St. Patty's day!

What is everyone doing to celebrate St. Patty's day??

Usually I'm really into going out and pretending I'm Irish;) but this year Josh will be in Philly for work, so I'll probably just stay in and do nothing...and of course I can't drink, soooo yeah. I guess it will just be a normal day for me!

Re: St. Patty's day!

  • I'm going to wear green.  Aaaand have Irish themed drinks at night.  And by themed, I mean most of mine will contain Bailey's since I don't do whiskey or beer.  And I told Kirk I was dying his drinks bc he only does clear liquor and wine.

    Lol:) That's cute. I will probably wear green too:)

  • Just a normal day for me. Guy has to work that night and I will have Ellie. I'll wear green but that's it!
  • I have the day off, but having Sami kinda puts a damper on any plans ;)  I'll wear green, and I have a few more outfits to choose from for her (being in a very Irish family, she has been inundated with St Patty's Day gear).  I have a 4-pack of Guinness and a 20oz bottle of Magners waiting in the fridge for when she goes to bed, tho... and we'll prolly have our annual viewing of The Boondock Saints with a friend or two. 

    Sunday my mom is making her boiled dinner, so I'm pretty psyched for that!

    Normally it would be corned beef, cabbage, turnips, and potatoes, but she makes hers with smoked shoulder instead

  • This is the first year I don't work in the morning the next day, so I think we will hit up the pub crawl in town. But since he doesn't get out of work until 11pm, I have a feeling most of the green beer will be gone.

    And the only way I'll ever eat cabbage and turnips!

  • I'll drink whatever they decide to peddle around the office.  It's almost guaranteed it will be a beer cart day.

    Then I'm going home and watching Boondock Saints with DH.  We're exciting.  :)  He's also requested I make the Guinness cupcakes, but they are so much work, I'm not sure if that is going to happen.

  • I hope to have a baby.... other than that nada. I work the next day.
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

  • I always wear my grandmother's emerald jewelry (she's the Irish ancestor and the one I most resemble).

    I'm hoping I'll have time tomorrow night to make stew for Michael (trying to be a bit more authentic Irish. Michael's father had no clue what corned beef and cabbage was - lol!). We may be headed to NYC to see our friends' show which will include some re-vamped Irish tunes.

  • Nothing!

    I'm usually so sick of St. Patty's Day by the time it actually gets here. I've spent the last few weeks looking at lepruchans and shamrocks while doing bar advertising. Blech.

  • We have a going away party for a coworker that night so I will be a trooper, go to the bar, but I dont have a darn thing in green to wear so I bought some buttons from Target. If someone pinches me I swear I will probably punch them!
  • at this point, nothing. I'm worried I have pneumonia. :( I'll wear green, though.
  • We're doing corned beef & cabbage..hopefully I can get Jon to throw it in the crockpot on his lunch break.

    Other than that, not much!

  • Oh how could I forget corned beef & cabbage!

    And a belly full of shamrock shakes from McDonalds :)

    Ya know, I have yet to have a Shamrock Shake yet this year.  I remember being disappointed last year... maybe I will have to give it another try.

  • I have the Dr that day and plan on wearing green.

    Part of me wishes that baby would come that day..with a name like Teaghan what better day to be born than St. Patty's day.

    I am also picking up take out for H, he wants cornd beef for dinner but I don't eat it so I am getting him some from a local pub. I feel bad for him bc he has to take the train home from the city with all the drunk ppl who went into the city for the big NYC St Pattys day parade.

  • It'll be a normal day for me. I might wear some green, if I can find something.

    I made a boiled dinner on Sunday for the first time and it came out great. So easy to do! H suggested that we put it on our Sunday dinner rotation.

  • I'll be wearing lots of green! I'll also be having my annual pepsi with two ice cubes in honor of my late grandmother. It's tradition.
  • It would have been Alex's due date, so we didn't make any plans based on that.  However, since he's here already I think we'll do something.  Nothing crazy.  I have to either make or find somewhere for Joel to get corned beef and cabbage because he didn't get any last year and was really upset about it.  I'll probably have A beer, one.  Which will be my first in a loooong time and then I'll just pump and dump since Alex isn't of age yet Wink
  • I have to work in the drunk tank--- I mean, the ER. Seriously. Between several pubs/bars downtown doing celebrations and being a mile away from the catholic university, and there being NCAA games in town on Tuesday and Wednesday, work is going to SUCK. People say it's the second worst day of the year to work, aside from 4th of July.

  • For Thursday, I'll just wear green. I'm not a fan of corned beef or cabbage so I won't be making either.

    This weekend we are going to the Dropkick Murphy's annual St. Paddy's Day concert. This year it's being held a good 40 minute drive so I just have to hope I don't fall asleep on the way home. ( I'm obv. the DD that day)

  • I'll make sure to wear something green. You quickly learn the importance of this working in an elementary school. :) A local park is dying their pond and fountain green (environmentally safe, I checked), so we talked about going there to see it and then going out to eat. I plan on drinking something with bailey's too.
  • Oh, and DH is making Neuner's car bomb cupcakes. DH has made Guinness cupcakes before but when I told him about the Jameson ganache, he was pumped! I can't wait to try one!

    When I made these last year for NYE, DH made the ganache and was verrrrrrrrrrrrrry proud of himself, haha.  So good!
