I was doing a quick scan of WTOP online and came across this article: “Woman allegedly hits sister with toilet tank lid“.
A title like that makes you stop and click.
The best part is the pic:

That face says it all doesn’t it?
Oh yeah! That’s right!

in alcohol, Green, Squirrely Gurl
Ahhhh Shamrockfest… in the rain!
I missed last year and last year it rained too. I braved it this year and took Squirrely Gurl with me.
I had high hopes as the rain had stopped when I was getting on the Metro. By the time I got to the Stadium it was POURING! Plus I walked right past Squirrely Gurl. The VIP line was GINORMOUS but thankfully it moved rather quick as they had us walk through the mud. Until I got there. They questionsed if my ticket was VIP and were unable to scan it. They asked me to step to the side where some chick decided to bump me with her rear because I was in her way yelling at me “I’m working here!”.
“Hey sorry they told me to stand here”.
Squirrely Gurl and I beelined it to the VIP section and the shortest beer line to then duck into a tent to get out of the rain.
The beer went fast and we needed to warm up. We got more checked out the food in the VIP section but passed. We got more beer and ventured out. That didn’t last long cause we needed more beer so back into the VIP section we went. On our way we checked the lineup and the times and noticed Scythian was playing in the VIP section in about 30 minutes.
As we were drinking our beer we enjoyed the sights around us. I had enough beer at this point to stop people for pictures. Like this big balled fellow:
Then I noticed this guy with an extra short kilt. I hadn’t even noticed his shirt until Squirrely Gurl pointed it out. But then I had to show my shirt so I unzipped and then went to unzip the next jacket as he said, “Oh Yeah! keep going!”
There was the HOT, bearded leprechaun twins.
All kinds were at Shamrockfest.
And then there was SCYTHIAN! I have not seen them live in such a long time. I can’t believe I’d forgot how they ROCK the house.
Then they played “Gypsy Fiddle”. Leks can bring you to tears when he plays this.
The crowd seems to agree!
Can’t wait til Scythian makes some regular appearances back here in D.C. I know I’ll be checking their website for upcoming shows.
It was cold and rainy so it was difficult to show off my St. Patty’s shirt so I was sure to get a picture of it.
I kinda look like an Irish Snookie, eh?
We found more great outfits on our way back to the beer truck.
After we got a refill we were hanging out when Squirrely Gurl says, “I think I found my favorite. There’s an Asian guy with a frog umbrella.”
“OMG! That’s JOE!!!!”
I haven’t seen Joe in years, but what was most unusual to me was I had just gotten rid of the EXACT same umbrella just earlier that day when Purple Heart picked up my donated items.
Squirrley Gurl and I agreed we were done and worked our way out. We stopped for a bite on our way and experienced a reunion of sorts when these two found each other right in front of me and under Squirrley Gurl’s umbrella.
As we walked out we were very glad to be going. We were soaked to the bone and wet jeans just aren’t a lot of fun.
All things considered we had a blast. We didn’t see as many acts as I would have liked but Scythian satisfied my thirst.
Shamrockfest is an experience that must be had by all!!
Póg mo thóin!

in Mini Red
I recently bought one of those Bounce Dryer Bar thingies you stick on the inside of your dryer. Seems it’s not working so well… At least not with static cling.
Mini Red is now in High School and back in the Fall she joined the crew team. Crew really agrees with her and she is now friends with a great group of kids. Plus the parents are FANTASTIC. This is the first group of parents I have become friends with and I’m now on a good portion of the committees for the crew team.
So back in the Fall she learned all about crew and even raced in one regatta in Occoquan. I was so proud and seems she could even hear me yelling as she was in the middle of the water crossing the finish line. Crew is doing something for her that I have never seen before and I love it.
The Winter has been too cold to be out on the water so they have been doing Winter Conditioning at the school and using the erg machines. Her blisters and calluses are impressive to say the least.
This week the kids have been going back out to the boat house. Monday the novices had to go take their swim test before going to the boat house. Of course Mini Red passed with flying colors since she has a background in swimming. Afterwards they all dried off and got on their spandex and cold gear to head to the boat house. That’s when Mini Red noticed it… Static cling and Mom’s underwear stuck to her spandex.
Evidently, she started yelling or screaming or something of that nature. She explained to her friends that “MY MOM’S UNDERWEAR IS STUCK TO MY SPANDEX!”
Her friends didn’t seem to see what the big screaming deal was until Mini Red held them out and said, “It’s her THONG!!!”
