    We had the besttttt time ever last night, yeah we go out on Mondays… don’t judge. I worked the entire weekend so Monday was my pretend Friday and a good time to say the least. It’s funny how when we talk about going out it always starts with, “Hey you um… wanna go grab a drink, somewhere casual, nothing crazy?” That somehow always turns into Erin sneaking on a fake eyelash when I’m not looking, which then leads to me putting on a higher heel and tighter pants, which leads to much more than planned and last night proved to be just that. Casual hair in pony tail night turned into hair flipping as we danced the night away night.

    We initially wanted to go try out that new Noble Experiment place Downtown but it was closed so we hit up the always reliable La Puerta. Monday’s are half off ALL drinks and ALL appetizers, all night long which is the greatest ever. For 10 people our bill was only like $140.00 for the entire night, anddddd we had endless drinks and apps. Mmmm their guac and chips is delish, and frozen margaritas even better. I nevvvvvvver take tequila shots because that’s just aggressive but last night I decided to live a little and am glad I did ;)

    We ended up meeting up with #95, at first I thought things might be a bit hectic since we had a tiff a while back, but we kissed and made up. Anyway, we all danced the night away, and of course Sheila was our Salsa instructor for the night. She looks like a pigeon about to depart for flight ahashsjhdjshd

    We had so much fun that Sheila and I had to get a room at the Hard Rock. We ran back to the room, made it rain quarters, ate chocolate chunk cookies, fought over the one bottle of water and called it a night. Anyway, the moral of this story 1. I love my friends and 2. is La Puerta’s Monday night happy hour is the best invention ever and 3. Sometimes it’s fun to do things you normally wouldn’t do, like drink tequila on a Monday.

    If you live in San Diego you probably have heard of the new restaurant Searsucker that opened recently Downtown, but in case you haven’t? Well here we go… Searsucker is located where the old Z Gallery was on 5th Ave. It’s been getting quite the buzz so we went there last night for the first time to check it out. Besides our waitress being slow as a snail, we had a pretty fun time. Champagne was involved so how can you really go wrong? On top of that being delicious, the food was really good too.

    It is the perfect place to have a large dinner or birthday party, pretty big with lots of room, 8,000 square feet to be exact and not to mention a giant bar which makes waiting for a table no big deal. You probably won’t have to wait too long for a seat though, there’s seating for 60 around the large, rectangular bar, 140 in the restaurant and another 60 on the patio outside (plus 40-50 more in the upstairs private dining room).

    For dinner I had the most delicious salad ever. I of course was difficult and ordered just lettuce, mozzarella and avocado, plain you say? No way so perfect mmm. Everything was so fresh and there was no shortage of giant chunks of yummy cheese and avocado. I also ordered a side of Asparagus which was grilled and topped with shredded parmesan cheese, again yummm and then ate a million pieces of their cheddar puffs. A flaky roll full of melted cheddar cheese, maybe the yummiest thing ever. Other people ordered the spicy shrimp and baked artichoke, both of which were also so tasty. We were going out after so I didn’t want to over do the meal but I ended up eating too much anyway.

    A bit more info:

    Menu: New American classic cuisine which is divided into 7 sections: Bites, Smalls, Greens, Ocean, Ranch, Farm. Crab cakes, seafood, meats, salads, veggies, desserts, cocktails…

    Ambiance: The decor is open, roomy, casual, modern. Cool lighting, lamps, couches, tables…

    I have a fun new place to tell you about, you may or may have heard of it already, but The Rivera Hotel in Palm Springs is a really fun place to visit, even if it’s just for the day! It’s a hotel that has a super fun pool to hang out at, it makes for a great quick day trip getaway. I’ve always wanted to go because I saw pictures of it that looked really fun, the pool has these giant floaty bright colored pillows you can lay on so I had to check them out! A few gfs and I headed out to Palm Springs and had a blast at the pool. Anyway, for more info on The Rivera Hotel check out their site! It’s about 2 hours away and a super fun, quick day vacation. You don’t need a hotel key to get in either ;)

    They have tons of yummy drink options too. Perfect pool to kick back and relax at for the day.

    Since everyone seems to be left so confused over my recent over night relocation I decided to update you all on exactly what is going on over here… well actually, there really isn’t much to update or say other than I moved to Las Vegas! I have been playing around with the idea for years and finally decided to make the jump. I drove out my stuff with my pal Arika on Saturday and finally have gotten all settled in. We got a chance to run around Las Vegas a bit and play, so overall it was a super exciting weekend, with lots of changes. I plan on hiding out here for a bit and revamping my site, you know… really kicking it up a notch so stay tuned ;)

    After moving all day Saturday, Arika and I decided to head out and meet up with some friends! The great thing about living in Las Vegas, is that you always have someone in town visiting. On Saturday night we hit up Vanity nightclub at The Hard Rock Hotel with Shiela & Angie.

    It was eh ok, super busy due to the fight being in town. We stayed at Vanity a bit and peaced out to eat Sonic. Why is eating always more fun?

    My 2nd favorite Kardashian turned 31 last weekend, and what better way to celebrate than to hit up a Vegas pool party? Kourtney Kardashian and her 2 sisters made a splash at Wet Reublic, another one of the trendy pool parties, this one being at the MGM Hotel. The birthday party was sponsored of course by Wet Republic but also by Bombay Sapphire. Gin? Yuck but hey, at least the cake looks cool!

    At Wet Republic they walked the red carpet, Kim in a black Proenza Schouler jumper, L’Wren jewels and Robert Rodriguez heels and Kourtney flashing a bikini under a cover up. See, I told you rompers would be all the fuss this Spring & Summer ;) To shop an almost identical black romper as the one Kim wears here, visit www.bebe.com.

    Here are some pics of the sisters at the event! Anyone else think Kim’s lips are part of the ever changing face she’s been showing off lately? Maybe they’re just lined but they look a little plumper to me ;P
