Mom, Dad: I'm Gaelic!

Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone! Hope you will find some time today to listen to some Flogging Molly and have yourself a green beer. Or just a beer in any form. I celebrated a bit this weekend:


And because I'm an awesome sister, when my little sis called me from a bar in Soulard, I did, in fact, go and pick up her DRUNK ASS. Here she is with a friend...



My husband also is quite the character, LITERALLY, when it comes to St. Pats. Here he is in all of his glory.


Yes, he made that thing. Cute. Also - fucking annoying.

Anyway, I'm off to get some corned beef and cabbage (which is an American thing, by the way). Yeah, I know. It's so stereotypical. What is with us Americans and our food stereotyping? Oh my GOD. Don't get me started on that one. Because I have SOUTHERN roots as well. Assume what you will about that, and you're probably right when it comes to the food.

Slainte!

Fana: Yeah, I guess. Trojan was better. Truth is, I don't really find this shit funny anymore.

Matt: I will recommend that one. Halloween perhaps???

Saly said...

Wow, it must be a trip living with your man.

Corned beef? Cabbage?? How am I going to get that two full days after St. Patty's? I wonder if my mother would object to serving it for Easter Dinner?

mom of the year said...

Saly: Yes, my hubs is definitely a trip. And the corned beef? For Easter? That would be awesome! DOWN WITH HAM!
