She waits another week to fall apart...

About me

American girls are weather and noise....

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. ~ Thomas Paine

Lessons learned from St. Patrick's Day:

1)  No matter how cute it is, or how cold it is outside, or how traditional and appropriate it is, it will be TOO HOT in the bar for that Irish cable knit sweater.

2) When you figure out #1 and decide to remove the offending sweater, make sure someone helps you hold down the T-shirt you wore underneath it.

3) Green Beer is highly, HIGHLY overrated.

4) Don't fight with everyone who selects anything other than U2 on the jukebox.  You need to save your energy for the real fights, like when your ex sister in law walks in the door with her new boyfriend.

5) A Black and Tan, when poured on someone's lap, makes them leave the bar rather quickly.

6) Crazy people come out in droves on St. Patrick's Day.  If the full moon ever falls on March 17th, it will surely be the end of the world.  Be prepared.

7) No matter how cool you think you are, do NOT practice your best kickboxing move on a police officer.

8) If you're going to ignore #7, you better make damn sure that said police officer is related to you

9) Nothing hurts until the next day.  That doesn't mean you didn't seriously screw up your knee on #7

10) Passing around the can of Redi Whip is not a good way to wrap up the evening.

11) Trust me on the last one.

Ha. Perhaps she just removed her Irish cable knit sweater?

And yes, a quiet, quiet morning. Shhhh.

"6) Crazy people come out in droves on St. Patrick's Day. If the full moon ever falls on March 17th, it will surely be the end of the world. Be prepared."

Actually, it would be destroyed and saved, both. Irish folk really do get that drunk.

Problem is, nobody will remember.

Sounds like you had a good time, anyway. Me, I'm still sick so I didn't get the chance. Maybe this weekend or something.

LOL!!!
You've just covered a lot of the reasons I stop at two pints these days.
(okay, I'll be quiet now and stop gloating)

Green beer...ugh. Stick to the Guiness or Black and Tan.

I was actually too pooped to go out last night ... had every intention to and then didn't ... but my friend the bar owner called it "amateur night" ... when people who don't drink all year try to do it all at once ... people should leave such things to the professionals.
