St. Patrick’s Day 2008
Monday, March 17th

As many of you may have heard, the Catholic Church has moved Saint Patrick’s Day to Saturday, March 15th due to a scheduling conflict with Holy Week (the week of Easter). More details can be found here: http://www.stpatsassoc.org/

Having two celebrations for St. Patrick’s Day sounds fantastic and I hope you

"Scheduling conflict with Holy Week" Haha! Is that allowed? I can understand why God wouldn't want drinking during such a sorrowful time. ~_^

Don't people have to, like, work on Monday? I'm so confused. Here in Grenada, we don't believe in St. Patrick's Day, so we have to work.

I thought you'd get a kick out of the scheduling conflect. ;)

Nate and I always take the day of and day after St. Patrick's day off of work. So far we have a group of 8 going with us for the entire day. We've made it a tradition.

What a great tradition, and what an awesome idea with the taking off of work! A couple years ago, I gave up alcohol for Lent. St. Patrick's Day was very not fun.

rumor has it that i *might* be able to get the day off now...another co-worker that i frequently swap shifts with told me she may be able to cover mine upon our routine monday-bitchfest in regards to the scheduling...fingers crossed...i'll keep you posted :) xoxo

That would be wonderful! I hope it all works out and you're able to make it. We've got a good group of people coming together. It's going to be a lot of fun. If you can't make it all day, be sure to call us when you can meet up. We'll let you know where we're at. :)

Nate and I are still planning to stop by with Annabelle on Tuesday. So, if your schedule changes and you don't work that day either, let us know.

yay! i'll be in surgery on tuesday from 8am until were done (scheduled until 2, but its my team-efficiency day so were usually done by noon, pending emergencies/etc), so generally speaking anytime between 12-2 should be fine, but i'll keep you posted once the surgery schedule is sorted & closer to the date :) it was super good to see you guys last week & either way, we should work on less time in between hanging out! :) xoxo

[jennycubed]

Prefect! That gives us enough time to sleep in and slowly make our way to uptown. :)

Word to less time in between hanging out. I completely agree!! Nate keeps talking about how he really enjoyed sitting at the bar and catching up with you. :)

I'm counting down the days. P.S. Monica took the day off to join us. Don't get to excited though. We'll see if she follows through.

I'm beyond excited that you'll be joining us for the day. I'll hold back my excitement about Monica until I actually see her celebrating with us. :)

Get ready for some irish car bombs!
