I was very busy at work today and didn’t even get a chance to cruise around the message boards. I miss my peeps! I hope your day was filled with a lot of kisses and green beer! We’re going to The Outback Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate because an Australian restaurant shouldn’t be very crowded on an Irish holiday right? HA!

Did you dance a little Irish jig today?

Do you know how little kids can be “hams” and just go nuts when you get a camera out? They pose and smile, and turn into little models right in front of us, right? Is it possible that animals learn this behavior also?

My oldest cat, Dizzy, was sleeping on her back today so I grabbed the camera to take a picture of her. The next thing I know, she is rolling around, looking at me, then moving around again, and literally striking rather sexy girlie poses for me.

I only got a few pictures, because the rest were blurry from me laughing and shaking so hard. LOL! I guess she’s just so use to being in front of the camera, that she wants to make sure I get her good angle in the picture. LOL!

It’s hard to believe that my oldest son will be graduating from high school next year. If time flies at the same speed it has in the last 17 years, then graduation day should be here in about 8 months. Really! Where does the time go, and can I get some of it back?

I was thinking the other day about plans for his graduation party. I’m not sure if I want it here at the house, or if we should rent some type of small banquet room out at a local restaurant. I guess it’s up to him if he wants just family there, or if he wants to invite his friends as well. I’m sure he’ll want a mixture of both.

One thing that I am going to make the final decision on is the invitations. I want to use photo greeting cards that have his graduation picture on them, like these:

All I need to do is upload or email a high resolution image to CardsDirect and they will print the cards, and add whatever text I want. They will email me an electronic proof of my card to approve before the final printing is done. This ensures I get exactly what I want!

What I was thinking by using these, is that everyone will get to see his graduation picture without me spending a fortune on a huge photography package. I’m so smart like that. HA!

My neighbor across the street has what I call “The Man Garage.” When he opens the garage door it looks like a studio apartment in there. Neon beer signs, a couple reclining chairs, a TV, refrigerator, a computer, a set of drums and a guitar. Basically it’s all the husbands crap that the wife didn’t want in her house. I don’t know them at all, but every time I see him sitting in that reclining chair with the remote control in his hand, it just cracks me up, and I want to ask him why he basically lives in the garage. I can just hear his wife saying, “Leave me alone, go to your garage!”

Anyway, what made me think about this is, he watches Jerry Springer daily. So when I am in my bathroom with the window open, all I hear echoing through the neighborhood is, JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY! Yep! He needs a “Man Garage.”

I’m one of those people that are always on time, almost to the point of being a little too obsessive about it. I get really wigged out if I have to wait around for people, and I don’t want anyone waiting around for me like that. Oh just thinking about it makes me heart race.

With me being so neurotic about time, you can probably imagine that I rely on my watch a lot! I know I have my cell phone and my laptop to tell me the time, but there is something about a nice pretty watch on my wrist that I just love. And I just love this Seiko Watch. It’s a bangle style which means it hangs like a bracelet on your wrist, and looks really dressy. The diamonds make it look really classy too. I love it!
