Another spaghetti strainer...

At HomeGoods listening to a couple argue about strainers.
"honey, we already have 3or 4"
"but this one is specifically for spaghetti, that plastic one we have is not good on spaghetti"

lesson: Dont ever let myself get to the point of 3+ strainers or having to sell my hubby on a kitchen appliance.

What the heck am I doing in HomeGoods on a sunny Sunday afternoon?!

Happy St. Patrick's DAy!

The Chicago River turns green
every St. Paddy's Day, a tradition that
started in the 1960's*

While most people celebrate St. Patrick's Day with cornbeef and green beer, I spent mine in bed.

All day in bed.

I went out the night before, had one too many long island's and found myself with a slight headache on Saturday morning. It wasn't anything horrible, just slight. Once I started up the first episode via Netflix of this very similiar to Sex & the City show, I couldn't stop. The rain outside + my clean, crisp, warm bedsheets added to the excuse of staying in bed...all day! I don't know when the last time I've spent all day in bed was. I do know it was amazing though!
So while everybody celebrating the Irish in them, the closest I got to any Irish celebration was a green drinking glass full of water & green grapes. (Okay, so I had my cute green St. Patty's undies on too!)
