Palm Springs (for work)

This last Friday we took a two and a half hour trip to Palm Springs. It was great because Megan, Nina, Melissa, Stefanie, Abbi and I all worked the same event! It was my first catering event since New Years. It was Scher's first ever. I showed her how to tie her new tie in the car. It was a 500 plus people fund raiser for the Palm Springs Air Museum. It was so hot there in the afternoon. It was so nice. Then when evening came and we got to take an extended dinner, it was the perfect temperature to eat outside. It was a beautiful night. Poor Scher hadn't been feeling too well for a couple days, and got worse and worse as the night went on. By the end of the night she had no voice left. She didn't get it back fully until yesterday. We drove and got back about 2:30.

[Not to play into any stereotypes, but we did have to make a stop for a 2 1/2 hour trip. Rookies]

Yesterday I worked the final day of load in for the Pepperdine student opera. Then Jason, a friend Krista, Ashley and I cooked dinner at the Campbell's. We made pasta with chicken marinara sauce, and I learned how to make fried okra! It was awesome, I had never had it before. Then we sat down and had dinner with the Campbells.
After that we watched Amadeus. Did you hear that Ricky? I finally watched Amadeus! But I don't know if I feel better now, or even more ashamed for not having seen it sooner. The movie is amazing, and one of my new favorites.
And now I just found out that the party I'm scheduled to work Saturday is in Palm Springs again! But it's a shorter party which kind of sucks. We'll probably spend half the length of the party getting there and back. But it's work, so I'm not complaining!
