Well Ireland is a small place with only just over 4 million of us, yet we claim 40 million Irish Americans claiming Irish roots including 23 American presidents. Other noteables are James Cagney, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney, John Ford, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Grace Kelly, Tyrone Power, and Spencer Tracy, Ed Sullivan etc etc.. Am just mentioning this by way of associating with those of you who are celebrating this weekend.... May your sense of all that is good about your brilliant Country and community be profound and lasting.
When I was a wee boy, all I ever wanted to do when I 'grew up' was to go to america, become a cowboy, wear the hat and live the American way. Someday I'll try to live that dream with a ranch holiday! HAPPY 4th OF July ... everyone.
This strange woman called me into the bedroom last night.. when I arrived, this gorgeous creature modelled tops and trousers that she had but which were unwearable only a few short months ago... Holy Wow.. Holy feckin' Wow.. she has lost her first stone now (14lbs) and is looking magnificent..what a difference those inches make, never mind the lbs - and there is a glow from within, a real confident happiness that only comes from positive achievement - its a wonderful thing and ya HAVE to count your blessings don't ya when ya have them.
Other than that, I am kinda glad to get this week out of the way.. difficult hungerwise, and really stressful on the work front.. its not easy being a small family firm when yer up against the might of the multinationals with their wads of cash.. the feckers..(am I "fecking" too much - its what we DO over here!!). So onward and upward to a glorious weekend I say.. Enjoy the hol.. see ya Monday.

I would be one of the 40 million (and not just on St. Patrick's Day). How exciting for your wife (and apparently you). I am so happy for her. Every time someone uses the word stone now I don't think of rocks. Although comparing stone rock wise seems like a larger loss than comparing to pounds of butter. Random though over. When your ready for that holiday in the USA I'm sure you will have many offers for a place to stay and will get to experience the diversity of this great country. Shameless bragging and bid for tourism dollars over.
Thank you so much for your support eatlier. Not quite on track but my daughter sat me down and had a talk with me so I'm a little better.
You can always join us in spirit this holiday by firing up the grill, getting drunk and blow up a lot of money. That may not be all we do, but it's all I remember. Have a great weekend.

I'm sure your wife appreciated the added light in your eyes when she modeled for you! I think that would be even more of a payoff for losing weight than the "new" clothes or the numbers on the scale going down. Congratulations to your wife, and to you for being such a good husband! I hope work gets better for you. Take care!

Unlike the wise juanab, I can't help but think of rocks when you say "stones". I thinks that they would use boulders for me. :0

Sorry work has been so stressful for you Davey! Hope next week is better. But at least you get to go home to that gorgeous wife of yours! Congrats to Sarah on getting into that wardrobe and even more importantly the gained confidence and glow! Have a great weekend! :)

You are lucky when you arrived in the bedroom that the "strange" women was your wife! Do you have any idea what Sara's reaction would be if she found out that you listen to what "strange" women want you to do???? Come on over, Dave my friend, there is a pair of boots and cowboy hat waiting for you, I bet you would look good, maybe even daring, in black hat and shirt and tight jeans! yes, cowboys wear tight jeans! well maybe not John Wayne, but George Strait does!

noooooooo, I don't think you're 'feckin' too much! LOL In fact, the last sentence in which you used it was hilarious! (oh! and appropriate!) You made me smile when you described your wife...you must truly make her feel wanted and loved! No doubt you are a wonderful father and husband! It's no wonder I like you Davey!
