St. Patrick's Day is like Christmas for drunks... A day where you don't get judged for drinking at 1pm on a Thursday afternoon? Where we can wear green and dance like fools and indulge in Irish food! (That we pretend to like...Shepards Pie??? C'mon!)
I am a huge fan of any event (tailgating, concerts, festivals, St. Paddy's day) where day drinking is appropriate. Just my two cents.
Moving on. This year we attended the Nelson's annual St. Paddy's day bash on Saturday. It was a lot of fun...Irish food, beer, drinks, dancing, and some basketball on TV ;-) However, at some point the night took a turn ... not crazy per se...but let's just say that Paul and I got home at 3;30am (4:30am with the time change!) YIKES!!!! That is definitely the latest I've been out since college, O.M.G. After that, I swore I wasn't going to make it out that week for the actual Thursday night St. Patrick's festivities ...but somehow I found the strength.
Thursday we went to the Shops of Legacy and sipped a few beers at the Gingerman. It was so fun seeing EVERYONE sporting their green! :-) And this time we made it home at a more reasonable hour! Lucky me.
