Oh Danny boy!

I just got back from my visit in Pittsburgh w/ Ben, Andy, Warren, Colin, Jamie, Brett and the whole pittsburgh gang! Warren had all of us stay at his house in the lovely neighborhood of greenfield! When I left florida it was about 65 degrees with a forcast of 80 for the whole weekend; when I landed in Pittsburgh it was a frigid 30 degrees and snowing. The vacation started out with us "forcing" warren to buy a brand new 32 inch flat panel tv so we could watch March Madness;) A trip to the beer store was in order and then the 28-inch pizza...yes, we do it big in Pittsburgh;) Then the arrival of 50 pink flamingo's in warren's front yard (punishment for lieing to ben and I during our visit in sept) We then got to meet Warren's girlfriend Erin, who was totally awesome!!!! Friday it snowed alllllllll day long!!!!! Apprently, we were in the middle of a snowstorm moving through the northeast. So there we were two floridians and a bunch of people from cali stuck in the snow:) we all hung out, got breakfast at Alana's down the street, and then went to the symphony at the magnificent Heinz hall. Heinz all was orginally a hotel, then a movie house, and then in 1971 turned into the home turf of the wonderful Pittsburgh Symphony. The symphony was awesome dispite my error in bringing my cute opened toed shoes. We then picked up more beer (there is a theme here) and watched super troopers (Erin's first experiance w/ the boys). After a 12 pack of beer and a mini-keg we all hit the sack and got some much needed rest before St. Patricks day. Warren woke us up at 8am (too damn early) to go to Jenny's house for Irish breakfast. However, he only succeded getting Ben, Erin, and I up for the adventure. After breakfast our adventure began, we "walked" to the parade (3mi from jenny's house) in 28 degree weather after being promised we were taking the bus. We got to the parade with thousands of drunk irish folk just in time to see Erin and her family in the parade. We then went back to the house to warm up, go get warren a tattoo (which didn't work out), watch some b-ball, and make our way to dinner at an Euthopian resteraunt. I have never been to an Euthopian resteraunt so I was a little timid at first but once I walked in and smelled the delighful aromas I knew this was going to be an excellent dinner. I tasted much like Indian food with lots of spice however, the entire meal was eaten without utensils (my kind of dinner) oh and we got to bring our own wine. 4 bottles of wine later we trecked back out into the cold to get ready for Warren's St. Patrick's day party. After a lovley conversation with Beth, the beer was a flowing, and JT was on the stereo (its amazing how 4 nagging girls can accompolish this in a room full of boys) We danced the night away with beer and whisky, like the good Irish people we are;) The next day we were all on our plane back home:( I had such an awesome time!!!! I LOVE YOU PITTSBURGH!!!!

Day O'Shelby

The past two days I have not been feeling well due to the yellow pollen falling from the sky. I had a hair appointment this morning and nothing makes me feel better like getting pampered:) Then I went to the eye doctor to get new contacts, glasses, and an annual eye exam. So new hair, new eyes, and now I'm feeling better:) I'm excited about getting new glasses and this time I will make sure they don't look like Matt's so another "drunken" incident doesn't result in my glasses getting streched out:)

One week from today I will be in Pittsburgh!!!! Yay!!! a mini-vacation!!!!!! I due believe this vacation will also make me feel better since I've been a little overwhelmed since coming back from the holidays.

So a little pampering, a vacation to look foward too, and sunny 70 degree weather have made this day oh so wonderful! yay for the day o'Shelby:)

side note: my quals are scheduled for early august...and I'm not talking about it!!!
