Happy St. Patrick�s Day!
Although I have not a drop of Irish blood in me, I still celebrated the day with the wearing of some green. Too bad I couldn�t have started my day with an Irish Coffee.
Mmm� Irish Coffee�
If I lived closer to my parents I�d have been there for dinner this evening. My mother always makes corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty�s Day. It�s very yummy.

Today would have been my Grandpa Joe�s 91st birthday. Happy Birthday, Gramps! I love and miss you.

The new Star Wars game is sucking up way too much of my free time. I haven�t done a stitch of housework since Sunday. Well, I actually tidied up the dining room table and the coffee table yesterday when I came home for lunch, but I still need to vacuum, do the dishes, clean the bathroom, tidy up the guest room and so on.
Can�t blame Star Wars tonight for not getting anything done, though. Went to my hairdresser after work and got some dark red highlights. By the time I got home it was almost time for The OC so I heated up some leftovers from last night and got settled in. Spoiler alert � if you haven�t watched tonight�s episode, stop reading! I have to say as much as Alex�s jealousy has been pissing me off the past couple of episodes, when she and Marissa hugged towards the end of tonight�s episode I cried. It doesn�t look like they�re going to try to work it out. Part of me is sad about this, but part of me wants Marissa back with Ryan. Can�t have it both ways. Or can we? Not likely. Aaaaand, judging from the highlights of next week�s show, it doesn�t look like Julie�s blackmailer is leaving quietly.
The Porn Identity. Bwahaha! Now that�s funny.

D and I are going away next weekend. He�s playing in a chess tournament. This particular tournament is always held on Easter weekend. I�ve never been able to figure out why it�s on Easter weekend. Anyway, the woman at work (L) who lives very close to us is going to house-sit/cat-sit for us while we�re gone, so I want the place spotless by next Thursday. D�s heading down to our destination on Thursday but I�m not going until Friday after work. So, if L isn�t working her 2nd job next Thursday evening she�s going to come over and watch The OC with me. It�s a win-win situation � she can�t stand her roommates and is looking forward to being away from them for the final weekend she has to live with them, and we�re happy to have someone here to watch the cats while we�re away. I�m hoping she�ll be able to house-sit/cat-sit for us again when we go on vacation in July. She just got a new apartment and is moving in the first weekend of April. I went and checked it out with her when she saw it for the first time. It�s a cute place. Very cozy and comfortable.

After much gnashing of teeth and ripping out of hair, we managed to land a pair of tickets for one � count it, ONE � Red Sox game this summer. And it just happens to be on my birthday! I�m praying to the pitching gods now that the lineup will allow my man to be on the mound that evening. They�re playing the Devil Rays. Feh. Playing the D�Rays won�t be much fun without Pedro. Oh well, I�m just happy we�ll be getting to at least one game this summer. I�d love to make it to an O�s game. Even thought about driving to Baltimore for a game but it�s around an 8 hour drive from here. No. Thank. You. Maybe when I�m retired.
I�m holding out hope that we�ll score some more tickets soon.

I haven�t had coffee since last Friday. It�s been difficult not stopping at the coffee shop on my way in to work every morning. I�ve noticed that my heart palpitations have stopped, though. Wonder if my system just doesn�t want coffee anymore. If so, that seriously sucks.
Okay, that�s enough for me for tonight. Time for bed. Thanks for stopping in. Have a great night! :-)
