okay well... hello! i've been MIA the past couple of days, eh!?
yesterday was the Belmar/Lake Como St. Patrick's Parade.
so i headed over to meet up with the line up committee at 9am (mind you i had an ever so slight hangover from seeing the Bantry Boys at the Shillelagh clubhouse on saturday night...)
anyway, i get to the line up meeting and we had breakfast. then we all headed over to start lining the parade up.
had a blast - i really LOVE helping out with the line up and meeting folks and just making sure that this whole puzzle comes together (that's how i look at it... as a puzzle and trying to fit the pieces in properly.)
my section (Section B... whoooooop!) rocked! me and this woman Loretta worked it and we had everyone liked up perfectly, all of the groups and bands and everything were all present and accounted for.
I should've taken a lot more photos - but I was pretty busy. part of me thinks that next year i might bring my big ol' honking nikon down to the parade with me so i can get some great shots.
for now, all i brought was my 4 year old canon powershot (love it... but, it might be time for me to get a new lil' camera)
so... after the parade, i headed over to the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh Club to partake in some beverages. See, I was on my own yesterday pretty much because Jude had said she was going home and Fran was having a house party (which i'm sure was awesome, i just love crowds though and meeting folks on parade day)
so i went and ran into a ton of folks that i know and some who i haven't seen in a few years.
--- and i am getting progressively more intoxicated as the photos go on... of course, flickr has them posted with the drunkest first and then going to sober morning line up.)
so, i got home this morning at about noon and did some work but have been low key.
gigglemom is coming home on wednesday and you may have noticed that i haven't posted any photos of a sparkling clean house.
tuesday is cleaning like a nutcase day!!!
(my knees are KILLING me from walking up and down the parade line up and then all over belmar. and for some reason i have a sore muscle right below my left shoulder over top of my heart.... i woke up thinking "did i get kicked in the chest by a horse!!!?")
anyway... going to bed.
Whatchoosayin'?? (1 yapped)
good luck with the cleaning. ahhh, the irish, they rule.
