So I was crazy-busy last night working that event and after about an hour there texted BG that he was still welcome to come buy I didn’t think things would slow down for me soon. So he ended up not coming, which was a little disappointing (just wanna see him!) but I totally understand that he didn’t want to go to my work event alone and not get any time with me. I was helping with registration and was kind of shocked how rude some people can be if you tell them they’re at a private, ticketed event and need to pay for a ticket if they haven’t paid already. Anyway. It was a late and busy night. I am exhausted. BG and I are doing dinner tonight but I’m quietly hoping jet lag is kicking his butt like it did mine a couple weeks ago because I really want an early night if we’re gonna be out celebrating St. Patty’s all day tomorrow.

Anyone have fun weekend plans or dates?

Where is @TheLadyE, what’s new with you?

Our anniversary is tomorrow so a good meal. A still mooing steak for me for sure. We also are going to a museum tomorrow.

We have our consult with the new dr this evening for the reversal. Fingers crossed that goes well.

Currently sitting at the dentist as we both came in for cleanings. I’m a good flosser and no cavities. Woohoo.

Am looking at veneers on my two front teeth from when they were knocked out when I was a kid. The bonding has lived its life span. That should be cheap. Ha. Thanks to the kid for pushing me on the playground and knocking out my two front teeth.

I have also been super sick with a cold and my bf just caught it on Thursday so I think our St. Paddy’s day plans may be a bit more low-key this year. I still plan to drink a few beers, but I don’t think it will be as much of an all-out party as it usually is. I had wanted to go to Chicago since it is only about a 6 hour drive from me and I have heard St. Paddy’s day is pretty epic there, but the sickness has won. I know a few of you are from Chicago or that area, is it really that great? Or are you mostly just annoyed with the drunken tourists?

I am not the praying type, but I will keep your Mom in my thoughts @Veritek.

I am mostly a lurker, but love hearing the updates from people, especially as I find myself in a relatively new (6 months) relationship after I was sure the last one was “it”.

I hope all is well @theladye. How is life across the pond going @MissD?

So we had a blizzard here on Wednesday. Sustained winds of 50+ MPH and gusts up to nearly 90 MPH! It was crazy. Back to work today though. Glad the blizzard didn’t last to long as I didn’t go to the store (who wants to fight that crowd?) and am now nearly out of everything.

Other than having some company Saturday evening, nothing else going on here.

Good luck to your mom @Vertek. I hope it goes well. Knee surgery sucks for sure – sorry she has to go through that. That is def one surgery to avoid if possible but I understand it isn’t always possible.

Thanks @copa. I do think it would be fun to do at least once, and feel like I should do it before I get too old and am just annoyed by all the drunk people.

I’m not going to lie, the Chicago St. Pat’s day scene can be a total shit show. Maybe it’s ok downtown/by the river…. but the bars in all of the neighborhoods are insane. People are fighting and passing out by, IDK, 2 in the afternoon. Then they go home, rally and go back out. I’ve seen vomit on the sidewalks. I’ve seen two women fight in a bar. I’ve seen people not able to stand. I avoid these types of holidays, like St. Pat’s and Cinco de Mayo around here because it’s total amateur hour.

Others might have had different experiences.
