Oliver vs. college room-mate on St' Patty's day

Yesterday Oliver and I enjoyed our first St. Patrick's Day together. I was a little bummed to have the day off for a change, but I had to stay at home and watch Oliver all day. But, as the day wore on I realized that hanging out with Oliver on St. Patty's Day was pretty similar to hanging out with my old college room-mate on St. Patty's day. The major difference is when Oliver drinks he's drinking MILK, vs BEER for my old room-mate. Let's see how similar the two really are:

- Both get up early ready for a drink.

- After drinking just the right amount both get really excited, loose their 'inside voices' and then feel like dancing.

- Both throw up on themselves when they have drank and danced too much, but then they'll both get a second wind.

- Both babble on and on about something that I can't understand.

- Both get VERY cranky if not given enough to drink.

- Both think crawling after the dog is HILARIOUS actually they both think anything the dog does is HILARIOUS.

- If constant supervision is not there then both will get themselves into trouble.

- Both will eat solid food, if they have to, but what they both really want is another drink.

- At some point during the day both will have to take a couple of naps, cry about something and eventually pee on themselves, and possibly other people, requiring a change of clothes.

- And eventually, both will crash at about 730pm.

So, as you can see, my St. Patrick's Day celebrations really haven't changed since college. But, hanging with Oliver is much easier to handle and I feel much better the day after.
