We went out to eat and I ordered Mushroom/Chicken Fettecine. It arrived with a shrimp in it...one shrimp - no biggie but the waitress told the manager and he came over and personally apologized...it was comical in it's own right.
Then we hopped over to Benny's on Q. It was neat, we sat outside drinking it up and chatting. Here's the group gathered around one of the nice little heaters they have out back:
From left: Elyssa, Turalie, Pricilla, Paul, Nicole. In the front: Anna and ME
Pricilla drove all the way from San Francisco just to celebrate Turalie's birthday with us...isn't that sweet!!
Then we hit the club and it was hot and comical all the same. A few drinks in, Pricilla, Elyssa and I started taking photos in front of the fan...some are better than others...this one was only so-so...but funny none the less!
The bouncer tried to get me to have some drinks with him. Cute, but not my scene. I'm not a bar hopper and certainly not a club goer!!! I haven't been to a club in about a year...and that was with Alena and Akiko - which makes it something totally different. Anyway, because I'm trying to do something new and different at least once a week I thought this would be a good place to start. It was! It tested my comfort level in a variety of ways but I was still able to find my center and enjoy the time out.
Next week, me and "On Divorced Men" are going up to Feather Falls for a hike/climb. Not sure what to expect their but should be fun!

On a different note, I had some thoughts today...first, I need to take up a volunteer position that I devote at least 2 hours a week to. As it is, I don't feel like I'm giving and I think that something that doesn't put a lot of pressure on me but still allows me to give would be great. Maybe cooking on the weekends at the homeless shelter...
Another thing, when I got home tonight, there was a tape on my porch...I think I'm being stalked. I haven't looked at it or put in the player...I just thought it odd that someone bothered to leave something on my steps. No note. No nothing...very odd!
