Friday Nite Happy Hour

I cannot even recall the last time I went out for any Happy Hour?? 

There is a group within the Pi Phi club called the "Young Alums", or those who still go out to bars every weekend :)  I decided to check it out, so I was at Rosie McCann's - obviously a pub-type bar - at 5:30pm, and had some drinks and apps.  I had a good time, and do enjoy these girls.  Of course they are all nice, and have diverse careers, and they all laugh at my jokes, which always gets an A+.  I cruised out at 9:30, which my mother reminded me was the time I usually left to go out back in the day.  Thanks, Felicia :)

I am the OLDEST young alum by like 5 years....hilarious.  They did think I was in my early 30's, but only because I am so immature.  Sorry about my crazy eyes - I tried to fix them, but no go.  I just look Special (Ed).

Oh, the bar is in this crazy outdoor upscale mall place called Santana Row.  Here is the link if you want to check it out.  Santana Row

Pi Phi Baby Bank




This is a piggy bank I painted for one of my sorority sisters who just found out she is pregnant.  Our sorority colors are wine and silver blue, and our symbols are arrows, angels and carnations.

I think this turned out pretty cute - I had purchased a bunch of these small banks at the $1 store, and they are eaily painted with acrylic paints, and then I applied lots of varnish to make it shiny.

.....and HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

New template

I felt the urge to change the color scheme of the blog today, so I did.  I can't believe how advanced this has gotten since I first started.  I remember printing out lines of code, and then trying to figure out how to get different colors in different places by inserting the proper color codes.  Most challenging.I would like to attach "tags" to the blog, to identify if it is a craft, story, birthday wishes, etc..  I'll check that out tomorrow :) 
I'm not sure if I am "feeling" this scheme yet, but it's the only one I went back to when looking at all the templates.
Later.
