Interestingly, I wouldn’t call this week selfish at all.
I would call it LOVELY, AMAZING, FABULOUS, and DELICIOUS! To say that it was a busy one is definitely an understatement! Being a short week, I guess I tried to squeeze as much in as possible, including this…
Tuesday night, my friend Tiffany got free tickets through Yelp for Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and invited me to join her. Not knowing a THING about the show, I said YES immediately!
When it comes to musicals, I pretty much love them all. When I peeked online, I saw that the songs were ones I love like “Material Girl,” “We Belong,” and tons of fabulous disco songs. I was so excited!
Before the show, Tiffany and I made the decision to “Eat Fresh” instead of going out for a fancy dinner.
We’re both actively participating in the ol’ DietBet, so we didn’t want to blow it on day three! We did, however save enough calories to enjoy a glass of wine before the show at Crave.
The show itself was AWESOME. The story of three drag queens working their way across Australia, set the the soundtrack of so many of my favorite 70s and 80s hits. Uh-mazing!
There were also SO many fabulous drag queens in the audience. One of which posed for a quick pic with us before the show got started. Seriously, Tiffany and I always have a blast when we hang out. So nice to see her midweek!!
As though Tuesday night weren’t enough fun for the week, I had plans on Wednesday night to meet up with my Rockstar ladies at a local wine bar.
Again, I found myself in turmoil about what to eat. After peeking at the menu at the restaurant we were going to, I made the decision to eat healthy before I headed to the restaurant and just have a salad at the wine bar.
I can’t even tell you how much I loved the restaurant we chose: The Village Cork. If you live in Denver and have not had the pleasure… it’s time.
There is so much about this place that I loved. I loved the “magical almonds” they brought us to enjoy, the walls that were lined with corks, and the fresh flowers that set on a large nearby table. I loved the menu, the delighful wine list, and the overall ambiance.
Mostly, I adored the company I was with. The delicious red wines were poured, and our conversation flowed just as easily. We ordered flights, and fabulous dinners for the ladies and an amazing heirloom tomato-kale salad for this girl.
My only complaint was that we couldn’t stay all night and drink wine… and that it will be a little while before I can go back! Seriously, Denver Peeps, go here… and go often!
While Thursday night was a quiet one, my week is about to get even more exciting because I’m heading HERE for the weekend…
And even better than being in this fabulous city… I get to see two of my favorite former co-workers. I am so excited to visit and catch up with these two.
Stay tuned for Chicago stories next week! I’m off to pack my bag!
