I'm ethnically diverse....

When it comes to food that is!

For those of you that celebrated St. Patrick's day yesterday, I applaud you. I broke out the only green item in my closet that I could wear to work. It wasn't quite the shade that people associate with St. Patrick's day, instead, it was more of an olive green.

But hey, I participated right?

Instead of going out & drinking green beer we decided to go eat Mexican food.

Which is actually really brilliant on our part. Last year on Cinco de Mayo we couldn't get in to a single Mexican restaurant.

So we figured last night that by eating Mexican food then (& probably celebrating Cinco de Quatro or Cinco de Seis) that we'd get our quota.

Which as our friend we ate with last night pointed out, "means we'll be eating Irish food on Cinco de Mayo!"

Happy Friday, y'all!

Monday, Monday

I am singing U2's Bloody Sunday in my head right now, only the lyrics truly are, "Monday, Bloody Monday." I sing this in my head in exasperation with people I work with who wait until the last minute to complete things & then expect me to sweep in with my sparkly pink tutu on, shake my wand over their head, sprinkle a little fairy dust on their computers & *poof* make everything better. Like magic.

I wish. Or maybe I TRULY wish that people would *poof* disappear. Like magic.

So - enough with my little rant.

We had a wonderful weekend. The party was a HUGE success. We had tons of people, loads of yummy food, a bartender pouring yummy drinks (very cleverly named, too) and a good time had by all.

I'd share pictures with you, but I didn't take any (I know - I was the hostess with the mostest & was taking care of my guests). I'll have to snag some from friends. Promise!

We indulged in:

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Stuffed Jalapenos wrapped in Bacon
Holiday Roasted Nuts
Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Spread
Roasted Turkey with Sweet & Spicy Mustard
Sausage Balls

All yummy in the tummy! If you're interested in any of the recipes, please let me know & I'll be happy to share them.

My week is sure to be crazy, so please forgive the limited commenting.

I have a giveaway coming up this week that will be the final one for 2009.

Happy Monday????
