Key lime pie, green cupcakes, bagpipes at the Foggy Dew Irish Pub, and houses on the hill

I had to call Jon and Steph to tell them about something EPIC, haha. No, I am not pregnant - holy unexploded bombshell, Batman! Went to Karmie's soon after that - only Stella and I showed up, so we put off the study in favor of talking about baking / cooking / parenting / nephews / kids / clothing / key lime pie and food coloring / green frosting on cupcakes / hockey tournaments in Summerland and the snow up there / Scottish bagpipes / SUPERSIZE ME / Chicken McNuggets / the beach / swimming / green, and more. After I got home, I went to the Foggy Dew for maybe half an hour to check out what was going on there: bagpipes, impromptu Irish jigs, HONKY-TONK WOMEN, MOONDANCE, live band, and more. Lots of Guinness hats, green outfits, and such stuff was around in the loud pub!

Trivia fact for Thursday, Mar. 18: Which U.S. president was living in a house on San Juan Hill when he received news of his election as commander in chief? Herbert Hoover, in 1928. The 57-room house (on San Juan Hill in Palo Alto, California) was the first and only permanent residence that Hoover and his wife, Lou, shared. Now a national historic site, it serves as the home of the president of Stanford University.
