Rachael's 30th St. Patrick's Day

I'm turning 30 on 3-17-12

It will be the 30th St. Patrick's Day that I will have been on the planet.

Everybody (almost) in the world raises a glass to me (Or St. Patrick. whatever).

I'll be celebrating this joyous event on Fremont Street in Las Vegas on Saturday March 17, 2012.

I love my birthday. I love St. Patrick's Day. We all know I love drinking. I love Fremont Street. I love my friends.

With these powers combined, we shall create: My 30th Birthday!

Please join me in making this particular St. Pat's amazing.

************************

Don't be frightened by "Vegas." Fremont Street is downtown/old Vegas and is much cheaper than the Strip as well as way better.

Cheap rooms. cheap drinks, cheap food and no cars (mostly).

Party paradise.

Please let me know what questions you may have.

*************************

And if you can't come; that sucks, but please be sure to have a pint in my name. xoxo

OverThyme

I'm making soup tonight. I love after Thanksgiving because they sell the turkey parts no one wants, like backs and necks. These parts make the best soup!

Tonight I have an actual thigh! It's huge and was only $3! This is exciting because it means there will be more meat in the soup. However, I just went to go stir my broth-in-process around and have found that I put too much thyme in it.

Thyme is necessary for soup - just is, but too much of it can really ruin one's boiled meal.

I tasted it and said, "Oh, I put way to much thyme in it. Oh well."

I'm doubtful it will turn out well, but what can I do?

Am I disappointed that my soup isn't good at the moment? Yes.

Is it done? No.

Is it going to take a while to finish? Yes.

Do I *really* know how it will turn out? No.

AM I just going to keep cooking till I can't cook no mo'? Yes.

I ate some chocolate chips, so I'm not starving or anything but let's consider my soup for a minute:

Take all of my soup questions and pretend it's not soup we are talking about.

Change all that soup bollocks to life.

Am I disappointed with my life at the moment? Yes.

Is it done yet? No.

Is it going to take a while to finish? Yes.

Do I *really* know how it will turn out? No.

Am I just going to keep livin' till I can't live no mo'? Yes.

I just thought of that right now.
