Birthday Weekend

Well it is official folks, after 4 days of celebrating Natalia and Casey, I am deffinately worn out. Nat started at Bullwhackers on Wednesday (I was still at home recovering from the cold I got on Sunday). But come Thrusday I was out celebrating Natalia and her 24 years on earth in full force. We started at Haps on Thursday, Friday went to the Rialto and Bullwhackers, and Saturday we started off the afternoon with some cocktails, and some boardgames, then we went out with the Birthday Bitch (Natalia) and the Birthday Boy (Casey) and the Party Posse (myself, Amanda, and Katie) followed. A wonderful weekend all in all! Again I was the historian....enjoy:

EPIC Paddy's Day

Clemtalia and Crew had an EPIC Paddy's day. Started at the Firehouse with Good Whiskey, an Irish car bomb, and a few tasty beverages. Then moved on to Jorgies where we collected our personal decorations, and had a bit of EJ's famous Irish Stew and Irish Punch. Found our way to our favorite Thursday hang out...Hap's...did a little Irish jig, had some great late nights eats provided by Fuzz (the best bartender ever) Then Nataliatine managed to get downtown, hit up the bars there, then ended the night with some late night calls.

All in all the craic was great and couldn't have been better!

Enjoy the pics:

Senate/House Basketball

It was a tough game....Senate had a few fouls some dodgey dealings, and even with the house buying votes, the Senate seemed to pull out ahead and take the trophy. GO SENATE!

Technical Error

So there are no photos as bloggerbot wouldn't upload the photos last night....so hopefully I'll be able to upload the photos tonight and get this thing up to date! I like the photo thing....It gives you all a little glimpse of my life verbally and visually.

A little behind

Since I am not at home very often I haven't had the chance to update the blog all too much. And I know my ever waiting fans just can't get enough. So today my post will consist of the last week of events...Mansfield-Metcalf dinner, Senate/House basketball game, and the ever important Paddy's Day!

Enjoy!

Legislative Train Ride

After a day of t-shirts and capris, the next morning was perfect for the Legislative train ride. It had snowed all day, and the scenery was outstanding. Couldn't have been a better day!


the view!

Life is...

Good! I was able to decompress this weekend, having 6 days off from work. It was nice. I did a girls night at Fairmont, where we went to the Washoe theatre and then we met up with the boys and went to Elkhorn Hot Springs. Both were lovely, even with the 2 hour delay of getting stuck in 2 feet of snow and having to wait for the nice snowmobiling to get us help. We got out eventually only to get another car stuck. But those Geniuses from Butte topped it all driving their truck into the ditch and having to have it towed out using a little back hoe. Crazy! But I was able to sleep 18 hours at a go and partake in Daddy's medicine. I'll get pics up soon....just have to download them first.

Good times had by all!
