Thank goodness for Victoria

I'm alive, I swear. =) Thank goodness for Victoria as I have clearly neglected this blog thus far in 2011. Shame on me. Here's a quick recap:

Let's start with St. Patrick's Day, because let's face it, the Irish New Year really begins on March 18th. The celebration was a huge success starting with a pub crawl down 3rd Ave the Saturday before. Several new friends were made and plenty of $1 beers were consumed. The actual blessed day was spent with Guinness and March Madness and I could not have been happier. (Oh, and it was sunny and warm!)

Work is going beautifully, I am absolutely loving the position and the people and am so thankful for the opportunity to really push myself. This is exactly what I came here for. Although most days are 10 hour days, hence the lack of blogging, it feels good to work hard and get something out of it.

Easter, a success with candy filled with candy filled eggs for the girls at the restaurant and between Michaela (Irish) and Regina (Russian) I learned a lot about Easter traditions. Did you know that the Irish have a picnic and roll their decorated eggs down a hill?....Seems like quiet the mess. At least we pick all of ours up after we hide them. Here in New York, this was my favorite Easter find.

Don't ask why it is sideways.....


The best news I have though, is that I have a new NIECE!!!! Bailey Lorraine was born on April 22nd. 9lbs 4oz. 21.5". Mom and baby are healthy and happy!! So exciting!!
Again my apologies for the angel. (From the top) my nephew Peyton, Bailey, my mom Joan

Weekends and I have been in a fight lately. It all started when I started picking up a shift here and there at the restaurant. Then Weekends lashed out with rain and cold weather. I am working on forgiving Weekends but it is hard when it insists on being stubborn and always throwing thunder in my face. I am hoping to reconcile at the end of this week with a mandatory Sunday Funday.

In summery....all is well and I will try to write more often.
