BIG....HUGE

This week is a very exciting week for me:

The University at Albany Great Danes (be very intimidated...) are the 13th seed and will be playing Virgina on Friday. At 12:45pm on Friday, I will be sporting my latest UA sweatshirt (over my suit) at the pub down the block from my office with Elissa. It's a big game for Albany ....and seeing as it is playing in the middle of the day on a weekday...it is obviously an important game for the rest of the country as well...

Yesterday we painted our living room....herbal mist...and it's glorious. We demolished the old couch and chair and painted....all in preparation for another big event this week....

The arrival of our new couch! We ordered from the Grace Collection at Crate and Barrel (in case you were wondering...) and it is beautiful...and will look glorious in our living room...especially with the herbal mist wall.

Tomorrow I'm attending my first professional hockey game. Originally I found this to be intimidating but one of my friends told me that I get to drink beer and yell at the players...much like I do at football games...so I should be okay. ....Provided I'm not the poor soul who gets hit in the face with a puck... because we all know my luck.

Speaking of luck!.....Saturday is the big day that all of America looks forward to...and the day when every American is....IRISH! It just so happens that it is also Payal's birthday... so, in honor of these momentous occassions not only occurring on the same day...but on a Saturday (!)... we have decided to start our day bright and early and do a pub crawl for as long as we can make it. Somehow....I'm not sure how exactly (probably because I was drunk when it happened)... I promised Payal that I would wear an Irish Cheerleading outfit on this day as well...if she could find it. So if anyone sees a crazy drunken cheerleader aimlessly wandering the streets on Saturday feel free to say hi!!
