CIAA week is over, and I’m sure everyone found exciting events to pique their interests. I attended a “private," grown-folks day party, and it was fabulous.

Kudos to my friend Meg for providing such a splendid event.

I'm embarrassed to share that I pretty much burned the candle at both ends. Old school never felt so good. The Queen City did us proud, and I can't wait until next year!

Since you probably spent most of your money last week, here are some inexpensive options for the weekend ahead:

FRIDAY

When: Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. -11 p.m. Location: AMF University Lanes (5900 N. Tryon St.) Great Friday night treat for you, friends and family.

SATURDAY
Relationship Matters ~ Interested in free advice about relationships? I'm serious when I say it’s free. (Donations are gladly accepted, of course.)
