green is the new black

i finally got my shamrock shake! woo-hoo!

we took the mollydog for a much-needed bath yesterday, and on the way back from picking her up, i took a chance and pulled into the mcdonald's drive-thru. and lucky for me, instead of this:

i simply found this:

look, all green and minty and creamy (a word i typically find rather abhorrent, but appropriate for occasions such as this):

and i was a happy camper.

even the dog got in on the green action. the groomers got her all ready for st. patty's day:

when we went upstairs, the bean got curious about the cup i was holding.

"hey, whatcha got there, mom?"

"hmmm. well, i'll give it a shot."

"oooh, that's pretty good!"

"i wonder what the cup tastes like."

once she got her fill of shamrock shake, she settled in her bouncy seat and relaxed for a while. new moms, don't get rid of this thing after your baby grows out of it. you might find that it comes in handy as a lounge chair later on. heh.

last night's dinner was yummy. i had the pork tenderloin marinating in the fridge overnight, and i served it with some almond green beans and rice pilaf. the hub was very appreciative.

and tonight, for the VERY first time, we're going to have leftovers for dinner. this is huge, people - the wans don't typically do leftovers. i hope it all tastes as good as it did the first time 'round.

cross your fingers.
