Parties

It's a festive time of year!

Saturday I had my annual girls night out. We met in the afternoon for shopping, had a room with a heart shaped hot tub (*giggle*) and hit the town. There was a cool bartender show (juggling, flames, etc.) even.

Sunday we did our annual St. Patrick's Day funfest, as that is when the Shamrock Shuffle and Parade were. Me and a few others walked, two of our friends ran. Chris and a friend waited at the bar for us. :-) It was a fun day, as usual.

Wednesday I leave for Texas and men invade my house for the NCAA tournament. There is a gallon of nacho cheese sauce, a gallon of jalepenos, a gallon of Frank's Red Hot, a giant prime rib, a box of 20 brats, about a million chicken wings and more in our house right now. Chris also has his beer tapper up and running. He converted a chest freezer over to a two headed tapper. There sits a 1/4 barrel of Leine's and two five gallons of homebrew. I return on Saturday, but am not going home. I'm staying in Madison with a friend. I'm a little scared to come home on Sunday to the carnage.

On a bright note, Chris and I went shopping for the non-institutional sized party food last night. He suddenly realized how even when you try to stick to a reasonable list and price compare, groceries add up. He said he'd be "complaining a lot less about my grocery bill for parties."

Oooh, I would totally love that party.

By the way, I finally received my mail. Good ol' Pony Express. I think MM caused the delay - she sidetracked the pony!

Yay for your girls' weekend. I think I'm need of another of those.

Why so few brats?

I had no idea one could purchase nacho cheese by the gallon.

Girl nights and guy nights are good for the soul, yes?

*looks at boo*
Hey! What did I do??
Sounds awesome, Kim! But nacho cheese sauce is yucky. Just sayin'.

Kim sent me mail via the regular mail system (i.e. The Pony Express). You recently hijacked a horse . . .

Hey, everyone has a horse in my party.

In honor of Boo's prezzie, I started a new thread on OT. However, in about another hour I must abandon ship and head to Texas.

Swami-I had my first brat of the year last weekend. Mmmmmm. *burp*
