Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So, I finally have a blog....and I am finally posting on it. I figured with my Irish heritage, this would be a great way to pay homage, by posting an entry.

Now, what exactly should I write about? Fun facts I learned throughout the day, tasks I have done, things I am obsessed with currently (which my friends, is a lot), or just overall random thoughts? I think I am going to put all of that in here, with just a dash of funny....because I am funny.

Today is St. Patrick's Day! And I am celebrating accordingly. I have my green shirt and necklace on (super cute, of course), I tried to go to Ri Ra, the Irish Pub, for lunch however the wait was 30 minutes! So, we went and had all you can eat sushi, not Irish but delicious nonetheless. Tonight I am headed to the Bobcats game with my friend Sara and then going out to the always fun Epicentre in a green dress! Did you know that 82% of Americans wear green today? I sure hope you participated.

Today at work (I work for JDW: The Charlotte Agency, which is honestly the most fun place to work and keep your clothes on) I actually got some press coverage for BarCamp Charlotte 3....which, if you want to be a part of it PLEASE let me know, it's going to be awesome....also I learned how to do a marketing proposal for a company which is something I know nothing about until now. LOVE this place. Stay tuned for more fantastic work stories ;)

On another note, Sean and I found a condo uptown in Courtside that accepts pets; the last one we found wanted a $10,000 security deposit for our great dane! That's a car! So hopefully after today we will start the application process and be up there in April. Whoop!

There were two great danes walking around uptown today raising money for a Great Dane rescue society that had no central location, just all their dogs in foster homes. I told Sean we should do that with Zhapo, walk him around uptown with a satchel for people to donate to our great dane, honestly we could pay rent that way! I know, it's wrong, but only my blog followers will know right? ;) Kidding, I wouldn't do that....I am actually planning to volunteer at the place we got Zhapo once I am making a stable income and don't have to work weekends at the hotel anymore.

So now for my obsession of the day, well this has actually been like an 8 month obsession, but new to yall so here it is:


This is my DREAM car! Well, one of them, the other one I will post at a later date. I do love the new mustangs though and the new color....so what is your dream car, if money was no object??


On a side note....I didn't run today because it was too cold, so sadly I am not keeping up with my fitness goals as I had hoped, BUT it should be warm soon. Honestly though, does anyone LIKE running??

Until next time......
