Dinner Party

I actually missed a blogging day.  It is has been 3-1/2 months since I started posting every single day and yesterday I skipped.  I felt guilty, a bit, but hey, I've been good so far and besides, here I am again this morning.  Tuesday night was the last dinner party and it was awesome with a HUGE hitch in the meal.  Actually, it was the making of the meal.  I think I put something here about it, but I accidentally left my beef dish on the stove all night long on Monday night, forgetting to refrigerate.  I had to buy all the ingredients again ($80 worth of meat) and miss my art class to remake it.  Kind put a dent in my fun time, but all in all it was a fun time Tuesday night and I will make up the class either today or do 4 hours on next Tuesday.

The table setting ...

Got to use my Christmas plates and gold silverware I love!

I also want to apologize to my bloggy friends for not visiting your blogs and commenting.  I've just been so busy and my time to read is suffering.  I promise that in the next few weeks I will be back to catch up but don't forget to enter in the giveaway that will definitely end next Wednesday, December 15 and encourage others to enter.  I will probably add a few more things to the gift bag, like note cards of my art!  

Oklahoma Blogging Week: Tulsa Meetup

I was waiting...waiting for...the Tulsa Meetup for Oklahoma Blogging Week! 

It was quite fun and put together by Tasha Ball of Tasha Does Tulsa and Oklahoma Prosperity Project.  A OPP representative spoke and they were responsible for the food of the evening at The Melting Pot.   

As I said, Miss Tasha was our host and main speaker...

with fondue food from The Melting Pot and our other host OPP...

fun bloggie friends...

I spent a bit more time sitting, eating, listening and enjoying the beautiful evening air.  It did get a tad warm sitting close to the fondue parts but all in all it was a wonderful night.

Frustration

I am frustrated and angry and just plain mad.  I want to see the musical Wicked that is going to be at the Tulsa PAC in November.  I didn't see it last year when it came through so this morning I have spent the past hour in telephone ring-around-the-rosie hell.  I just happened to get a flyer in the mail this weekend with wonderful pretty pictures and a phone number to call.  I decided I wanted to buy season tickets because we also have Beauty and the Beast and 9 to 5, plus Burn the Floor a ballroom dancing show I thought The Hubby might like.  I called the phone number listed for season tickets and it was an automated number that told me to call an 877 number for season tickets.  I called.  I wanted to talk to an actual person so I could get as close to the seats I wanted as possible.  The first time around I got an automated kind of person that was interactive, I asked to "transfer" and was connected to a live person.  I told her I wanted to buy season tickets and she told me that the phone number was only individual tickets.  She gave me the original number to call.  I thought well, I must have missed something in the message and called again.  Nope, didn't miss a thing.  I called the 877 number again and got a guy who was very helpful, but, no dice.  No phone number to call.  I decided to check out Celebrity Attractions and try to buy online tickets only to get in some kind of a loop there.  They are going to force me to go downtown and personally buy the damn tickets.  I am not happy but I WANT to see that show.
