Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish and wannabee Irish out there. Festivities under way including the wearing of green and the drinking of beer. We've got friends coming into town this afternoon, going to hit the pub crawl downtown. I've got a few hours to whip up a green hat or two - nothing like waiting til the last minute to stress a person out.
Totally unrelated - I HATE driving in roundabouts. What is the deal with those anyway? Why are they putting them in everywhere? Seriously, I can't stand them. No one seems to know how to navigate them, and the entire time I'm going around I cringe - just waiting for an accident. No love for the roundabout.
Check out the Urban Dictionary Word Of The Day, I love it!
March 17: bad economy
An all-purpose excuse that people use during a recession to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often these things in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic circumstances.
