    We used to have two cats but we had to get rid of them because of spraying/jealousy issues with the baby. It was a tough choice but now that we are pet free I don't think we will have any in the future because we enjoy the freedom that no pets allow us. I love cats and enjoy visiting friends that have them and cuddling them.

    St. Patrick's Day is kinda my favorite holiday... haha. I LOVE IT! And I'm really hoping that Randy doesn't have to work late tomorrow night so I can see him (it's been nearly two weeks and I'm in withdrawl... haha) AND so we can get green beer! Beer just tastes better when it's green, haha.

    As for am I Irish. Hmmm... red hair, green eyes, pale skin... definitely Irish :P I'm actually about half Irish and half German, with a tad bit of English thrown in. But my family definitely identifies with the Irish side. My sister actually Irish dances competitively (she's 20 now, and still does it). I'll be all decked out in green and wearing my Irish jewelry. Just crossing my fingers that I don't have to venture out by myself to celebrate. If Randy has to work, I'll probably postpone it until we can go out Saturday, most bars around here do stuff the weekend closest to St. Patrick's Day too.

    QOTD: Just to try to get the ball rolling again, here's a new QOTD - Do you plan on celebrating St. Pat's Day at all tomorrow? If so, what are you doing? And, are you actually Irish?

    Well I am part Irish probably about 1/5. Tomorrow I will be wearing my green shirt I got at my 5k last weekend. That is when I celebrated as it was a 5k followed by an Irish wake. The 5k started at 9 and the Irish wake went until 12 so I was pretty toasted (drink and sunburned wise) by then. It was sooooo much fun.

    Hmm....We typically don't celebrate St. Patty's Day, but this year a good friend of mine is having a get together this weekend to celebrate. One of her good friends used to be engaged to a guy that lived in Ireland, and passed off a lot of traditions/customs to my friend. She always tries something new. I am actually 100% Dutch. Pretty boring. I don't even have the look. I'm definitely not tall, thin with blonde hair. The only thing I have going for me is the blue eyes. Otherwise, I'm short, chubby with dark hair lol. Oh well!

    Hey Random,
    My diet has gone to hell this past week since I went to FL. I haven't felt like cooking at all. The chicken hasn't even moved out of the freezer to dethaw. I need some new ideas for food.

    QOTD: What is your favorite recipe?

    QOTD:

    I think lately I'll have to go with chili! I finally figured out how to make it, i got a 2 gallon crock pot for Christmas and it's SO DARN EASY! I use a recipe from Hungry Girl but its pretty generic. A can each of kidney beans, black beans, sweet corn, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste (so much less sodium than tomato sauce or something and it makes it thicker), plus lean ground beef, onions, and some garlic and Emeril's Essence seasoning. Dump it all in and let it sit for 4 hours on high. Voila, dinner for 6 meals! That's how much that recipe usually makes me.

    I also enjoy tacos, but I haven't made those in a while.
