Can't wait for Arpa Night!

Later this week I will have the distinct pleasure of seeing my Arpa Girls for the first time since I left the hotel almost 3 weeks ago!!! Arpa is the name of a tapas restaurant across the street from the hotel, and the location of the first few get togethers of this wonderful group of beautiful, smart and gifted women. We later branched out to going to each other's homes and other restuarants for drinks and a light dinner every few weeks, but we kept the Arpa name anyway. Part sounding board, part supper club, this was our version of Sex & The City - always raucus, rowdy, laugh-a-minute-fun - the absolute highlight of my time at CLTCC.



Special note: one of the Arpa Girls won't be able to join us this week. So along with a shout out to Amy, Katie, Nicole and Tina - can't wait to see you guys -- here's a special big ups to Mary, who is currently working at a fancy hotel in Detroit and who's probably most responsible for keeping this group going because of her CEB [compulsive experiemental baking]. She makes the best Green Tea Cheesecake I've ever had!! We heart you!
