Thank god tomorrow is Friday!

I don't know about you but I feel like this weekend just can't come fast enough.  Work was crazy... I felt like no matter what I did or said this week was good enough.  No matter how hard I worked on improving I just received rejection for anything and everything.  I know, I know... We don't live in a world that everyone gets A's all the time but I spent two months working on a project when I wasn't crazy busy with my main job for it to be outright rejected by my boss.  As unprofessional as crying at work is.  I won't lie and say I didn't tear up.  I worked every trick in the book not sit at my desk and cry.  

To top that off, Hubby and I got into a big fight.  Well, Let me rephrase.  I fought he just looked at me, not really knowing what to say.  I can't even say it is really his fault and it wasn't like we had some horrible crisis go on.  Trust me, we have had much worst fights.  It was just the perfect storm.  Crappy day at work and Crappy day at home.  I just wanted him to appear more on board.

See, we are supposedly starting to look at houses.  That was our compromise....   We won't move out of state (like I want to do but he would rather not) but we will start to seriously think about buying a house.   However, since making that compromise, I feel like I am dragging him along to do the things that are needed for house hunting and such.  Look, I don't want to push him into a house, he says that he wants to look for a house but his actions are telling me that he doesn't.  And if that is the case, then I don't want to be the driving force here.   I want it to be a joint effort where we both have fun with this.  But it is turning into a stressful mess, so I have decide that from now on I'm not doing anything till he is ready to move on it.  So basically he has to make the first move.  It is like Dating all over again.  I just have to remember to giggle and bat my eyes lashes. But seriously until then, I'm in a holding spot.   Because we are a partnership and I'm not doing this without my partner. So until then my dream is just going to have to wait a bit.  *Sigh,  I'm not good at the whole patience thing.*

What are you guys doing for the weekend?

Last Night.

Well, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day...  And many of us in the United States believe that it is just a national holiday to get wasted, there is a whole history behind that day but I can understand why many people don't understand it because while I sat in church.  (it is a holy day.)  The priest didn't mention it at all but remember to ask that we follow the dictates of the church in it wisdom in protecting the family life.  *Sigh*... but that is not what I wanted to talk about... Because we all know how I feel on that.  Ok, One side note.  If you are against the right of choice for a women in abortions and you are against birth control.  What options do you leave women.  ok but really I'm done... 

So since it was St. Patrick's Day, we had some of our dearest friends come over.  And it is amazing how 8 very different people can get together and have a blast! (I had a blast... I hope they all did as well. )  I just had an amazing time... it was so much fun getting to talk to everyone.  Everyone is in such different spots in their lives but yet, we all have stuff to talk about.  I wish we could all get together more often but am completely grateful for when I do get to see them.  What a fun night.  Lots of great food and fun drinks.  What fun drinks you ask well, here you go!  Simply amazing.  My dear friend Lauren makes these drinks that frankly I go crazy over...  What's a girl not to love about them.  Ice Cream, Chocolate, and some alcohol..  yum yum!


Lauren's Yumtastic Green Grasshopper.
1 tub of Green Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
1  bottle of Creme de Mint
1 bottle of Creme de Coco.

It is a really simple to make but frankly in my mind that just makes it that much better.  So she puts 4-5 scoops of Ice cream. 4 shots of cream de Mint and 2 of cream de coco.   This makes about 4 Servings for pure yummyness in a glass.  It is great way to have both dessert and a yummy drink at home.  Feel free to try them for yourself!  But please note... they are not low fat at all! :)
