You made it to work for two days this week, celebrate....*~*Two for One Tuesdays in our Divine Lounge this evening!*~*
...So of course I come to the Midwest and what happens? It rains! We had plans to go to the amusement park today and we couldn’t because not only was it raining, but there was also thunder and lightning! Ah, I really can't complain because at least the weather is only 80 degrees :)
If you’re struggling to hold onto your job during our economic crises, which is hopefully no longer on the rise, then you might find this article quite funny. “You’re fired—Top 5 Layoff Stories.”

"A three-inch rain in Phoenix means three inches between drops." ~Local Saying
"I'll take heat rash over frost bite any day."~Ken Travous…I can very much agree with this quote!
Hope that your weekend is fabulous. Mine is being spent relaxing, packing, and doing laundry! At least I am beating the heat inside with the air conditioning. Summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean that Arizona is getting cooler anytime soon.
- If you’re looking for live music then check out Scottsdale’s leading live music spot, Martini Ranch. Tonight has a great lineup, DJ Randy at 9 Pm and then Javier Garcia and Rock Lobster at 10:30 PM. This venue also has very well known singers who come throughout the year. For a calendar of events visit, http://www.martiniranchaz.net/calendar.php
- Beer is always the drink of choice during the summer months. It is perfect for parties, gatherings, and good times with friends. Four Peaks Brewing Company is the local spot of choice with a peach flavored ale, malty sweet brew, and delicious beer battered fries; you can’t go wrong with this location. In the cooler months the patio is a good spot to gather with friends and family.
- Eldorado pool in South Scottsdale wants you to celebrate tonight with Hawaiian Luau. The event runs from 5 to 8 PM and will have live hula dancers, music, activities, and games. For details, call 480-312-2484.
With summer coming to an end many of us will be cleaning out our closets. Vista del Camino is looking for children’s and teen used clothing for the clothing bank. Sizes from infant to adults are welcomed and can be dropped off from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday at the center located at 7700 E. Roosevelt St. Call Pat Leos at 480-312-0064 for more information.
