St. Patrick's Day isn't really on my "holidays to celebrate" list. Wearing green is the extent of my involvement. But this year I decided it was at least a good excuse to get friends together. Brandon and Becca came over and we watched "Boondock Saints." How Irish is that for ya?
I had some Irish coffee cake from the place I work at and brewed up some coffee. It wasn't the greatest cup of joe I've ever brewed but it was passable. To top it off with some Irish flavour I put about 3 teaspoons of Bailey's.
Contradictory to what I just wrote, I don't drink. I might try a sip from a friend's drink if offered or I'm curious, but I don't order alcohol. Once I had a concrete reason to abstain, but now it's just habit as I try to find a strong, rock-solid conviction. (More on that later.)
The only reason I had some was to satisfy my curiosity. I don't and won't apply this to every curiosity I have, but this one seemed OK. It was a mini bottle and I only had part of it. Definitely not enough to get me plastered. St. Patty once again gave me a decent excuse. Sorry I seem like such a conformist.
I don't plan on drinking; it's not really for me and it's just something else to spend money on. I also don't want it to somehow get out of hand, or with my luck have it be "that one time" when something happens to me.
Anywho, hope you had a happy St. Patrick's Day. Now to figure out a "constructive" use for the rest of the Bailey's.
