Luck o' the Day!

I am a bit tired and a little bit sunburned on my forehead and nose!  Ooops!  I was thrilled to finally make it downtown for the St. Patrick's Day parade (though we still have a couple days till St. Patrick's Day, Denver did go all out for the parade yesterday).  A friend has been inviting me for years to hang out at her family's large street party, and after cold weather and lame excuses in years past, I went to bed a little early and planned my travels to take full advantage of the fun.  The bike ride to Jennifer's warmed me up, and I locked my bike up there to reunite at lunch time.  The mall ride got ridiculously crowded, but we were all trying to get to the parade route before it started and would block our access across the street.  I saw friends from Metro CareRing days and bookclub.  It was fun to talk to everyone, but even sillier was getting tipsy before noon - Guiness after Guiness!  My goo'ness!  I hadn't figured on the sun, so I was a bit red in the face when I made it to 1 o'clock brunch at Jennifer's.  Even better, Tom had driven his truck to escort me and my bike home for a long nap and hydration.  All in all, I am ready to do it again!
