Thursday was great. The crowd was wall to wall. I had a wonderful time until the parking garage was locked with my car in it after I left Bazaar. Boyfriend sweet talked the security lady to open it.


I missed the rest of the Invasion since I took Friday as a day to study, then went to a cook out with intentions to go to Loca Luna. WRONG! Our refrigerator just stopped working I think that morning and upon return we had a smelly runny kitchen with old nasty food. We spent the night cleaning.

Today, missed the final brunch because well, we are trying to get that friggin machine to work. We gave up. Getting a new one. We're off to go out to get dinner. I hope everyone had fun!

Dex, Kim, I LOVED meeting you guys and now I have more ATL friends! we must get together again...after I repair the refrigerator and get the stinky food smell out of my kitchen.
