St Pattys Day & The Deadly Fishbowl...

Yowza! I can't believe March is half over already. T minus 12 days until my fashion show, giddy up! I've got 7 models, 2 photographers, 1 makeup artist and a hairstylist coming. Gotta love great people banding together to support a great cause and promote their businesses! The fundraiser raffle giveaway has turned into a major hassle - apparently I need approval from the NYS gaming board in order to run a raffle. Screw that, guess I'll just do a silent auction instead. I suspect it will be just as effective. Other than that, I just need to write what I'm going to say for the event (I'm the MC) and pick out music and everything will be ready to go! Overall, things are going great business'wise. I have some new business deals on the horizon, but it's too soon to go into detail just yet. I'm super grateful to have such amazing, inspiring people in my life who continue to believe in me and push me to go further. Suffice it to say, exciting things are happening! "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."

I decided to break out of my shell and live a little on St Patty's Day. My mom watched Dominic for most of the night while I went to a good friend's birthday/St Patty's Day bash and then out for some drinks. Lets just say a male dancer, old friends and a fishbowl full of liquor make for an interesting night! I'm glad I went out and had some fun, but it was also a good reminder as to why I don't drink excessively anymore. I sure don't miss the hangovers and I'd much rather spend the time with my little man. I think I'll be good on the party front until my NYC trip to see Nickelback next month.

I think (and hope) spring is finally here in NY. The last few days have been super nice (albeit a bit humid). Now that Dominic is getting old enough to actually go out and do some stuff, I can't wait to take him all over this summer. I'm seeing the beach, the zoo and the park in our very near future. He's developing such a cute personality. He's one of the most smiley babies I've ever seen and he's very animated. He just loves to hear himself talk and look at himself in the mirror. It amazes me the new things he picks up on a daily basis. I'm going to have my hands full when he starts walking, that's for damn sure. Watch out world - my little protege is a mini go-getter just like his mama!
