Captain, gin, vodka, oh my!
What would a Nashville Friday be without a Skinny Pirate keeping me company?
Kickin’ the weekend off with Captain.
After a few rounds on the patio, I moved inside and spread my liquor lovin’ wings to a cucumber gin martini, which turned out to be ultra tasty.
Who knew I liked gin? I live on the edge.
I greeted Saturday am with an adorable picture from my nephew in Iowa. He’s just crazy about this blog.
Supporting his Auntie CBXB!
My gal Coco spotted this clutch at a local Nashville boutique, Fire Finch. A little Alexander McQueenish, a little CBXB – but still $72 and out of my budget.
Diamonds and skulls are a girl’s best friend!
Ted spent the entire weekend enjoying the spring weather.
How much is that kitty in the window?
So much so, that he tried to break free from his ‘prison’ by busting through the screen.
Not so clever kitty.
I slipped on my pot-o-gold shoes and headed to the movies Saturday night.
Of course I did a little bar tending inside the theater…cocktails make movie going so much more fun!
Sneaky leprechaun.
Still thirsty after having to share my movie cocktail, we headed to get a nightcap at the Cheesecake Factory, where I always order the heavenly strawberry martini.
Is this heaven? No, it’s vodka.
St. Patty’s Day called for dazzling up my Glamingo in traditional Irish threads (and yes, I realize I’m a grown ass woman dressing a flamingo…nothing I can really say to this except that Teddy was thrilled to be relieved of holiday dress up duty this year).
Beach bird blessed with Irish luck.
A hike in the park proved no leprechaun sightings.
On the hunt for my pot of gold.
Parched after my 6 mile jaunt, I quenched my thirst with a green dream.
Trio of cheers!
Ted’s Uncle Elvis came in for a play date – and immediately took over Mr. Bear’s perch in the bathroom.
Color coordinating with zebra print.
My mom brought in a pre-birthday gift (PBG) to commence my celebration that I like to drag out the entire month of March.
Party time!
The cats could have cared less about one another once tissue from my gifts hit the floor.
Who cares about the other cat when there’s crinkly tissue?
We took our green party cocktails to the patio, enjoying the last bit of weather and weekend.
After all of the hoopla, Teddy spent the rest of his Sunday like this….
Pooped pussy.
And I did too!

Gimma those GOLD SHOES!!!! love!
I actually thought about you when I put them on! Ha! They are Jessica Simpson brand and ultra fabulous (but only when you get to sit for hours vs. stand on your feet. Definitely sitting shoes).
Hey, you got a new umbrella!! Go, Captain! I want to know what was in that green drink. It needs to be in my water bottle when I go for a hike {which is close to never}. And I am not one iota surprised your birthday is also in March. It just makes perfect sense! Happy birth month!
Look at you with your eagle eye!!!! Isn’t it funny our birthdays are so close? Mine is the 25th and I hate mine as much as you appear to hate yours! 🙂 I’ll post about the green dream, so as you can have a proper hike when you go next year. Hee hee!
I know I’ve said already, but I’ll say it again you look good with glasses and I love those gold shoes.
Girl – you know I’ll take compliments any time. Please keep them coming. My ego needs it. Thanks!!
Keep calm, and party on – I like that!
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!
