Me Lucky Charms

I know, I know, y'all haven't seen me since Wednesday, because I have been too busy having fun. I found a new appreciation for St. Pat's, mainly because I think I had the most fun this year as I ever have.

Me and PB dressed up in our green and went to pancake day at the Boys and Girls Club!

There are few things I get so sentimental about. First (and most obviously, if you read this blog with any frequency), I am all about some pancakes. I once ate 24 pancakes and at least half a pound of bacon at the Tri Delt pancake dinner in college. And that's an actual figure, not an exaggeration, I swear.

But further, I just love the Boys and Girls Club. I worked there for a summer, and I truly can't think of a time in my life when I was any happier. I got paid to work at summer camp out in the country, which meant being in charge of about 30 kids at a time while we went fishing, swimming, canoeing, and nature walking. There were a lot of people who hated their jobs that summer, but I've never had so much fun.

I love being back there though, because it just makes me feel like I'm back in that summer, with nothing to worry about, having as much fun as I ever had.



I tried to capture the huge gym full of people behind me, because the whole community always comes out in full force to support the club. I can't even tell you how that gives me the warm fuzzies.

We met up with T and J at the club, along with another couple, and we went out for St. Patty's day after pancake night!

We ended up at Joe's, a little sports bar I used to spend lots of time in (back in the Boys and Girls Club days) but that I haven't been back to in forever. We had so much fun just having a few beers and talking.




After the fried pickles I ordered at the beginning of the night were long gone, J had the good thought to order nachos. The waitress told us it'd be awhile because they had a ton of orders, so we said no thanks. But then, surprise, she came out with the most glorious bowl of nachos I've seen in a long time. Nachos never tasted so good.




See? This was about 5 minutes after they were delivered.

How did you celebrate St. Patty's? Hope it was lovely!
