Look Back and Forward

Creamy swiss & bacon spread with crackers today.

We had a BLAST during our St. Patty's Day outing on Saturday. It was a group of 6-10 of us traveling throughout the city. We even made the Madison nightly news as a "group of revelers" at the Irish pub by the Capitol. We looked like dorks, but wow did we have fun. How did YOU celebrate St. Patrick's Day (lie to me if you must)?

I have an exam on Wednesday & have no idea how I'll have enough time to study. This math junk is hard. I spent all day yesterday on it, and feel like I mastered very little. If this exam doesn't go well, I might drop the class. Work is busy, too, which doesn't help. I have to survey night shift CNAs tonight, so won't be done with that til 11 pm. Yuck.

I'm looking forward to Seattle this summer. We got a Frommer's book and reading it is getting me excited. By then I'll be back in the normalcy of no school and no part-time job (that sucked up all of LAST summer).

We did the usual for SPD. I made corned beef and cabbage and we had friends over. It was quiet but nice.

Yeppers. *hops* and I can't wait. 6 months and counting. I've never been to Canada as an adult.

An adult? Is that what you are calling yourself these days?

I took Michael to dinner at a really nice restaurant for his birthday, which is really this week, but we don't have a sitter for this week. We watched March Madness, which was cool because VCU happened to be playing while we were there so the whole place was watching together.

*wonders if anyone is looking forward to meeting me in SF and in Chicago*

Bravie said...

You're gonna be in SF, Boo? I had no idea. *grin*
*pees mature self waiting for Booboo to get here*

St. Paddy's day? I had a great St. Patrick's weekend. I guess I'll update.

I had a wild and raucous St. Patrick's Day! I drank lots of Guinness, marched in the parade, got asked to join "The Wild Irish Roses Penny Whistle Band and Dance Troupe" and passed out in a field of four leaf clover and dreamt merry Jamison-infused dreams of kissing the Blarney Stone and having dinner with James Joyce.

(The above is code for: My in-laws were over and they hung wallpaper border in the kid's room. Then Mr. Fro finished painting the trim in there. It's green! I ate a lemon-filled donut, and then had a weird fainting episode, wherein I didn't actually faint but really thought I was going to. So, I napped on the couch the rest of the day.)

Boo's coming to Chicago? When?

kim (weltek) said...

Are you near Chicago, Frodis?

BTW, I like your story best. :-)

frodis said...

Yep! I'm in the Chicago 'burbs.

I got stinkin' Irish drunk and passed out at home. *grin*
