St. Patrick's Day and Snow Days

Okay I know it's been awhile since St. Patrick's Day

But I haven't had a chance to post about my adventures on that day

My boyfriend and I went up to Chicago to stay with my cousins to experience the green river

Oh, and partake in some green beer drinking

Which I did not

Because all the beer they drank was gross

So I stuck to my cranberry and vodka

We started at 8 am on Saturday and ended at 2:30 am on Sunday

We did take a 2 hour nap during that time

It was suppose to be a 30 min nap but that did not happen

We drank a lot of alcohol and ate some Chicago style pizza .. even though I dislike pizza .. a lot

The Big Ten tournament was also going on, so naturally the boys wanted a picture

We woke up to mimosas and breakfast being made by my cousin at 8 am

We were out the door by 9 and on our way to our first of many bars

There we each had one drink and went to meet my uncle at another bar

My uncle and I both had a cranberry and vodka at the next bar

Mine was dark red, his was pretty much clear...

Then we went to eat at the pizza place Giordanos (I don't think I spelled that right)

And then went home for our 30 min turned into a 2 hour nap

At 6 we were back out on the streets doing some more bar hoping

And that lasted until 2:30 am 

We ended up at a karokee bar with my uncle and his co-workers

They are all over 50

This bar had no one over the age of probably 25 in it..

It was a sight

I successfully woke up without a hangover on Sunday

 I was pretty proud of myself

Then the other day we got a lot of snow

And by a lot I mean 16.5 inches

Which never happens here

My school even called in a snow day

The top two right pictures are Ethan in the dog kennel and dog bed

He thinks he is a dog or something...

Who knows with that child

But I promise we do not lock him in there for fun

Then the bottom left picture is my boyfriend being sick

And me being an awesome girlfriend taking care of him

Oh and I've been super busy with school and life and I promise after this semester is over (less than a month) I will be the blogger I know I can be :)

Cooking and Why I Don't

I would love to cook

I would love to be one of those Betty Homemakers that know how to cook everything

From scratch

Like Julia Childs

But let's face it

I am not, nor will I ever be, Julia Childs

According to my uncle I "burn rice"

Pshhh yeah whatever

I can make some kick ass cereal

Oh, and mac n cheese

Although one time I didn't have milk so I used water

NEVER DO THAT

It was awful

So why can't I cook?

Let me tell you why

It's complicated

Yeah, I get that there are instructions

But seriously, who reads directions anymore?

It takes too long

By the time it's done cooking, I'm over it

I don't want to eat it anymore

So why waste my time?

And why are women expected to cook?

Explain to me why men think the woman needs to do the cooking

Umm... wrong

Whoever I marry will be cooking 

Or will be rich enough for me to hire a chef

Because homegirl ain't cooking

You wouldn't want to eat burnt food every night would you?

Didn't think so

That is all.

I Legitimately Suck

It has been like a month since I have last posted

Time just slips away from me

This semester has been insaneeee

And I just keep forgetting to post

Shame on me, I know I know

But I also know you are all dying to know what I have been doing for the past 3 weeks!

My life has been crayyy cray these past couple weeks

From celebrating a friends 21st, to a baby shower, to a hockey game and Supercross

I don't sleep

And it's okay because it is all totally worth it

(Until I'm super crabby because I haven't had any sleep, then people hate me)

 

There is my life since February 9 summed up in a few (or a lot) picture collages

I promise I will be more posty from now on

Things should start to slow down now

I hope everyone had an awesome month of February!
