Party time. Excellent.

The girls hosted a bachelorette party for me last night in Manhattan. It was so much fun to see everyone again and to hang in the 'Ville. I can't believe the wedding is 13 days away!

I think it was Wednesday of this past week that was National Talk Like a Pirate Day. As I was driving to work that day, I saw a pirate walking down the street. This pirate was decked out in all of the typical pirate gear, and he was carrying a gigantic Jolly Roger. It was quite the sight to see at 7:00 AM in Lawrence. Arrrrrrg.

I'm also super excited that the Geelong Cats made it the Grand Final (Australian equivalent of the Superbowl)! The big game is next weekend so I'll have to break out the jersey and sing the Geelong fight song. Too bad I can't find a meat pie slathered in tomato sauce to complete the celebration.
