"Spring Break"

I wish the term spring break meant what it used to... aka  no responsibilities for a week straight (or drinking obscene amounts of booze while partying like it's 1999 on a beach somewhere). Instead, this week it means no grad classes (and also some partying). I still have a luminous research paper hanging over my head (boo), but I don't have to show up to class and for that, I am celebrating! I kicked off my spring break on Friday with an at home "happy hour". Hubs and I poured the wine and cut the cheese!

Saturday, we celebrated St. Patty's day at a local Irish pub. There were just enough people, the perfect amount of sunlight, great company, plenty of drinks and a pipping band. It was awesome.

Yesterday we got out in the yard and played around in the sun did some yard work. It was so much fun! I'm sure the novelty of doing yard work will soon wear off, but for now, we had a blast. We cut the grass, planted some flowers, fertilized and planted an herb garden. We ended the weekend with a nice Sunday dinner (a tradition in our house).

We are also puppy sitting for our good friends Gina and John. Miss Polly has been a doll.

This week I will be continuing to hit the gym hard. I am determined to get it tight/get it right for Vegas!! We will be continuing the awesomeness of spring break in NYC for a long weekend visiting our friends Ariel and Ben.

I hope everyone had just as fun of a weekend!

Cheers!
