noodle Bar. I LOVE their fried rice...it's super yummy! Then my two friends and I went to a live theater production called triple espresso. The show itself was ok, but the theater it was in (the Kimo Theater) was beyond beautiful! They had beautiful artwork and carvings and bright colors all over. It is a small theater, but nice and cozy. As I said, the show was ok, it was a comedy of 3 friends re-aquatinting themselves and reminiscing about the past.
Afterwards, one of my friends and I walked over to the civic plaza, a place downtown where events are held and saw a Mariachi competition. That was interesting, but they had wonderful homemade ice cream!
Saturday, I went to old town to get a couple of people some New Mexico treasures. I love old town, so many little shops and lots of history! It had been a while since the last time I went, but it's always beautiful down their! I then went and got the truck an oil change (something that I hate doing but obviously have to do) and then headed home. I had a fun night to get ready for.
My friend and I went out Saturday night and my friends husband was so thankful for me taking her out so he could go to bed early!!! LOL! We went out to dinner at a place called Two Fools Tavern. It is the best fish & chips I've had since england and it's a small but lively irish pub. The food is great and the service is even better! It makes me feel like I'm back in Europe when I go in.
After dinner, we went to see a Broadway Hit, Beauty and the Beast! (I think my friends husband was just glad he didn't get dragged to this!) It was just like the movie with a couple additional songs! It was one of my favorite disney movies growing up and the scenery and staging they used was beyond beautiful! We had such a good time and it is something I will remember for a while. I love musicals and plays and really haven't been to any since Bloomington, but I have a feeling that is going to change.
I'm just hoping we get to stay here through January as Wicked is coming! I SO want to see Wicked!

Totally fun! I bet you loved it!
Sounds like a great weekend. I always had a hard time filling my time when Jay used to be gone. I'm glad you have good friends to spend time with.
Looks like a lot of fun! I'm always stuck home with the kids when Chris is gone so I"m glad you got to do fun stuff.
Great weekend. Everyone says wicked is wonderful. Something good to look forward to seeing. Staying busy is the name of your game.
I LOVE Beauty and The Beast. I've seen the broadway production of it Twice. We just saw Mary Poppins in April and are going to Lion King next month. If Mary Poppins comes...see it!! It's different than the movie yet the same, the music and dancing are awesome.
