Irish I Were Lucky!





St.Patty's Day 2008 was a cold one.  3 Bars and no green beer :(
One bar was even an Irish bar.  Where can you find green beer these days?  I still have never gotten the chance to drink it.

Coincidence? I think not....




Love this commercial! They're calling me...

A tiny bit of weight lifted off my back...


I will start off by saying I HATE SPRINT!  But....I don't hate them as much as I would have had I had to pay them $174

I started off with Sprint quite a few years ago.  I then added my dad to my plan.  Then I jumped onto Brian's plan and my name was still under my dad's phone and the unused line.  Long story short, I had cancelled a line with sprint last may (the day my contract was up) and I just received a bill a month ago saying I owed $165.71.  I called them irate and couldn't get it straighted out.  I threw it to the side and decided I'll try and deal with it again later.  Well, that was last month and so I just recieved another bill for $174 which I have been staring at for days, dreading the fact that I was going to call them because I was not going to pay them as they have screwed us before (Brian and I had cancelled a long distance plan and then continued to send us bills).  So tonight I called again.....and they cancelled the bill for me.  THANK GOD!!  They were completely trying to screw me over...they knew they were.  Why would I get a bill a year later for a cancellation fee.  If you have sprint, please switch to AT&T or something else.  So far, AT&T has been amazing...I am so happy with my cell phone carrier now..

2008 Mutt Strut




Last year, Chanel, Logan, and I walked in the 2007 Mutt Strut with our friends.  This year, Chanel plans to walk it again, and raise a little more money for the Humane Society.  If any of you are interested in walking with me also, that would be lovely.  The cost is $25 per person (which goes to the humane society) 5 years and older.  Even if you don't have a dog, it would be fun if you could join me.  We walk one lap around the speedway (2 1/2 miles).  It's a good way to raise money for the Humane Society and kick off the Race festivities.  The date is Sunday April 27th.  Chanel is looking to raise $150 for the Humane Society.  To donate, click on the little widget above or go to www.firstgiving.com.chanel

Thanks from Chanel and I!

My food obsession

I am hooked on eating sushi now.  That's all I want to eat for dinner!  I only get it about once a week because the good places to go are so far from me.  My favorite favorite place is Naked Tchopstix in Broad Ripple right next to the Vogue.  I get the crunch munch roll there.  My second favorite, my friend Dena just introduced to me last week.  It is Blu Martini on 96th Street.  They have half price sushi Monday-Saturday every night from 5-7.  The shrimp tempura roll there was fabulous!  Yum!  I have yet to find a place nearby that I really really like.  I have tried Hirosaki (in Avon) twice now and wasn't thrilled with their sushi.  What most people don't know is that all sushi isn't raw.  Yes, that's right, I am not eating raw fish.  I typically am not a seafood person, but really like the shrimp rolls.  If anyone has any suggestions for other good sushi places, let me know.  Also, I don't have many friends that eat sushi, so hit me up if you're in the mood :)

Hibernation

Oh, how I wish this weather was over for good.  I had to work last sunday from 11:30-6:30 so I completely missed the fabulous weather that you all got to enjoy.  Instead I had Monday and Tuesday off with sleet and cold cold air.  I hate how I want nothing to do with leaving my house when it is crappy out.  While I was at work on Sunday, I was talking about what I could be doing....cleaning my house, taking Chanel for a walk, riding my bike, opening my windows and airing out my house, cleaning off the patio from the winter damage, etc, etc...  I had so much I could be doing!  Do you think I did that yesterday or today?  No. Because the weather was too depressing to want to do anything at all.  Actually, I did rearrange my living room which entailed cleaning it too. I guess that's good.  But I wasn't close to in a good mood as I could have been Sunday.  It's so true that the weather keeps me from doing anything at all.  There's so many of you I want to visit and catch up with, but I can't get myself motivated to leave the house.  So this is the place I can use to catch you up with my life until I can leave my house.  

Also, Brian is looking for a job still, so if any of you have any ideas or hear or see anything, please let me know.  I have his resume so I can send to whomever.  Alright, well that's it for now....hope to see you all soon!

Thank You Babay!


Saturday night, some friends from work plus Stephanie and I went to Talbott Street to see the "Legends" drag show. There was Ms. Vickey St. James, Asia Labouche, and Alana Steele performing.  Us four girls had never been before, but heard it was fun so we were definitly excited about going.  Two guys we work with had been before so they took us.   We had a great time, even though it was a little too smokey for us.  Here are some photos from Saturday night.  

Here's Steph, Dena, Mary, and I with one of the Legends.  I forget here name
