Gooood St. Patty's Day Morning DU!!

[BlondieK143]

:hug: How is everyone this morning? Hopefully no one has started drinking just yet. :P Have some :donut: to start the day off! What's everyone's plans for tonight? I'm going out with a good friend and drinking until it's no longer possible for me to stand. :D And then maybe I'll find some hot... oh wait, that's another story.

Wake up and tell me what's going on! :)

I'll take some of that corned beef, just no cabbage. :D

[Robeson]

She's up in NJ and I'm down here in rural red FL.

[BlondieK143]

16. Maybe she can mail some?

:shrug: Just trying to cheer ya up!

[ffm172]

14. I am up since 7 hours

we don't celebrate St. Patrick's day here. So it will be for me going to teh gym after work and getting my stuff packed for tomorrow so that I can hit the street right after work to my bf. Oh, and finally taking my clothes from the clothesline :)

[BlondieK143]

17. Well, happy SPD anyway!

:) You can always come drink beer with us!

How's it going since the bf is with?

[ffm172]

27. funny, SPD is a party in Germany

Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschland

thansk for the invitation. Drink a beer for me tonight and get crazy :)

Everything is going fine. Will be 3 weeks tomorrow since I saw him last. You can imagine how happy I am. Did you see that Marine of yours?

[BlondieK143]

31. What the hell is that??

lol, sorry, I'm still trying to imagine how the heck you'd say that!

And you're welcome and I sure as hell will!:D

That's so awesome! I'm so happy for you! And no, not yet. Girl, don't even get me started! He's not coming up here until Saturday during the day and then I have to take his ass to the airport at 4:00 am on Sunday. Ugh.

[ffm172]

35. SPD is the democratic party here in Germany

oh that is horrible to see him off. I would cry like a baby if I had to take my bf to the airport in such a situation. Well, make sure the night to Sunday is unforgettable :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

37. Gotcha.

:) Thanks for the explanation! I was a little confused. (You can tell I don't get out much!)

I'm sure there will be tears, but it'll all work out how it's supposed to. I wish he'd get here sooner, but he's spending time with his sister and everything. Oh well, what can ya do. :shrug:

[ffm172]

41. make him suffer a little bit

if you know what I mean :evilgrin:

how should you know what SPD in Germany stands for, don't worry. There are a lot of Germans who don't know it either. See, I had to ask what GOP stands for. Same thing.

[BlondieK143]

43. Oh trust me, I will.

I'm going to make sure that's all he thinks about for a long, long time. :D

[ffm172]

44. there you go

that is what I am talking about!!! And make some pics you can send him while he is downrange ... lol

[BlondieK143]

50. LOL!

Moi?? Pictures? But I'm soooo innocent! :eyes: Riiiggghttt!

[ffm172]

54. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

:eyes:

and who is believing you this?

[BlondieK143]

55. Um, well...

You were supposed to. :D Guess that didn't work.

[ffm172]

57. maybe I should start a thread and ask the people around here

who thinks that you are innocent :)

[BlondieK143]

61. That'd be amusing.

One person here DEFINITELY knows that isn't true. lol

[ffm172]

64. ok, watch for the thread

:)

and who is that person?????

[BlondieK143]

65. A wildly popular DUer.

Who graces me with his mornings. :D

[ffm172]

66. there is more than one who does that

:P

the thread is started. Let's see who responds :)

[BlondieK143]

67. Without you all,

I seriously wouldn't know what to do! You make my mornings worth getting up! :hug:

hehe. I'm sure some of the stuff in my head would shock the hell out of ya'll. :D

[ffm172]

69. I doubt it

I think it would be a rather interesting conversation :)

[BlondieK143]

71. Or I'd make people run away!

:D

[ffm172]

73. not me

I wanna hear all your little secrets :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

75. That's why you need to come to Boston!

:D We'll sit and drink and spill our guts!

[ffm172]

78. or you come to Germany

but Boston is a city I want to visit. And I will. I promise. And now even more since I know that you are there :)

[BlondieK143]

79. Well, technically, I'm not there.

Just visiting. :D

And i've always wanted to travel outside the US. So, if there's a room involved, I could possibly consider it! :)

[ffm172]

81. this weekend I will be at my mom's

she had birthday yesterday and will have a dinner on Saturday. Of course my bf is coming with me.

[BlondieK143]

82. That sounds fun!

Hope you all have a wonderful time!

