Tomorrow's the big day! Unfortunetly I have to work, but I'm going to work kilted! And if they don't like it, tough!

Tomorrow is the day, and I will without a doubt be kilted. I'll also be celebrating at the second "Plaid skirt and white shirt" night at Cowboy Sharkies here in Tulsa!

I'll be kilted as well. I am every weekend anyway, this just gives me an extra reason!

A fantastic reason to kilt-up - as if we needed one. Count me in!

July the 1st here, glass raised and kilted. Slaínte mhath!
