When Did I Start Falling For Opera Singers and Psycho Detectives?

Last night was just amazing. The hall was packed, everything looks very well put together, and there was never a dull moment. Completely blown away by the talented finalists that sang at the Opera Idol event. My absolute favorite was this performer named Sean (I'll find out his last name later) who just had the whole package: stage presence, a beautiful and powerful voice, and a very anti-diva attitude. He was also pretty cute...The event ended 10:00 pm-ish, and I noticed I had stood up the entire time since 6:00 pm.

After this prissy chick won Opera Idol, I was invited out by the lovely Michelle (Marketing Director), Ruth (Leasing agent at the property we were at), and Mary (Ruth's friend). Needless to say we caused a ruckus at the IHOP we descended on. Nice conversation, no end to the laughs, and we looked like we'd been friends forever. Left there 12:30 am-ish.

So if you get a chance to go see some opera live, you really should. I never expected to enjoy it, but it was very powerful and moving in person.

SIDE TRACK! I started watching Sherlock (BBC) a couple of days ago, and I am an addict for the chemistry between actors Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) and Martin Freeman (Watson). Both actors have had some very main stream success; Martin being the main in The Hobbit, and Cumberbach being the villain in the upcoming Star Trek film.

There are 2 seasons up on Netflix, each 3 episodes at about hour and a half length each.

The real reason I watch it...

When Did I Start Jamming?

I've been on a little music bender these past few days. There has even been occasional dancing and singing. Could this be...SPRING FEVER? CUE MUSICAL NUMBER!

So I've been using Pandora One for the past month, which is a paid version so you don't get any commercials. I think it was $4 or so for a month, and I find it worth it. I need music when I'm getting ready for work, and for going through paper work during the day.

There a few songs right now I'm really into, obviously "I Love It" by Icona Pop is one of them. That dancy girl pop is better than Red Bull to jump start my day!

Are there any songs you're jamming out to this week? I love finding new music.

I'm making this post to post automatically since at work I will be busy with an inspection, and afterwards I will helping out at the finale of the Opera Idol event sponsored by one of my sister properties. Gonna be load of fun, but I know getting home later than usual will make blog updating prospects impossible.

Got the hubby to take a quick shot of me this morning.

Tune in Saturday, as I'll be writing you all a poem!

When Did I Start Going Out?

It's a miracle ladies and gentleman! I, Adela Morales, actually went out AGAIN for an evening with a friend. One might even think I'm beginning to be social.

Before I tell you about that, at work we attended a Housing Fair for the university right next to us. Man oh man, did we look like the most fun/professional bunch there! Our Marketing Director hooked us up with 2 long tables, really nice bright orange table cloths with our company logo, all our printed materials, candy and treats, balloons, pens, and matching orange logo tote bags. I had a power point going of all the pretty pictures and important info about the building I work at. We got a lot of people coming up to us and asking questions, and 56 even signed guest cards that they were interested in more information.

I call that a success. I worked from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm, so 2 hours overtime, but totally worth it. Then, then even more fun part began!

The Marketing Director, Michelle, and I went out to go meet our fellow friend Ruth, a Property Manager. We had a nice rib dinner, potatoes, veggies, pineapple upside-down cake, and tea. After, we got a tour of some renovated units, which by the way looked killer. Then we made our way downstairs and watched a few opera singers perfom. Props to them, they had some beautiful voices.

We left around 8:30 pm and headed to Michelle's apartment to hang out with her adorable 2 cats that are a breed called Devon Rex. She was the most lovely host, but I had to leave at 11:00 pm considering it's a work night. All in all, I had a blast.