[ffm172]

84. I am sure we will

esp the nights will be wonderfull :evilgrin:

... I really should start to drag my mind out of the gutter .... hhmmmmm .... :)

[BlondieK143]

85. Such a difficult thing to do, isn't it?

I really find myself deleting a lot of stuff. I don't want to make the mods unhappy. :( I guess you could just say I'm pretty much like a guy (well, you know what I mean).

[ffm172]

87. you are not the only one

I joined xmas in the gutter, we actually think it is quite a nice place there. Why leave all the fun to the guys?

[BlondieK143]

88. Exactly!

We have their kids and put up with their shit, we should be able to have our fun as well! :D

[ffm172]

90. of course it is fun to let them know we are innocent and then ....

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just to see the look on their faces ... priceless :P

[BlondieK143]

91. exactly!

they're so cute! especially when they're getting teased.

[BlondieK143]

38. Gotcha.

:) Thanks for the explanation! I was a little confused. (You can tell I don't get out much!)

I'm sure there will be tears, but it'll all work out how it's supposed to. I wish he'd get here sooner, but he's spending time with his sister and everything. Oh well, what can ya do. :shrug:

[Guaranteed]

19. Mornin' sweetie...

How ya doin? :P

[BlondieK143]

24. HEY!!

Damn! *falls in the floor* How the hell are ya?? :hug:

[Guaranteed]

28. I broke my ankle.

I'm couch-ridden. :(

But I'm on Spring Break, so I might just get started on the drinking early.

Whatchoo doin? Going to work?

[BlondieK143]

33. Oh no!

I'm sorry sweetie! :( :hug: Bet you're totally milking it with your gf though.

Yes, drink early and have one for me as well! Already at work unfortunately, but it should be a short day. So, how's the couch? :)

[Guaranteed]

36. It's getting pretty saggy.

And smelly. :)

But that's the way I like it.

Yeah, I'm milking this thing pretty good. Haven't done a lick of housework in a couple of weeks.

[BlondieK143]

39. Saggy and smelly.

It's a good thing I know you're refering to the couch! :)

It's been awhile since I've talked to ya, what else is new?

[Guaranteed]

40. Welp, still doin the school thing.

Finished one of my classes, though.

I'm 6/6 now. Hee hee :)

What you doin tonight? Gonna party?

[BlondieK143]

42. Awesome!

It's not kicking your ass too much is it? :D

And yes, going to party majorly! :) Actually, we're only going to have a few beers at a place I can get served then we're going back to his apartment to hang out. They'll be plenty of people and plenty of beer to go around! That sucks you can't go out! :(

[Guaranteed]

46. Yeah, I'm heading to up to Chicago tomorrow

though to see a concert with a buddy of mine. Should be interesting gimping around and boozin. Can't dance, but what the hell.

[BlondieK143]

51. I'd pay to see you try!

Don't go and break the other one while you attempt to dance! :) How long ago did you break it?

[Guaranteed]

53. Couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, I haven't talked to ya in a while. :)

[BlondieK143]

56. That's your fault!

:D I try to PM you all the time.

[Guaranteed]

58. Yeah, must be a break in the line or somethin',

right? That's my excuse, too. :P

I should just get up early more often.

[BlondieK143]

62. Riiiiight.

You're a bad liar! :D

And yes, you should. I'm guaranteed to start your day off right. :D

[Guaranteed]

86. Speaking of starting my day off right,

Crystal just showed up with my Coke.

Hee hee.

[BlondieK143]

92. Awww!

She's such a sweetheart! :D You better be good to her!

[Guaranteed]

94. Well, not till I get my cast off.

hee hee

[BlondieK143]

95. Oh shut up!

:D If I'm not happy in that department, by gosh, no one else is gonna be!

[Guaranteed]

96. Hey, she just wants me to do some housework.

That's all. :P

[BlondieK143]

97. Riiiight.

:) She's going to put you to some serious work once you're recovered.

[Guaranteed]

103. I've said it a thousand times- BLONDIE IS THE GREATEST.

You're just the best, sweetie. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

105. Awww! That was sweet!

Where did that come from ?? :hug: You're awesome!

[Guaranteed]

108. Psssh I say it all the time.

It's like it's nothin'. :)

Everyone knows it.

[BlondieK143]

109. Well, I certainly didn't!

:) You should really come around more often. And thank you, seriously.

