My St. Paddy's Day evening...

I worked until 5:30 today so by the time I got home and changed clothes, redid my makeup and put the dogs out, it was close to 7:00 by the time we got up to O'Malleys for our St. Paddy's dinner. The place was packed and we walked around the two main areas trying to find a place to sit....and no place at the bar either...and then we spotted our friends, Bill and Joanne and there were two empty seats next to them at their table. They had ordered the corn beef and cabbage and it looked really good so that's what I got. So the three of us had the corned beef and cabbage and hubby orderd FISH AND CHIPS....who the hell orders fish and chips on St. Patrick's Day?? Joanne thought it was even weird that they even had it on the special St. Patrick's Day menu.

I had my first beer in over 2 months!!!!! I wanted an Irish beer so I ordered two Killians and later a Guiness. Couldn't believe the prices when we got the bill.....the Killians were $5 a piece and the Guiness was $6.25!! Holy Hell, I could have bought a whole 6-pack for that price.....wtf???

But I won our dinner anyway. Bill and I played the Keno and my 3 numbers (7-11-14) came up and I won $27! Then after they left, I played two numbers (4-22..my dad's birthday) and it came up twice and I won another $22.....won $49 altogether!!...Hey, it paid for our dinner and my extravegant drinks.

We got home in time to see the results of American Idol. Why oh why am I wasting my freakin' time on this show????? I have already missed most of it due to the fact that I would rather watch ANYTHING ELSE, but I did my best to watch it last night....literally running back and forth between my TV in my family room and my TV in my living room...(I was taping Lost so couldn't just change the channel)...and I know which ones will stay for awhile without my vote. So I decided to vote for the one girl that I think will need the votes and I would like to see stick around for awhile before she'll probably get voted off anyway....Lacey. So I gave a lot of votes for Lacey last night....and some to Michael and some to Crystal. Well, tonight Lacey got voted off!! WTF....Why did I bother? God, I hate this show....

OK....THAT'S IT....I went to the Votefortheworst website and they are telling us to vote for Tim cause he's the worst. That's who I thought for sure would get voted off this week, but no...talented Lacey got voted off even with my votes. So guess what???? Guess who's getting my votes next week??? To hell with the whole show...I'm voting for TIM URBAN...."helmet head" as they call him. They have a picture of Darth Vader with his hair on the website..haha. www.votefortheworst.com...I love their website.

Personally, my choice for the worst would be Andrew Garcia....

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY....

Oh, I had my "kiss me, I'm Irish" button on and this guy asked me if I was really Irish and I told him about my Gr-Gr-Gr-grandparents being from Ireland so he gave me a kiss!..

    Ireland, being virtually surrounded by the ocean, eats A LOT of fish and chips! So Jerry was right on for his dinner choice!
    No one in Ireland eats corned beef and cabbage much, it's traditionally considered peasant food! (although it's what I make year after year!)

    I was thinking that today that the Irish eat alot of fish. But fish and chips seems more like a Friday night fish fry thing to me.
