On a happier note...

How cute is Jason Segel? I saw in a recent interview that he hasn't had a girlfriend in 8 years. Jason, I live in Chicago and make a mean waffle - you're welcome anytime.

When it Rains it Pours

Man oh man was it one of those days. The feeling of too much to do mixed with an "everything's fine" attitude sure blew up in my face. It's days like today that I love/hate living alone. It's certainly nice to come home, shut the blinds, crack a beer and wallow in self-pity for bit without having to worry about anyone witnessing it. However, at the same time it would be nice to have someone to complain to. Saying "I can't even believe that happened" and "the universe out to get me" just doesn't have the same effect when spoken to stuffed animals. Either way, here's to a day that's mostly over and hopes for a tomorrow filled with sunshine.

Described as "rich, dark and complex". Sounds like the perfect man to me! :)

Pin-spiration for St. Patty's Day Party

I really enjoy all the low-pressure holidays - Halloween, Valentine's Day, 4th of July (you get the point) and St. Patty's Day is no exception. All of these days and special in their own right but for me, I like them because they provide another reason to throw a celebration. I've pulled together a few images a grabbed off Pinterest for this year's St. Patty's Day bash. It will be my first one spent in Chicago and I plan to make the most of it.
