I will be escorting my 2 girls to Displace me in Kansas City, KS this weekend.  It's to raise awareness for the internment camps in Nothern Uganda, Africa.  They both are excited to go.  I'm slightly concerned about three thousand college kids crammed into a city park.  I have visions of Woodstock....I'm sure it'll be fine....I'll just keep away from the brownies.

Last night my husband and I went out with David & Kevin for St Patricks Day.  We went to Edna's, then the Red Dog (my first time) and to Hawaiian Don's.  I have to say thank you to the guys for letting me tag alone.  I had a really good time even though I stayed completely sober all night.  Michael was lit, far worse than I've seen him in a long time.  Next time I go, Michael will be the designated driver an it'll be my turn, but I promise I won't always go.  So you guys can get really wild.  Thanks again!

I took the last 2 days off work to be at home for the plumber.  We have had multiple "issues" with out plumbing that could be put off no longer.  The cold water in the kitchen trickled to a stop, so there was no water on the fridge, and the cold water cycle on the washing machine takes like 5 hours due to the low water pressure.  Additionally, the original hall bathroom toilet will flush, but drains so slowly, we stopped using it.  The plumbers came out and fixed everything except the washing machine.  Turns out that problem is the machine itself.  But we have everything else fixed.  We had saved a bunch of money for all this, but it was only $707.51.  YEAH!!!!!!  I highly reccomend Groom's plumbing!!!!!  Now we will use the rest of the saved money to buy a washer & dryer this weekend.   Oh the joys of home ownership.

Here's a picture of my tattoo.  It started as just the bird, a phoenix, and DJ at Undisputed (in OKC) added the rest about a year ago.  I love the color and movement he added.  Okay, it's just one tattoo, but it's HUGE.  BTW...I look like a librarian, so no one suspects that I have it.  It's my little secret...

I've been redecorating Michaela's room.  I am going with a Parisian chic decor.  I'm hoping it won't have to be changed for a few years so it may be more sophisticated than usual for a 7 year old, but I really don't want to re-do it again for several more years.  So the room is painted a creamy yellow, with white woodwork, and everything else will be black, white & pink.  So I painted her dresser, it's from the 30's (I think) but it's dainty, so it works.  And I reupholstered a chair that my grandmother gave me.  It's a slipper chair and I covered it in a black on white toile with black piping.  I think it looks really sharp.  I still have to figure out the arrangement of the furniture & get the accessories in place, but so far, it looks really good.
