Happy St. Patrick's Day!
In honor of my birthday I'm heading to the beach in a couple hours. Yes, that's been a bit of a theme lately. I'm going to a restaurant/bar/pool thing near the beach with a couple girlfriends, then tonight Ibis and I are going out for sushi. Yum.
This blog will return to normal tomorrow!
A little about me
I "roughed it" in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for three years with my (now ex) husband while we waited for his US visa. Well, we didn't really rough it -- we had running water & glass in the windows, but it was really hot.
He was denied in September 2009 & I returned to Michigan in February 2010, and while our story ended there, mine continues at Hoosblog and my dog, Owen, is documenting his life on Instagram.
I'm no longer posting to this blog, but I'm leaving it online so you can read about our journey. Check out the links under Posts That Explain Things to get the basics, or the tags at the bottom for specific categories.

Hope it's a good one
Your birthday is on St. Patrick's Day? That is the coolest! My dad's birthday was on St. Patrick's Day, too!
Happy Birthday, Melanie!
Yes, I've worn green every birthday. They don't seem to care as much down here but I did notice quite a few tourists wearing it last night. :)
