How I spent the earlier part of St.Patty's Day 2009

March 17th,2009

I woke up PISSY,really pissy,I'd slept like crap. I'd left the window open so between the fragrant aroma of cowpie and the stupid wildebeest of the dog that lives behind me barking I was up off and on all night. My pillow had decided to become a combination of rocks and some strange fluffiness that induces ear numbing,you know;when you lay on your ear wrong even for a few minutes and it feels like it has been pulled off and reattached in a careless manner?

Finally,I am almost asleep,NOPE! What nights sleep is complete without spousal leg sweat? REALLY? Maybe when we gain employment again we can afford to turn the AC on,until then,tiny chips of hatred ding away at our marital bed.

The alarm goes off without fail at 6:20...6:20 is bullshit! I tell myself,"it's later than 6am,that's good,but dammit,it's still too freaking early!" I wake the girls,(OH FUN!)

Gabbie is crabby,(HA!,that rhymed) her socks aren't mated correctly,the bath water is too hot and who in the hell thought she would actually eat that homemade english muffin?! She of course burst into tears and announced she was sick of being yelled at! (Someone is NOT a morning person!)

I get the brats,err... I mean I get my darling girls off to school and turn on the Today Show,they're doing a special on Ireland! I love Ireland! I've never been but my maternal side is Irish,my favorite color is green and leprechauns are sexy,what's not to love?

They are doing a special on Guinness,mmmmmm,Guinness! They have taken it and created a "Black Velvet". MY GOD! Guinness AND Champagne mixed? YUMMMM!

Aaron (the sweaty spouse,whom I love) trots off to the store and gets me the fixin's of a Black Velvet or 12. I make one,with all the concentration and hope that I can muster at 9:22 a.m.

I make one,I sip it,I fall in love and wonder where it has been all my life?!
How have I made it to 36 without ever having one of these drinks? I have two,by 10:30 I am a giggling fool!

Aaron has gone to try his luck at fishing at Pacana Park,and I'm sipping the nectar of the leprechauns and playing on Facebook! It's the best day EVAH!

Seriously,I had a crap nights sleep,a crap morning and all I needed was Black Velvet!

Alannah Miles knew what she was talking about when she chortled this tune out!

(go ahead,google her,I'll wait)...

So,the moral is,anytime life is crappy,don't watch daytime tv,don't console yourself with pork rinds,drink Black Velvet,it should be a medicinal tonic,it's that good ;)