[Guaranteed]

118. Fuggedaboutit. No comparison.

I'll probably say it again next time I see ya, too. :)

[BlondieK143]

121. That's fine with me.

It's nice that people on DU (okay, so maybe like, 2) are so nice to me. I don't get that in 'real life'.

[Guaranteed]

124. I find that very surprising.

Seriously.

[BlondieK143]

126. I wish I were kidding.

:) I guess that's why I love starting my mornings here so much. You all are wonderful. Maybe we just live on some foreign universe here. :D

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Top of the mornin and the rest of the day to you all

[BlondieK143]

26. Thanks!

:) Don't get too crazy!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

48. Not a prob

[Beer Snob-50]

47. i have a boy scout meeting to run tonight

followed by going home and have a couple of nice guinesses (that is the plural i think)

[BlondieK143]

52. Sounds like a good time!

So, what does guiness taste like? Never had it.

[Beer Snob-50]

59. very smooth!!

i just discovered it within the last couple of years and love it.

[BlondieK143]

63. I dunno.

I've never tried dark beer before. That may be something I'll have to try.

[Beer Snob-50]

68. give it a try!

you will love it!

[BlondieK143]

70. Well, why not?

We'll see if I can step away from the Bud Light for a sec tonight and go for something new. :)

[Brewman_Jax]

72. G'day, Blondie!

or rather, Top o' the morning, Blondie! :hi:

Taking tomorrow off so I can go party with my brother tonight. Don't worry, my green shirts are washed and ready. First, I must practice scales on my Yamaha keyboard. I started learning taichi broadsword; Teacher taught me the first movement last week. This'll be my 4th weapons routine.

The weekend weather is looking up after 2 days of cold and dreary weather. It won't be this:

How was the visit from your favorite Marine?

[BlondieK143]

74. Dreary weather here too.

Sucks doesn't it??

Hope you have a GREAT time!! Don't get too wild and crazy! (We both know you have potential to do that!) Bundle up too, it sucks majorly out there!

And no visit yet. Only get graced with his affection for one night before I take him to the airport. :eyes: But thanks for asking!

[Brewman_Jax]

80. He hasn't stopped in?

I was under the impression that he had been there over the weekend. I know that you're looking forward to seeing him.

I won't get TOO wild and crazy, got too much to do over the weekend. Which reminds me...











No doughnut for you! :P

Do you get a break for the night and/or tomorrow?

[BlondieK143]

83. Yep, sure do.

Well, he came in last weekend but has been at his sister's and uncle's house (they live about an hour away from me). And he's going to Nashville today or tomorrow to see a friend. So, that pretty much leaves me with the shitty leftovers. Oh well. *sigh*

You mean you have no raging parties planned for this weekend? I'm shocked! BTW, did you ever get banquet pics back?

[Brewman_Jax]

89. Not yet

have to pick them up today or tomorrow. Guess I'll finally have to get a scanner to load in the pictures. Can't be a slacker forever. :P

Raging parties? 'Fraid not. The last "raging" party was to embarrass my brother for his birthday at trivia last week. :party:

Is your Marine heading to see you this weekend?

[BlondieK143]

93. On Saturday.

Then he stays the night and I take him to the airport at 4 AM. :(

And no, don't be a slacker! Ya gotta share with the group! And just what did you do to your poor brother?

[Brewman_Jax]

99. Just had him up front

bring him up front and the Hooters girls sang at him. He stood on a stool and they put balloons on him. They got him after the trivia game. It's rather tame.

Oh, no! You have to get up at 4am? You're probably not going to sleep.

[BlondieK143]

102. Awesome!

My friends did that to me when I turned 18. I bet he loved every second of it!

And you're right, there will be no sleeping! I've waited too long!

[Brewman_Jax]

110. Are you wearing your green today?

I have on a dark green button-down.

He got a kick out of it. We've been playing trivia there for years so we know most everyone. ;)

[BlondieK143]

112. Sorta.

:) my cute head scarf has green on it. I'm getting all decked out tonight, just didn't get too much today.

[Brewman_Jax]

117. How much longer before

you can go :party: :beer:

[BlondieK143]

122. About 20 minutes.

:party: Have a GREAT day and have fun tonight! Be careful!

[Brewman_Jax]

125. You too!

:hug: Have fun and party on! :party: :toast:

and try a Guiness or Bass. You'll see what real beer tastes like.

[BlondieK143]

127. Definitely think I'm going to!

It seems I'm missing out!

