well my weekend has been eventful
had a wonderful christmas
sunday mike dan and myself ventured up to wolfeboro, and apparently the state of massachusetts do not use plows, fucking crazy state, the roads were terrible and we only went 45mph all through the state, but thankfully new hampshire has a fleet of snow plows which they utilize, excellent
made it to karen and robs, around 7, karen had made a wonderful ham diner, i don't care for ham, but i ate it anyways it would have been an insult if i didn't. after diner we went up to the fun room or actually the fun three floors, their addition is coming along nicely they now have a new pool table on the second floor, and the ping pong table on the third floor, of couse it's more finished off since last year, and it's heated now, which is a major plus, but we played some pool some darts and watched some family guy...late nights always lead to early mornings, woke up pretty early monday morning..ate..and suited up for gunstock, but before we went to gunstock we had to meet up with dianne, brendon, norma and neil (karen and robs friends, now the ties here get a little sticky so bear with me, dianne works with rob at the hospital and brendon is dianne's husband and he's from ireland, norma is brendon's 22 yr old sister and she is visiting from ireland, this being her first time and neil is norma's boyfriend who is also from ireland, county cork to be exact, neil and brendon just met earlier for that day and we all just met them)now that this is straight, we headed for the mountain, had a great time, well just about as much as you're going to have skiing, i accidentally got on the wrong lift and went up to the very top of the mountain with a man from massachusetts i'd never met before so i couldn't freak out in front of, hahaha it sucked i decided i wasn't going up to the top ever again, the view was amazing my trip down was not, but at least i got to watch neil and norma go down the small hills. they'd never seen snow before so it was hilarious, espeically neil who had NO control what so ever and fell more times than i can count, but he managed to stop himself by doing a 180 turn. after about five freakin hours in the snow i was done, and karen rob and dianne had to attend a funeral so we ventured home to get ready for the festivities that were to be held later on that night, lori karen's sister was coming with her husband doug and two kids, it was doug's birthday so we were going to celebrate, let's just say that our new irish friends were not a disappointment hahah cussed like a sailer and drank like an ox. but by far my favorite...i love ireland, i learned new lingo from neil as well as how to count to 3 in gaelic, i don't remember how to count anymore, but my favorite part of the night was the blackberry brandy, brendon calls me over from the couch and hands me a shot glass, neil norma and doug were already doing shots and they told me to try it, now who is going to pass up doing shots with an irishman, never mind two and one woman, so i did a shot, not really thinking anything of it, but they were astounded that i didnt flinch, it was awful tasting stuff but it wasn't that bad, but they were so amazed that neil wanted to get it on tape, so they poured me another glass and i did a shot on tape, it was ridiculous, but they asked why i hadn't had anything to drink that night other than that so i told them that i didn't really want a beer, and that's all that they were drinking, and karen comes in and laughs that they gave me a shot and tells them i've only 17, they all looked at me like i had two freakin heads and were so surprised that i was so young, it was great, made my night, but yes it was like 2:30 before i got to bed, and i found out the next morning that norma had gotten sick but still kept drinking after she puked!!! they sang !!! and went home at 5 and still wanted to party
i love ireland
and everyone that lives there
well it was a great time
but i'm very glad to be home
oh and who knew that that the irish like the doors, not i
