Best Part Of St. Patty's Day!

I feel like crap today.  Caught some kind of chest cold.  My head hurts.  My throat hurts.  My chest hurts.  I'm ready to take some Ny-Quil & pass out for the night.  But, before I do that, I wanna talk about something that makes me feel good.


I've never been one to really take part in what I call "The Excuse To Drink On A Weeknight Holidays."  Cinco De Mayo & St. Patrick's Day, are always filled with people who feel like it's not celebrated properly until they're puking their guts out, passing-out somewhere they may or may not be familiar with, then having some douche-bag, who calls themselves "your friend," write all over their face with a Sharpie.  No thanks, I'll pass.
With all that said, St. Patty's Day does hold a special place in my heart.  I am of Irish descent, so it's a day I can celebrate that.  It's also my Mother-In-Law's birthday.  But, most importantly, it's the one time of year that I get to enjoy one of my favortie treats.  Shamrock shakes!  Green, minty goodness, from McDonald's.  SInce I was kid, they have been something I've always looked forward to. I even loved the ad campaign that they had back then.  Grimace was my favorite friend of Ronald.  Or at least he was tied with The Hamburglar for that top spot.  But, what made the commercials great was the appearance of Uncle O'Grimacey.  A green Grimace!  How awesome is that!?!  I'll tell ya how awesome, really freakin' awesome!  This past Friday, I made my first McDonald's trip in maybe close to year, and treat myself to something my makes me feel like a kid all over again.  Mmmmmmm....  Shamrock shake.....
