    I am excited for next weekend. I will be making debut visit to Atlantic City (aka AC). I am going with some friends from work. We are staying at Bally's. I have to watch Working Girl and bring back the huge hair ~ busy week ahead . . . . . .

    Darbi's show Shoot the Messenger was featured in the NY Times today.

    Darbi and I met up last night to attend Annie's play The Breakup & The Happy Sad at The Flea Theater

    The week has been crazy. I am sorry about not keeping my site up to date. I will attempt to be better.

    Happy Easter!
    Bring on the PEEPS! My friend Lindsay and I are heading to Jen and Shane's to celebrate Easter with Joe and Kristin and Jen's parents (Barry and Cheryl).

    My friend Bob was in town for work. I met him and his colleagues for dinner on Wednesday evening at Dos Caminos in Gramercy Park. I absolutely love the Cosmo Diablo and guacamole.

    Andrea, Buffie (Rose ~ check out the St. Patty's Day Dress), Karla and me


    Saturday ~ I spent most of the day at Shamrock's in St. Paul checking in people for the Finnegan's Pub Crawl. I met up with Carolyn and Michelle for dinner at a new restaurant in St. Paul (The Strip Club - it is a play on words . . . .New York Strip STEAK, people, seriously. . . . What were you thinking??)

    Carolyn and Tim. Aaron was busy with his 'Man-gagement' ring . . . .

    I met up with Kim. We enjoyed a Caribou coffee. She is slammed with tax season.


    Thursday: I flew into Minnesota. My sister-in-law, Jean, was so kind to pick me up. I then grabbed Marie's "SWEET" ride (aka an 80's Taurus) and went out to Mom and Dad's. It was great seeing the house with new siding ~ what an improvement! Greg's family came out for dinner.
    Greg, Carissa, Megan, Ben and David (Becky was under the weather)


    Megan's dog, Boo, just had his man-surgery . . .

    Hello

    I will be in Minnesota from March 13th to March 16th. I will be at Shamrock's on March 15th assisting at the Finnegan's St. Patrick's Day Headquarters. I am throwing a baby shower for Amy, Ted and little Rose on March 16th. I am so excited to meet Rose. My next visit after that will be at the beginning of June for Carissa's graduation from New Prague High School!

    Other items that are going on in my life . . .
    Dealing with a little mice issue at the house - all floors are having a slight issue. I am just the lucky soul who is catching them. My trick is baiting the trap with goat cheese. My friend, Hilary, is using Cheddar and having no luck and Jeff/Ashley are using Peanut Butter and having no luck either. Spike is definitely not earning his keep. He better start stepping up the game soon! So far the count is at two dead mice. YUCK!

    Ok - It has been a crazy busy time in my life. I apologize for not keeping my web site up to date. Thanks for stopping by and keeping the faith that I would at some time get you caught up.

    Saturday ~ I met up with Darbi and Lisa (college) last night. We enjoyed dinner in the East Village.




    I was in Fort Worth, Texas from February 25th through February 28th for work. I got to experience the life . . . . Bull Riding






    I also got to experience Armadillo Racing. I put on these thick rubber gloves and my first question to the young cowboy who had hold of the Armadillo was "Do they bite?" He assured me that they do not bite. I took the Armadillo, he was really wanting to get loose. When the race began my little guy flew down the path. We won the race!!
