couple things...

ben forgot to mention a very important part of the recipe for a great party..
if you want a great party have loan cook the food.. she did a more than amazing job..
she totally spoiled me.. and ben.. poor ben doesn't like corn beef and cabbage.. and cannot be asked to eat my special meal on my special day.. so loan cooks different food for him, and my brother.. who are both big babies.. either way.. she had everything totally prepared.. i didn't have to lift a finger.. it was the best corn beef and cabbage ever.. Seriously .. i cannot thank her enough for all the food she made.. i can't imagine how much work went into that delicious meal.. thank you home..

anyways.. also.. learned an interesting fact in my history class.. the word hysterical comes from the greek word for the uterus.. hence hysterectomy..
but that's crazy.. could be why we tend to referred to women and not men as 'hysterical'.... just thought that was interesting..

The reason that we call women hysterical and not men is because in ancient and slightly less ancient Greece, they believed that the uterus was not a fixed organ. They believed that it traveled around the body making young women crazy. Their prescription for a hysterical women was to get married and have sex because that caused the organ to stay in one place and relieve her symptoms. Psyc class...

right.. but isn't it funny that we would never refer to a man as hysterical?
