I know everyone is super excited for the holiday weekend. Many people are off work today, taking a vacation, and just happy to have a little time with family and friends. We are all lucky this year that the 4th of July falls on a Saturday! Celebrate the countries declaration of independence the right way-fireworks, food, and entertainment!

**Another big 4th of July party besides Tempe Town Lake is at the Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix. This will be their 24th year in a row!

Today’s rant…So what is it about moving that gives us this happy-medium feeling? I am currently moving in another roommate and reorganizing a two-bedroom/two bath for three people, yeah not exactly a favorable living arrangement, but you do what you have to in times of slow business! Not only was I wrong about how much stuff they owned, but I was reminded of how much stuff I have. I piled box after box, as I put away my winter clothes, making room in my closet for not only my possessions. I find myself saying, “I have no clothes,” yet I had not one extra hanger in my closet, until I boxed my winter belongings. Who owns three hair dryers, 100 plus shoes, and at least 30 pairs of jeans, but claims they have no clothes? I know that I am not the only one!

Have a wonderful weekend!

**Remember Father’s Day is just around the corner… I myself got onto Walgreens.com and decided to make my dad a calendar. They are currently running a 25% off special on Father’s Day Gifts.

**Beautiful Monday! Hope that you had a wonderful, relaxing, and rejuvenating weekend.**

Two weeks from tonight join Hotel Indigo in the Divine Lounge for a musician who pushes the boundaries musically!

*~*Hotel Indigo will have a very successful and talented musician in the Divine Lounge on Monday, April 27th. His name is Brian Chartrand and he is from Phoenix, Arizona. I just visited his MySpace page and his music sounds wonderful. The song "Ghosts in the Orange Blossom Air," is AMAZING! You can hear most of his songs on his MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/brianchartrand, and download from his new solo EP "Out of The Either" for free! Visit his website and get familiar with his music before seeing him live. I promise that you will not be disappointed! For more information on Brian's projects visit, www.cdbaby.com/all/

*~*Brian has been busy, this month alone he has played/will be playing in New York, various Scottsdale and Phoenix locations, and in Massachusetts. He released four albums in 2008 and has been working just as hard in 2009 with the release of "Live at the Historic Yuma Theater." He has already begun his second project, and a third featuring Mike Florio and Mel Brown. His songs are a variety of sounds from bluesy to acoustic to a thick dance club type bass line...something for every type of music lover, with each song written in a classic, acoustic folk tradition. He pushes the boundaries of what a "singer/songerwriter" album should sound like with the latest in instrumentation, new directions, and new influences.

~A new Twitter follower, "We were at your hotel Friday night dropping some relatives off. Looks like a cool hotel!" Always looking for other followers! 

Is it not the worse when Tuesdays feel like Mondays? That is the type of day that I am having today. Not feeling too hot, family left and I am feeling kind of lonely, and the truth of the matter...I am just not in the mood to do much work on my slowly progressing novel or anything else. What is it about Tuesdays anyway?  They are just an odd day of the week, not good for much of anything except work maybe?!  Possibly, a happy hour will make me feel better?

*Two-for-one Tuesdays at Hotel Indigo in the Divine Lounge on well drinks and domestics is always a great choice. Friendly quick service is necessary after a long day!
"Everybody was great"
"...Every single staff member has went out of their way to see if we needed anything..."
OR
...maybe some networking at Six Lounge with their appetizers and drink specials on their Society Tuesdays?
Then again

...I could always go to Native New Yorker for their wing Tuesdays...30 cent wings all day, why not?
AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS
...Kona Gril is always a winner and a social spot for happy hour from 3 to 7 PM.

• There are always people to meet and friendly attractive faces to talk to for those looking to mingle. 

That is ONLY if I make it home in time for American Idol and then 90210. I love my television shows, it actually gives me something to look forward too after a long day, being that I do not have a hubby or children yet!

Sleepless Sunday...

*As I sat around this morning trying to figure out the new social network of Twitter, I realized that there are a ton of different applications all used for different purposes. The steps seem simple, but it is still taking me a little while to get a hang of it all. I think the website is a great idea for any business and it seems to be getting a great deal of publicity. In a world full of social media websites, from Twitter to MySpace and everything in-between, life seems to be all about staying connected in the digital age. If you want to succeed in this day and age, then you have to be a part of it all. The struggle is finding followers, maintaining followers, and posting information that people are interested in reading and since I am not famous… it is hard to reach the amount of followers that some users have.

…And now it’s after midnight and I am still playing on this twitter site… it is a pretty great site and actually quite addicting.

Nevertheless, try something a little more relaxing this Monday Night

• Monday nights at Furio in Old Town, Scottsdale hosts manicures and margaritas. For anyone who is stressing over the economy, but still wants to keep their nails looking great then this is the event to attend. Manicures are only $10 and they offer pizza and pasta for around $6 or $7! The place gets busy so arrive right away at 5 PM or after 8 PM. The event runs from 5 to 9 PM. This event is held for both men and women, so men don’t be shy!
• Can’t make it on Monday then Salty Senorita hosts the margaritas and manicures every Wednesday in North Scottsdale for $12. This is a great place to relax and drink! The event is less crowded, but a few dollars more expensive. Both guys and girls can enjoy the experience!

~Are you on spring break or vacation and looking for that “crazy” Monday night party? Then join Toxic Monday at Zuma on Mill Ave at 9 PM. This monday features:

• Movie premiere party for Observe and Report with Seth Rogen…will this be another success for the comedian/actor?
• NCAA college basketball championship game will be on television

*~*Saturday*~*

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." — George Bernard Shaw

*~*The Divine Lounge brings you $3 domestics and $4 well cocktails this evening. Relax in the lounge before hitting the Scottsdale nightlife.*~*

NCAA Basketball tournament starts today at 3:07 PM! The first game is UConn verse Michigan State and then Villanova verse North Carolina follows at 5:47 PM.
Places to catch the game…
