Coco and the Monkey: March 2011

Hubby and I met our friends, Mr & Mrs A, for a 'quiet' dinner out at Hey Mambo last night. The thinking behind this was, it's an Italian restaurant, no one will be here on St Patrick's Day. It actually wasn't too crowded, and we enjoyed the beautiful weather at an outdoor table. The food was delicious, but the cocktails and wine were even better! Being a holiday and all, we decided to check out the new Brady Tavern for an after dinner drink (or two, or three). I had heard great reviews and was not disappointed! The inside doesn't look too different from the old Lola's, but the menu was full of fun drinks, both 'old school' and 'new school' and the food looked great. Hubby and I will definitely be back for dinner!

Waking up this morning, I realized I did learn three things last night...

Hubby's green drinking pants still rock!
While I'm not Irish or Catholic, I love any excuse to go out on a weeknight and act like a 22 year old!
Despite #2, I am waaaaaaaay to old to celebrate St Patrick's Day!

Monkey and I enjoyed a fun morning at the Zoo this week... along with the rest of Tulsa! Not sure why I thought the Wednesday of spring break wouldn't be too crowded, but we had fun regardless.

I did notice an interesting phenomenon... Remember in your early 20s how Halloween was an excuse for 'nice' girls to wear trashy clothes? ie "slutty" nurse, "slutty" cat, even "slutty" policewoman... Well, apparently, sunny day + trip to the zoo = daisy dukes and tube tops for some moms out there. Not sure that getting a tan is quite that important to me, but it made for good people watching!

Here are some pics of Monkey enjoying the animals...
