So for 2010 Lesley and I decided we needed to have more fun.
In January, we went to “The Importance of Being Earnest” at the Hale Center Theater.
In February, we went to Ballet West’s “Swan Lake” at the Capital Theater.
We have yet to decide on our fun event in March, which is quickly drawing to a close.
Every Wednesday, our BFF Kendra comes up to Salt Lake and we go out to dinner. In recent weeks (okay, let’s be honest, months) we have seemed to only go to 2 or 3 different places… BORING. Last night, we all decided to take a chance and try something different. We could not think of any thing “different” so we went for a drive that took us to Trolley Square, down 400 South, up State Street, across 2nd Ave, up to the University, down through Foothill and we ended at 21OO East 2100 South… The Blue Plate Diner!!! Les had heard about it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives from the Food Network. It was a total dive but has a fun retro feeling. The staff were really laid back but professional. They serve breakfast all day long so Les got a Belgium Waffle, and Kendra shared her basket of steak fries with me. I also ordered a chocolate shake (ya, real healthy Alli- aren’t you supposed to be on Weight Watchers?!!! But that is a whole different story for another time).
It was all delicious and we have already decided to go back next Wednesday. I think I’ll get French Toast or Eggs Benedict.
During our drive, Kendra mentioned our goal to have more fun in 2010 and suggested we should try to have friendship goals for 2010 (more like goals we accomplish as friends). I think our first one will be finding the best non-dairy dessert in Salt Lake (We might included Utah County in the search as well). I think a stipulation should be that it must be from a local establishment and not a chain. Any suggestions? The non-dairy will be hard b/c we all love ice cream but Kendra is lactose intolerant and we already know the best ice cream dessert is at Leatherby’s in Taylorsville.
Happy Hunting!!

Is it sad that our first "friendship goal" involves food? ;)
I am excited about all the adventures we will soon be having and really--I couldn't ask for better people to be on an adventure with.
We went to Mexico for March!!! More fun in 2010:)
