Best Pizza in America?

So did you know the pizza place named best in America is right in Phoenix? I just heard about it a month or so ago (I'm a little out of the loop on this I guess). 
Pizzaria Bianco

It looks good and not too pricey, but supposedly you have to wait 3 hours to get a table.  Is anyone down for trying to get a table on a weeknight sometime? It opens at 5pm, so maybe we show up around 4pm and take turns waiting in line and heading across the street to the Rose & Crown?

Does anyone want to buy me tickets to this? I want to go! But I don't want to pay :)

           Sticky Fingers 10:00pm, cover if you show up after 11.  A launch party for a new dance night, you're supposed to dress glamorously, I might have to do this

          David Sedaris

This is sold out, so it's just a teaser, I wish I was going, he's very funny

Sales, Swaps & Stuff to do this weekend

So this one is courtesy of Tom, he went last year and was so excited to get shoes for like 1/2 off (the man goes through a lot of shoes!)  Click here for directions, it's not at the store, it's in a big warehouse.
                                                                                                                                        

Then there is Coffee, Cookies & Crafts " a celebration of independent art & crafts in Phoenix, Arizona."
                                                                                                                                        
And last but not least the Spring Clean out Frock Swap
"Come one and all and be prepared to strip down and Frock up! Bring anything and everything that no longer makes you feel fabulous to wear. If it's been in your closet and you haven't worn it in over a year, that's what I'm talking about!
All shapes and sizes welcome, and friends are more than welcome, just no boys please, even if they are gay, sorry.
Also all non frock items are welcome. Remember your crap is someone else's treasure. So that fondue pot you never use or those throw pillows you've bought too many of and now you can't even fit your ass on your couch, are all fair game!
The more you bring the better the swap.
I will load up Eric's truck and take all left overs to The Arc afterward so no worries on having to lug stuff away that you don't want.
Please bring a snacky snack type food to share as swapping is serious and we don't want anyone famishing out on my living room floor in the middle of a Frock-Off!"

This is at my friend Tara's house, so if you want to come call me or send me an email and you can be my guest!
                                                                                                                                       
And this is not something to do as much as something to buy . . .but if you are a pescatarian like me, you love to eat fish but feel bad about them being farmed.  Here is a good solution, my friend Margot and her family go to Alaska each year, catch their own wild salmon and then smoke it right there.

You can check out her catalog here.

Peeps Wreath (a little late for Easter)

So I am a little late on this posting, but better late than never!
So on Easter I found this adorable craft on this blog Tried & True and had to make one for myself! So I proceeded to practically buy out the CVS for their leftover Peeps and got to hot glueing.  In the original craft she used toothpicks and a straw wreath.  I already had a wicker (?) wreath so I just glued them on since toothpicks wouldn't work so well.  We'll see how it holds up in the Easter decorations box and hang it next year!


Also, did you know they made Peeps for other holidays like Halloween? Crazy right (I'm thinking another wreath is coming!)
