Today was an exhausting day. Like usual, we (Nicole and I) awoke with the sun because the blind guy went MIA with our blinds. Today we didn't mind waking up early because we had big plans. This morning at 9:30 Rachel, Allie, Drey, Kelley, Nicole and I had planned to have a little family breakfast before the festivities started at noon. We made choco chip pancakes, cut up fruit and eggs. It was so delicious. After breakfast we started our celebration of St. Patrick's Day just as how the Irish would do it. We were so happy because the weather app told us it was going to pour today but the sun was shining bright and sunny. About 10 minutes before leaving for the parade which was at noon, the cloud opened up and poured...needless to say we did not make it to the parade :( sorry Grammy. While waiting for the rain to stop I facetimed Zac and Steph, wow I was so happy to see those two. After the rain calmed we as a group decided to head over to Scruffy Murphy's an Irish backpacker bar to check out the scene it was not our type of place so we decided to go get burgers at Grill'd. Let me tell you, the bacon cheese burger I consumed today was the most magical burger I have had here so far (mainly because its the only burger I've consumed). After lunch it was already 4:00 pm so we headed home but managed to see a organized protest about the government going on. They were walking up and the street with cop cars leading, we thought it was the St. Patrick's Day parade and got excited but it most definitely was not, rookie mistake. We played music and I cleaned up a little and then I ended up on my bed and taking a cat nap. This cat nap was longer than expected but much needed. I woke up to the fuse blown again and our food was melting in our fridge. I sent a strongly worded email to Christian about how this needs to be fixed ASAP. This is ridiculous seeing as how we woke up this morning to a blown fuse, also. There is no need for the fuse to be blowing since no appliances are being used when sleeping. Sorry for that rant but anyways after waking up I was able to FaceTime with Jordan whose all the way back in Tampa. After that I decided to make pasta, 3 meals in one day who do I think I've become??? The rest of the night was just relaxing and doing a little homework assignment that is due on Wednesday. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day so after my night class the girls and I decided we are going to walk to the Opera House because they turn it green to celebrate. I hope the weather is warming up for all of you! Love ya so much :-*
PS. Sorry Mom and Rick I blew out the converter with my straightener so tomorrow first thing on my agenda in my 3 hour gap between classes is to go buy one, oopsies
