I am going to have some beers at Potato Shack for St. Paddy's Day. That just seems a little racist.

As an Irish-American, I can fully say that as long as you're enjoying yourself, aren't fighting in public, and aren't dressed like a fucking leprechaun we don't give a shit. We're too busy getting ready for Beltane/May Day.

If I have any Irish ancestry it is extremely small and far back, the vast majority of my heritage is German. Everyone always assumes I'm more Irish because of my hair.

It's not an unfair assumption to make. Red hair is only natural in something like 2-5% of the population and 10% of THAT is in Ireland.

There's always that one car that just HAS to pass you. They have their mind made up, and dammit, it's happening. I like to slowly speed up when I see one of these guys just to see how fast I can get them to go before they finally overtake me, because it's going to happen.

Well, I just had to shovel half a foot of snow off the driveway, BUT at least my seasonal allergy issues are gone. :p

A good friend from Lafayette's brother died while she was at my house visiting. That's kind of sad, but it was expected. He'd been in the hospital for heart failure for over a month. If it weren't sad for my friend, his obit would be kind of funny. She has 12 siblings, and the survivors section of the obit takes up about half a page.

The school talent show got postponed because of road conditions. By the time school ended today, the roads were clear and dry, like they are everytime we get an overnight spring snow storm. Super annoyed because not only did I make matching outfits for my daughter and her friend, the rescheduled date is the day of her friend's dance recital. FFS people, we live in Colorado, never judge road conditions 8 hours before you need to care.

So, I'm home safely fro my month-long vacation. Despite checking in through my phone on occasion, I'm sure you all missed the deluge of alerts every log-in. be prepared for a but of catch-up. However, don't be saddened if you don't get 28x as many as you'd normally have, I'm not completely reading all threads, and I'm not reacting to literally everything I see, just most of it :p

In other news, ugh, back to work on Monday, ugh, all the stress of all the problems waiting at home for me, and ugh housework and just plain ugh. I didn't wanna come home :cry:

Also, go see New Zealand, it's pretty great. it's like Canada, but warmer and with penguins.

A friend of mine was complaining to me about long distance relationships...about how skype and stuff just wasn't the same. I told her that it was better than writing a letter and waiting six months for it to get there, and another six to get back. Then I took the thought to its absurd conclusion:

"M'Lday, my loins stirreth for thee. Prithee favor me with a sketch of thine nether regions.."

"M'Lady. I have received thine sketch. Thou art beautiful as thou art bushy. I am afraid that the letter took so long to arrive that I married and had a child. But fret not! They perished of the cholera two weeks ago. I am including a fine portrait of my cranny hunter, painted in oils this day by a fine artisan in Venice."

"P.S. I promiseth that I did not ask the artist to exaggerate mine proportions. It really does lay over my shoulder like that. Prithee write back soon!"


"My fair maiden. I yearn for even the scent of thee. Prithee send me some of your unwashed unmentionables. I understand that it may be difficult--I have included a cheque to cover the cost of a steamer trunk large enough to fit your petticoat"


"Bae caught me resting mine eyes upon a midsummer eve and hastily called forth the royal portraitist"

ok, maybe it was just funny to me ;)
