St. Patrick's Day

Well, admittedly this last St. Patrick's Day wasn't as cool as last year's St. Patrick's Day when I got to go to a lecture by Barry Cunliffe, but it was still a pretty eventful day. W and I started the day off right with green pancakes and green milk to wash them down. Then we got a lucky phone call that we weren't expecting for another month or two, telling us that our car was fixed! So a very nice friend of mine let me borrow her car so that W and I could go to all of the places that we needed to get to before 5 pm! We had to go to the mechanic and get the certificates for the safety and emissions tests that needed to be done to register our car, the bank so that we could get the money that we'd been saving for the car, the DMV so that we could register the car, back the the mechanic to get the car, and then to school to get a parking permit. After that we put gas in our car and in my friend's car and came back home. We had bubble and squeak for dinner, it's an Irish dish that has cabbage, onions and potatoes in it. We also had lime jello, pistachio pudding, o'douls, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. We finished up our night with the "Lucky Charmed" episode of the series "Charmed" and one of our favorite movies, The Quiet Man. Overall it was a good day, even if I didn't wash clothes or dishes and W didn't get more work on his thesis done.
