We had a pretty fun weekend, though not as fun as last year. St Patty's weekend last year was super fun, but this year wasn't quite up to par!
On Friday a friend was having people over for corned beef and cabbage. It was a potluck, so Brian volunteered me to make a pound cake :). So that was my morning. It turned out pretty good!! I'm so bad at flouring the pan, so it wasn't the prettiest, but it tasted good, and that's all that matters :). Totally forgot to take a photo...
Anywho, Brian came home for lunch and we went to Panera, then to the liquor store for our refreshments. Brian had looked up some Irish cocktails, and decided to go with one containing Bushmills, ginger ale, and lime juice (I don't remember what it was called...). I also picked up some Harp, cause it's Irish and my favorite :)
Once home I spent a few hours working, then fit my workout in for the day. I was in a Faith No More mood, so I rocked out to them while I got ready.
Around 6:30 we headed over to our friends' and had a pretty fun party :). The food was actually pretty good! I will admit I was a little nervous about it, I don't think I had ever had corned beef and cabbage before and I'm still a pretty picky eater, but it was good! I only had one of Brian's Bushmills concoctions though...whiskey is so not my thing.
The rest of the night was spent watching basketball and playing games. We called it a night around midnight.
The majority of Saturday was spent recovering! I definitely do not rebound like I did when I was younger :). I spent most of the day watching TV, then we met up with some friends in downtown St Paul that evening. We hit up a few different bars, but as I mentioned, it wasn't as fun as last year, when we found a bar with a pretty good band and danced all night :). I do have to say that the skyways downtown are super awesome since it was still freezing! Not awesome? $6 beers. Lame.
Sunday was again spent recovering. I was in my PJs all day, and it was fabulous :). We did get our Disney trip booked, so at least we were a little productive! We also watched the new Veronica Mars movie. We had planned to go to the theater, but decided to just rent it through the Xbox, since it was available that way too...and much cheaper :). It was good, but not really what I wanted it to be...I can't really articulate why though. Maybe once I've processed it some more...and watched it again :)
So that was our weekend! I've got a ton of things to do today since I was pretty useless this weekend. Still have to do the laundry and go to the grocery store, along with lots of stuff around the house. The store might have to wait though since the weather decided to dump a wintry mix on me and I was going to drive the mustang for the first time since November. The roads aren't clear anymore :(. Stupid weather. I'll probably go tonight after Brian gets home, or cross my fingers that tomorrow will be better :)
Anyway, enough rambling! How was your weekend? Any exciting St Patty's Day experiences?
Hope you have a great Monday, and a fabulous week!!
