Happy Birthday Dylan!



Yesterday was my nephew Dylan’s birthday! It was a carnival theme party with a popcorn bar and games. Dylan wasn’t too interested in opening his presents. But I think he is making a good competitive eater in training because he totally went to town on his cake.

More photos here.

I swear I’m not becoming a crazy cat lady…



…but all I’ve been doing lately is sitting on the couch watching the Olympics and taking photos of Kitty…

a single girl’s guide to valentine’s day



1. I made myself a heart-shaped burger for Valentine’s Day. I don’t need a man to make heart-shaped meat product for me. But it would be nice.

2. On Valentine’s Day morn Chelsa and I grabbed brunch at Blue Bayou where I had a crawfish omelet and we split some beignets.

Then we met Joe and Alina and Cornie and some others to see Casablanca at Music Box. Can you believe I’ve never seen it before? It was really good but it kind of took me too out of it that I kept thinking “Oh, that’s where that line is from!” and the fact that the couple in front of me kept making out…

3. I haven’t watched the Olympics since I think the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding year…I just never really cared. But for some reason I started watching it on Saturday and can’t get enough. It’s been pretty awesome.

4. My Valentine’s Day hair was pretty cute. Just sayin.


(semi-inspired by the women’s skiers…its how I wear my hair when I ski. Which is never. Because I have a nervous breakdown at the top of bunny hills. But I wear it like that because I need to keep my hair out of my face but still want to look like a girl.)

5. I took a lot of photos of Mr. Bo. I swear I am not a bitter old cat lady. He’s not even my cat!

posted because he probably remembers none of this…



Last Sunday was MK’s birthday…which meant we totally celebrated it and didn’t sit around all day watching football…

But anyways.

Friday he had a get together at his house. Which meant I had to drive to Bolingbrook. Which meant I had to dig out my car…It was kind of buried under a foot and a half of snow and had a mound piled up behind it. After spending a half hour scraping and shoveling I got it out. Only to get stuck in the alley. But then I managed to shovel out some snow from under the tires and finally was on my way.

I got to MK’s around 8. And he was kind of drunk when I got there. It only got kind of worse…

Julie and I drank a bottle of wine and I had some Ecto-Cooler inspired somekindadrink and we all played with the nerf guns and helicopter.

I may have accidentally texted JoeW’s parents house from MK’s phone “I Love You”…did you know that if you do that it will call the person and leave a transcribed message? Oops.

And did I mention that MK was pretty wasted? But shhh, don’t tell anyone!

I left around 2 which meant at around 3am I got stuck in the alley and had to shovel myself out. And then still kept getting stuck trying to park so I gave up, got stuck again, had to drive around looking for a free spot that wasn’t covered in snow. :( And my back hurts again now.

But anyways.

Happy Birthday MK!
