...So apparently it's St. Patrick's Day. I hadn't even given it a second thought. At home, when I was younger, Dad would take me and sometimes Catie along to the Gilfoils' St. Patrick's Day party at their apartment. I'm not sure why they had such a big party for it every year, but they did. Dad and I used to 'perform' at those, and do our "Rindercella" bit. For those who don't know, it's called 'spoonerism'. Know how when you look at yourself in a spoon, your image flips upside down? Well, this is the same thing, but with words. So instead of Cinderella, the story is called Rindercella, and the first line of the story goes "A tong lime ago in a coreign fountry..." You figure it out. I'd learned the whole thing by the time I was eight or nine and Dad and I would do it together sometimes in situations like that.

Grrr, the First Responder course at UF starts on 6 July - too early!!! (But thanks for calling them, Mom.) It has to be after 23 July, and preferably after 6 August since it's not nice to be running all around the state while I have guests. But anyway, so I need help. I can't take it at UF so it has to be UNF, FCCJ, or the Red Cross in Jacksonville, or Santa Fe in Gainesville. But nobody has dates posted and no one is answering my e-mails. HELP! It can't be THAT hard to find a class... I mean, I'm going to dump six hundred dollars into their lap, it should be easier to find than this!

Yay for Marco Borsato. I'm going to bed now so I can be up early and waiting in front of MediaMarkt to get the new DVD. Wheeeeee!!!
