So i pretty much always park in the same spot every day at work. And the other day wheN I lef (and i have to admit it was a stressful day but still) I walked to where I ususally park and tried to unlock my doors and it wouldn't unlock. And i tried and tried for a few minutes getting really frustrated before realizing....

I had parked in a different spot that day and my car is blue and hatchback and this was a little red sporty car. Yes it took me like 5 minutes during which it did not even click it was not my car b/c I am so automatic just walk to my spot...i'm not proud but it is kinda funny don't'cha think?

24 hours till st pattys day parade and Ho-Town ! YAY!

Super excited about the parade SUnday except that my green pants might be a wee bit tight. (like i used wee like the leprauchans say). Anywho i guess i hsould stop eating for the next few days to fit in them though that is unlikely as i already have had like 6 meals today and might go for waffle fries and cheese tonight!

So me and my friend Rachelle have really been wanting to go to Bob's Branch Office which is a bar in Kenmore that I swear is only open like during the day for the real hardcore people. We also have been wanting to go to Del Denby s on Hertel. They both just seemed like interesting places. So with that start we made a list of different places we wanted to go on a weeknight to experience the regulars experience. It was not as interesting as we thought it would be but a fun night all in all, here is a little review of what we did.

We started at 7pm:
Bob's Branch Office: closed! not a good start! how sad! we will have to take a day off of work and go there one afternoon!

Mitchell's Beef and Barrel (or something like that). It is on Grand Island Blvd perhaps or Sheridan, like by Sheridan Park area. Anywho so we go there and we are the only patrons. WE order a captain and coke and a vodka soda and bubble gum shots. Not too expensive but the drinks are measured which is never a good thing. We only stay for the one drink and when we are leaving a few other people walk in.

Next we were going to Pokey Joes on like near Grant Street, I think on Austin. On the way there we see a bar called NiteCap once again I believe on like Sheridan ext/grand island blvd. It had a martini glass on the sign so it must be classy. That place was more what we were looking for. It was pretty crowded with an older crowd. Our drinks were like 4 dollars for the 2 and they were ok. They don't have any fruit though to put in the drinks cuz as the bartender said "it just goes bad". The bartender there tried to get this one lady to finish the bottle of crown and she's like oh no i never could, and three shots later, yeah lets say she did it. Oh and they had one of those machines wher eyou can win stuffed animals which i thought was an interesting to have there at a bar.

Next up was Pokey Joes, but unfortunately just like Bob's Branch it was closed. Not sure if it is closed for good or was closed for the night. So we headed to our next stop

Skyway Tavern on Niagara Street. It was actually kinda nice inside tough they had a liimited selection of alcohol. The bartender was a larger huge breasted older lady who was definitely on some kind of something, I'll be hopeful and guess cold medicine. She was sooo out of it. It was incredibly complicated for her to make a vodka tonic and captain and coke. She had to ask one of the patrons where the captain was. She was basiclaly completely popping out of her shirt and we believe she fell at one point and noone reacted even one bit, like oh it happens all the time. Some converstaions we overheard included, the one friend who is in jail again, and one man ordered "the best schnapps you got", is there a best schnapps? we definitely decided we had to move on but would stop back there on the way back.

So then we headed off to the Pink. We both have been there many times before but we wondered what it was like at like 830 instead of 3am. IT was quiet and not too busy and the bartender kinda completely ignored us. I had to pee here and unfortunately as most of you know , it is prolly the grossest bathroom in all bars in buffalo.

So then it was off to Hertel. First stop Checkers which is up closer to Main Street. It had a little crowd and the bartender who I am tihnking might alos be the owner was suuuper friendly and nice. Unfortunately it smells like urnial/toilets, it makes Cathode smell like flowery goodness. I would go there again .

Then we went to Del Denbys, one we were super excited about. The bartender there was really nice. There was a man passed out on the bar with a beer, a mixed drink and a shot laid out in front o fhim. I guess he never got to drinking them before he fell asleep on the bar. It didn't turn out as great as we thought but it was good. Here as everywhere else we thought there would be more people out. I know it was wednesday but it was a sabres game and the first home game post olympics, we thought isn't that when like regular local bars are filled ?

So then we went to Shadow to meet up with Rachelle's boyfriend. That is more a like regualr bar with young people and sorta classyness well not classy but more like bar/club seeting than like corner bar. Justin taught me how to be tough and make "i'm gonna kill you faces" but I tihnk they were ruined by my use of spirit fingers while making them.

Sooo after Shadow we went to get waffle fries and nacho chips and cheese at ETS which hoepfully is not all over my car right now cuz we might have spilled some. SO then we tried to go back to Skyway to make sure the bartender survived the night but alas it was closed at that time. OOh we also tried to go to Sensationz in Riverside, but that was closed too..

SO al lin all it was a fun night but not exactly what we expected. we will have to do it on a night when there are more people out. We want to meet and chat with the people who hang out at these bars all the time. I really believe though that SKyway Tavern could become my new favorite hangout!!!!

Yesterday was my 9 year old godchild and her brother's bday party. I always seem to find really good gifts for her that she really likes. Everyone is like how do you find such great things! My cousin jenny figured me out though, I have a mind very much like a 9 year old girl so i look around for something I really want but can't really buy for myself and get that! It works like a charm!
