This American App

I love some NPR

-and I wear glasses-

so automatically I love the new iphone app

for 

This American Life

it's the entire archives since 1995

*lucky me*

Cocktails for the Cure

*My new job is challenging*

and very different

from the bar tending I've done

for most of my professional experience 

~a bonus to my new job is that I get to put on events~

so 

in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month
We held an amazing evening
~with~
*Cocktails for the Cure*
the whole staff
wore our signature pink shirts
(the guys were thrilled)
so a big pink
*Thank you*
to everyone who participated
and supported
(yay! to good causes too)

(B.T. in his Passionately Pink Tee)

(My pink dress)

I'm waiting for my pink hair!

*Thank You to the Ladies of*

Alicias Salon

they were putting in pink hair extensions 

*they are drinking a Ta-Ta-Tini*

each of the bartenders

came up with a pink drink

to raise money to donate to the 

Susan G. Koman Foundation

the Ta-Ta-Tini was the hands down winner for the evening

but I loved them all!

(Kristen of Darlin'I and I)

We take as a personal threat,

 the lump in every friend's breast.
