Happy St. Patty's Day!!

My friends and I celebrated Saturday night. We went to a dinner/auction sponsored by the Knights of Columbus at the Cathedral. Then we went to a local hot spot that was featuring a "famous" DJ for a dancing party. It was so much fun! I actually didn't feel old for one whole evening! Here's the highlights:

* I bought a new dress for the event. On a lark, entered a store I never shop in and found something "young and hip." Of course it was - it was from a store the girls shop in! But what a deal - only $22.50! I stayed right on budget...

* Since the dress was so cheap, I also bought a cute little sweater and new shoes. I blew the budget...

* I was attending the dinner/auction with a good friend of mine as his "date." First stop when we got there - to Father O'Kibby's Pub (although Father was a patron, not the bartender!). Jimbo [my friend] didn't even offer to get me a drink! And they were free!! Not off to a great start. Will definitely have to give Jimbo some pointers on how to act around the ladies. No wonder he's still single!!

* Bid on [and won] ballroom dancing lessons. My whole group went in on it together... should make for an interesting blog later!

* The next party was outside, but under a tent. It had been raining all week. I won't go into the gory details - I'm sure you can picture the mess created by way too many people crammed into way too small a space. New shoes may be a casualty of the night...

* The DJ at the last party ROCKED!! It was like he went into my personal collection and played only my favorite songs that I forgot about ever loving [80's and 90's]. We danced for 3 hours straight - and hated to see it end. Didn't make for keeping my cute hair in place, but what a workout!

* The final count: general compliments - 2, compliments on my dress - 4, compliments from boys younger than me - 2!! [See, I told you I wasn't old that night!] I'd call that a successful evening all the way around!

What fun... I have the best friends! Coming soon - NKOTB in Nashville!!!
