...because weekends were made for fun ....

The long weekend is here and my family has not made it easy for planning on what to do for my birthday.

It is also a difficult weekend for Mr. S, since my b-day is two days after Valentine's day. I told him only one gift please....but I know he won't listen.

So....Friday is up in the air. We might go to the opening of Edison Farrow's and the Wire's new Friday nite "Funplex". Openings are always good .. Tiffany will be at the door and Daisy D. will be the DJ. For sure we will be hitting Twist and hang with the regulars and not so regulars...

Saturday is Valentine's Day ..... We are not sure what we will be doing, but I have already bought a basket full of little gifts .... Twist is having a Red Party and the Cinematique is having a screening of a 1929 silent film with live accompaniment (including an opera singer) and some wine, cheese and chocolate. 'The girls" are also having special shows and drink specials at the Palace. We might hit our favorite "Cafe Maurice" for dinner or cook at home and have a Couch evening ... We'll leave it to which ever way the wind blows....

Sunday we are hitting the Palace Food Bar for their new "Brunchic". They have a price fixed menu of $25.00 with mimosas or you can pay as you go. It is from

11 AM to 3 PM with a show at 1 PM. I expect it will be a nice afternoon on Ocean Drive.

Monday is my birthday day. Mr. S. has to work in the morning, so I will be hitting the Coconut Grove Art's Festival and the St. Stephen's Art Festival with my sis, friends and some of the kids. Later we will pick up Mr. S and head to my mom's for dinner (Arroz con Mariscos ... which is like a paella with only sea food)....and of course cheese cake! (I like cheese cake on my b-day). If time permits, then I will spend the rest of the evening with Mr. S (maybe hit Twist again or have a TV night catching up on the recorded DVR shows).

Whew!

Then, the rest of the week (and month) I will be in full Winter Party Committee mode and Happening planning OCD mode. Watch out ... it might not be pretty.... PLEASE stop me if you see me going over board!!! Mr. S. says he needs a shovel to hit me on the side of the head when needed .......

Whatever you do, Have a great Valentine's Day, President's Day and weekend.

NOTE: Have a good time at the Rufus concert in Philly Miss Vickie!!!