[yellowdogintexas]

98. searching for something green to wear was HARD! All the

green in stores is either bile green, mint green, pea green or neon lime. None of which are the kind of green I care to be seen in behind closed doors, much less in public.

I bought some curly ribbons to pin to a white sweater.

Oh yeah I'm also donateing blood today

[BlondieK143]

101. Good for you!!

At least you get a cookie when it's over! :)

And green ribbons is definitely easier than trying to decide on a shirt! I had the same problem!

[AFSCME girl]

100. Mornin' You!

Happy St. Paddy's Day to ya! Hope all is well with you! I'm up and at 'em this fine morning :bounce:

Sounds like you have a fun night planned! I'm not sure what my plans are for tonight - I'm sure I'll find something to do :toast: :hi:

[BlondieK143]

104. You better!

A wonderful woman like you can't stay at home on such a fun night!

If you get bored you could always fly down to TN! :hug:

[AFSCME girl]

111. Why thank you!

You are such a sweetie!:hug: I wish I could, that would be a blast! :toast: :party:

A nice cold beer sounds mighty good right now, too!!! :beer:

[BlondieK143]

114. Sure does!

I'm tempted to drink at 10:00 this morning (don't worry, I won't). :D

It would be fun! Maybe I'll get up there one of these days. How's the weather?

[AFSCME girl]

128. It's going up to..

41 degrees today and a whopping 44 tomorrow!! Good Lord, it'll be time to start laying out soon! :o B-)

[BlondieK143]

129. Woo Hoo!!!

:D Can't beat that! You'll have to start working on that tan now!

[AFSCME girl]

131. Warm sunshine, good friends,

and a cold beer! Life does not get any better! :bounce: :loveya:

[BlondieK143]

132. I hear that!!

:hug: Have a wonderful day sweetie! Talk to you soon!

[AFSCME girl]

133. You too!

and have fun tonight! :loveya:

[underpants]

106. I've got on my green pants, white long sleeve T, and Orange golf shirt

I'm a FREAKIN' IRISH FLAG!!!!!!!!!

[BlondieK143]

107. Sweet!

:yourock:

You beat me!

[Bzzzz]

113. Top of the mornin' to ya...

plan on going to Union Jack's and meeting all the 'Liberal Drinkers' there this evening! :toast:

[BlondieK143]

116. Sounds like so much fun!!

Make sure to toss back a few for me also! Where is Union Jack's?

[Bzzzz]

138. In Indianapolis...

Broadripple...neat area of town.

[Discord]

119. Good morning and Happy St. Patty's Day to you too! nt

[BlondieK143]

123. Thank you!!

Have a WONDERFUL day! :D

[Discord]

130. and thank you!

I will definately give it my best shot!
:D

[El Fuego]

134. Top of the Marnin' to ya!

I've got a corn beef cooking in the crock pot, and when I get home I'm going eat the corn beef (yum!), and then I'm going to the Irish bar downtown to drink beer and PARTY!!!

I've got my conservative green shirt here on at the office, and tonight I'm going to wear a green lace shirt with a bright green bra which is my traditional St. Patty's bar outfit.

Will I go to work tomorrow? I don't know! :beer:

[Jack Rabbit]

135. Musical interlude: dedicated to my father

He reaches for his guitar and sings like a sick horse.

O, Danny (G)Boy, the pipes, the pipes are (C)calling
From (D7)glen to (G)glen and (Em)down the mountainside.
The summer's (G)gone and all the leaves are (C)falling
It's you, it's (G)you must (D7)go while I must (G)bide.

But (D7)come ye (G)back when (C)summer's in the (G)meadow
Or (D7)when the (Em)valley's (C)hushed and (D7)white with snow
I'll be (G)there in (C)sunshine or in (G)shadow
O, (G)Danny Boy, O, (Em)Danny Boy, I (D7)love you (G)so.

And when ye come and all the flowers are dying,
If I'm dead, and dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, 'though soft you tread above me
And my grave will warm and sweeter be
And if you bend and tell me that you love me
Then I will sleep in peace 'til you come to me.

[IronLionZion]

137. top o the morning to you hon,

I'll be drinking shortly. just some irish cream in my coffee for now, and on to stronger stuff at night. Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's day...except St. Patrick. He was English!

cheers
ILZ

[Jack Rabbit]

139. Bump!!

[Historic NY]

140. this pretty much sums up my day & evening............
