ST PATTY'S DAY ROCKED SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED being with family and friends and students and people of awesomeness!!! And I'm pretty sure I decimated most of the cookies we packed along with us... hehehehe (One of the things I love about Irish Dance, we can eat lots of cookies without guilt. I don't know why that is, I just declare it to be so!)
The nice thing this year is that I felt like I could probably go longer, except for my feet which hurt like CRAZY! But ignoring the feet, I could've done a lot more I think. Course, ignoring the feet wouldn't have gotten myself that far... :D But yeah, St Patty's Day could've been just a little longer... I don't know about Friday tho. We had one performance on Friday, and it went really well, mentally we were all toast, but physically, once we got our shoes tied and started dancing, it was really fun!
Oh, and someday I need to blog about the Weiser Museum... because that place is epic. That place DEFINES epic. And it's cool too. :D So I'll get on that eventually!
I was just out prepping the raised beds so we can start in on the GARDEN!!! Spinach is going to be planted in one, and the other I got ready because I was out there anyways. I also cleaned out the spaces around the strawberries, and they seem to be all ready to spring up and be happy! YAY!!!!!!
The IDI Community site is going to be AMAZING!!!!!!! I figured out permissions FINALLY and that... was AWESOME!!!!! XD And you know what's really funny? After all this time learning Drupal 6, I was all ready to get in and GO with Drupal 6. I had this little thought, "Well hey, isn't Drupal 7 almost out?" and then I thought "Yeeeeah... huh. I wonder what would be better, the newest one, or the one I just learned?" So I puzzled about that for a bit, then I decided that it would probably be better to stick with Drupal 6. And then I decided it didn't matter since I probably wouldn't have a choice in the matter... :D So I went to download it to the web server (a trippy experience, I hadn't done that before) and LO AND BEHOLD! There was Drupal 7! AVAILABLE! FOR PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD!!! So I downloaded it anyways. I'm a sucker for new technology, and it only made sense since Drupal 7 would be the norm anyway. Why upgrade later when I could start it upgraded?
And now I must get steps on Vimeo so I can actually have some video content to play with! And I have to figure out Views... which I'm a little scared of. I got it working tho, which was another thing I was scared of, so I should just jump in and do it. But now it's time for dance. Until next time!

TEHE
YEEEEEEEEEEAH... 8 MORE DAYS 'TILL ST PATTY'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the significance? To an Irish Dancer, this is like, huge enormous Marathon day. To me, it's a fun-filled day of awesomeness where each year I get to see how much longer I can go without keeling over! XD haha just kidding, I don't plan on keeling over this year! I remember one St Patty's day, I think the 3rd one in, we rented some of the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road shows, and then we ordered Papa Johns pizza. We ate the pizza, and then odorF fell asleep, after sitting on her bed for a second. She later woke me up at around 2 in the morning and asked if we'd been asleep long, and what happened. It didn't matter that she missed the movies though, because we all eventually turned them off and zonked out too! :D
I'm super grateful we don't have the early morning news this year, I guess it counts as sleeping in that the first performance we have is at 9 this year on the 17th! haha!
Anyway, keeling over normally happens AFTER everything is over, and we're s'posed to go to sleep at that point, so it's all good. Speaking of which, it's about past time for me to go to sleep now! Busy day of lots of teaching tomorrow, which is obviously going to be a BLAST!
Fun memories. (: I'm allowed to skip down memory lane, this'll be my 11th St Patty's Day as an Irish Dancer!
I laugh though, because although the dancing is a huge part of it, to me, St Patty's Day represents so much more. Family, friends, teamwork, love, and gratitude. I'm so thankful that I've been able to dance with my marvelous family these years! Mom and Dad have been through each St Patty's Day with all of us, and each time it's a hugely rewarding experience. And to be joined by some of the most amazing people ever on the way has been a wonderful thing! I love my friends and students so much! And to see them work so hard to learn everything they need to, and then perform it brings happiness and joy to my heart! And to work with them is an honor and privilege. Yes, St Patty's Day is in 8 days, and I'm SOOOO EXCITED!!!
