St. Patrick's Day

So today last year I met Wade. It wasn't a magical moment, really. I was downtown at a store called Shirts 'n' Stuff (I know, really original and creative), and my friend Emily and I were serving beer to people. It was just a two time thing (the owner has a storage unit at the place where I work, and asked if we wanted to help him out for the week). Wade and his friends walked in, and I recognized him from high school. We ended up talking for the majority of my 8 hour shift, and he was supposed to walk me to my car (I immediately trusted him, so I asked him if he would and he said yes) but didn't come back to get me in time and I didn't have his phone number.

I also got slapped on the butt by a guy in the Army who was totally trying to take me out for a drink while I was waiting for Wade to come back and get me. I was too shocked to retaliate or punch him in the face. I actually was very surprised and intrigued that he had enough guts to do it in public. But hey, that's St. Patrick's Day in Savannah.

This is me, today. I am wearing the same shirt I wore last year (not only because it's basically the only green shirt I have, but also for nostalgic purposes). I was at Walgreens visiting my friend Chris.

Today, to celebrate the day of our first meeting, I went to this new place called Gigi's Cupcakes in Savannah. It's actually a franchise and there are stores all over the country! If there is one near you, please try them out. The menu changes every day and the flavors are phenomenal! I ordered 4 cupcakes to share with Wade and his coworkers. I took a bite of each one, because I can't eat a whole cupcake.

The 4 cupcakes I chose to get (clockwise): Midnight Magic, Wedding Cake, Banana Nut Muffin, and Red Velvet. The red velvet was the best, even though I'm not a huge fan, and the midnight magic was incredible.

I took a bite of each one with a spoon. That was about all I could handle.

Tomorrow night, I will be going to a Fireman's Ball. The proceeds are donated to the MDA. I'm really excited, because I get to dress up and go have fun with my boyfriend and our friends... and I also get to ogle a whole bunch of firemen (I don't think anyone would pass up that opportunity).

Here is the dress I am wearing:

It's called the Center of Attention dress, and I ordered it from Modcloth. Currently, there are no more in stock (thank goodness I bought it in January!), but Modcloth has a load of great dresses to look at and buy.

I will also be wearing this sort of sweater thing. It's one of those button-up, short sleeve sweaters that cuts off at your natural waist. Honestly, it looks great with the dress, and I needed something to cover my shoulders. I originally bought navy heels to wear with the dress (that's the color of the pattern on the dress), but after careful consideration, I will be wearing a pair of nude peeptoes (they look better now that I have the sweater). 

The navy heels. They don't look very high in the photo, but they're about 3 inches which is plenty for me. I've worn them out before and they are the most comfortable heels ever! I like how simple they are.

These are the heels I will be wearing. I'm not a huge fan of the knot at the toe, but it will make do. Also, the different material on the heel is weird to me. I feel like they are just going to break if I step incorrectly (which happens a lot). They are comfortable, but I'm afraid they will break (like the heel really will snap off). Let's hope not.

In other news... I've been unfollowing a lot of people on Tumblr lately. Not only because they have gotten to a point of annoying that I can't handle, but because they're posting all these Harry Potter spoilers and I don't want the movie ruined for me. Also, they are so "jump down your throat" vicious. They jump on every bandwagon. And for them, the new fad is "being gay". I don't even want to get into that last point, because it really pisses me off. 

AND it's Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family. My favorite kind of weekend. Sorcerer's Stone is on right now and it's playing in the background. I love it. I just wish they had LotR weekends too... 

I hope everyone had a really great St. Patrick's Day (here, it's like a national holiday)!
