St. Patrick's recap

This year was the tamest St. Patrick's days I have had.... however, still fun! I didn't get lost, spend $240+, or have to find a nice woman to bring me home. I would say that it was a success!

Warming up!

This unseasonably warm weather has me all crazy for more spring and summer time! Last weekend was spent roaming Uptown without jackets and enjoying the sun. We were out walking almost all of the day. I even had my very first full cigar! Ted and I picked out two cigars in Uptown and then enjoyed them on his rooftop deck while sipping "tan Margaritas." These margaritas consist of mostly tequila and will become part of my summer diet.

This weather also has me going crazy here at work. How can it be so nice outside while I am stuck in the office with my back to the window? Walks to Caribou definitely help get me through the day!

Currently, I am yearning for more walks, cabin time, bright colors to add to my nails and wardrobe, platform wedge sandals and the start of patio season.

Lets hope that the weather will continue to be this glorious!

Another year!

WOW! What a whirlwind weekend! I celebrated my 28th birthday on Friday by taking the day off of work. I salvaged a hangover from the Thursday night happy hour and spent the day with Ted! He made me a great "happy birthday" fruit tray and had a very cupcake themed day! We spent the rest of the day taking walks, playing mini golf at MOA and then went on the Surly Brewery tour. After that, we were thoroughly disappointed with the Minneapolis nightlife (nightlife staff mainly) but ended up staying out until bar close… complete with a late night semi-decent pizza run. I have not been able to bring myself to have Ted see me indulge in drunken Toppers yet. I am sure he will soon enough :)

Saturday was spent sleeping in and then I was surprised with a strawberry shake from McDonald's (a weakness of mine for sure) from Gwen … and her and I trekked to Andover to visit Mama Gautsch and the rest of the fam. My mom is doing VERY well following her knee replacement and I am anxious for her to get out of that recovery stage. Love you, Mom!

Sunday was my grown up birthday afternoon. I got my friends together at The old Drink in Uptown (now the Uptown Tavern) for their bloody mary bar (which is insane btw and $3 a bloody). It was great to get everyone together… though I feel very overwhelmed making sure I chat with everyone. Thanks to those that came out! I had a GREAT afternoon and weekend. I am truly blessed with the best friends and family and have so much love in my life!!!

Today, as I sit at work and reflect on the great weekend... All I want to do is put in a good workout, have a solo Target run and take a long bath. That is definitely on my agenda for this evening! The massive amounts of eating and drinking this weekend also make me want to detox until St. Patrick's day :)

Xoxo! Here is to another wonderful year ahead of me!
