Happy St Patrick's Day!

Last summer I married this green eyed, half(ish) Irish, boy...

Duh, Allison, we know you got married! Thanks :) Anywhoodle, that means that this St Patrick's Day is my first St Patrick's Day as an Irish person (by marriage)!

Pretty sure I'm wearing more green than he is today...

Did you marry into any fun holidays?

I Have an Interwebs Shopping Problem

Thanks to One Kings Lane, Rue La La, and Gilt Group I have an interwebs shopping addiction. Most the time I just skim the email and see if there is a designer I recognize, but I always check One Kings Lane.

Here's a sampling of some things I've purchased from One Kings Lane in the past year...

R Nichols Notecards, Salt & Pepper Shakers, Nesting bowls, Danica Studio's Tea Towels

From Rue La La, I've purchased a pair of pink Puma running shoes for my honeymoon and sexy bra and matching panties... but can't find those pictures. Today, I bought these Charles David "Souffle" Berry Patent Flats.

From Gilt, my site I've been a member of the longest, I've only recently started making purchases. In the past 5 months I've bought...

Wish I was at home so I could tell you who makes the bowl and toaster, sorry. The cookbooks are A Return to Cooking by Eric Ripert & Michael Ruhlman and Frank Stitt's Southern Table. I can't wait for April, when I have the whole month off from school and I can actually read them and perhaps even cook something! P.S. I also purchased a kitchen scale from Gilt too!

Today, from Gilt, I bought this Vera Wang Bridesmaid dress to wear to the (at least) 4 weddings I have coming up this summer.

See I have a problem! Today I purchased two things in a matter of 30 minutes. Perhaps for Lent I should have given up interwebs shopping?

Do you purchase a lot of things from the interwebs?

Do you need help with your addiction?

Adventures in Dining Out: Battista's Hole in the Wall

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know I went to Las Vegas this past weekend. If you don't follow me on Twitter... are you on Twitter? Yes. What the eff man? Anywhoodle, one of my favorite places to go in Vegas is Battista's Hole in the Wall. Haven't heard of it? Don't worry, most people I talk to haven't because isn't exactly "on the strip", it's behind it. More specifically, it's behind the Flamingo, all shady like, next to a liquor store.

In this picture I am the only one under 6 foot and doesn't have a name that starts with "J"

Battista's is tasty and probably one of the best deals you will get in Vegas. I don't know if you know this, but eating in Vegas is Price-eeee! At Battista's ALL dinners include Minestrone Soup or Italian Salad, Garlic Bread, Pasta Side, Homemade Cappuccino and FREE TABLE WINE!

We got both white and red table wine because we had four people.

Jane is the only one who didn't say, "Mozzarella!" when the waiter taking our picture told us to... smart woman.

This is not my picture because I failed at being a blogger this weekend and took a total of about 5 pictures, but this is what the menus look like posted around the restaurant. The couple times I've been I try to stay in the $22.95 section and get the eggplant or lasagna... both are very good. This time was no exception, our table ordered...

One of these...

Canelloni (Meat)

and one of these...

Eggplant Parmegiana

and two of these...

Lasagna

We also got a side order of meatballs, but got Italian Sausage instead...

They did bring us our meatballs, but I thought the Italian Sausage was tastier.

After the meal we were beyond stuffed.

But our wallets were happy :) and Clint still thought I was sexy ;-)

Actually, he looks rather disinterested doesn't he? Well at least the Hubs still loves me!

What is your favorite "Hole in the Wall"?
