Wearing O The Green

We had a blast Saturday for St. Patrick's Day. Started at 8 a.m. and I have no idea what time we finally fell into our beds. I know it was dark outside, that I had walked about 130 miles over the course of the day and drank almost as many beers.....not one green beer though. Here we are pimped out in our finery. You can check Jen's blog for more pics! Great time.

Girl talk

I sent this to all of my girlfriends tonight. My only regret is that my Mom doesn't have email, I'll have to print it out for her. Anyway, thought I would share with all of you, too.

I read this in Glamour tonight (laugh all you want) and I really liked it.

11 Things Every Woman Deserves in Life

1. A friend who takes your side and has the guts to tell you when you're wrong.
2. One item of clothing that instantly makes you feel twice as beautiful and half as nervous.
3. The occasional good cry, for no particular reason.
4. A man who just cannot get enough of your body.
5. At least as much pay as the guy at the next desk who does the same job.
6. A same-size friend with an incredible closet.
7. A really hot, really fast red car. Failing that, really hot red shoes you can run in.
8. The expensive toilet paper.
9. To sometimes lie back and take, take, take in bed.
10. A grandparent equivalent: wise, huggable, all ears.
11. A life in which you play the starring role.

Minnesota Fats, baby!!

We did it! We purchased a pool table. We should have it in about 2-4 weeks. We picked a traditional style with wicked cool claw feet, deep cherry finish, fringe on the pockets and khaki color felt. The goal is to give the basement an Irish Pub feel. Next we need to paint and then pick out some furniture. It will be nice when it's done as hopefully people will hang out down there during parties instead of packing into our tiny kitchen (wink wink).

Here is a pic of what it will look like...

So they sales guy was trying to talk us into going with a more expensive felt that won't pill. Only he kept saying "pillage." So I said, "so it won't pillage, will it still plunder?" He said he didn't realize it was comedy night. Whatever, you guys know it was funny.
