Shamrock Shakes

St. Patrick's Day. One of my favorite holidays. Not because green is my favorite color. Not because I have some weird obsession with leprechauns (I spelled that right the first time...amazing), but because of one little thing offered every St. Patrick's Day- Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds. Imagine my excitement when my brother was coming down to give me a suitcase and said he would take me to get one...there was much joy and anticipation. I dutifully went to rock hard abs earlier in the day (ouch...they are not yet rock hard... more like... graphite hard), ate a nice dinner, and refrained from eating dessert.

He arrives and we set out to McDonalds. First one? Bust. They don't have 'em. So, me in my infinite wisdom said, "I know where another one is!" so we once again pile into his car and set out for the second McDonalds. We arrive and upon me asking "do you have shamrock shakes!?" like a little kid who is eagerly awaiting Christmas presents, I receive back word-coal..."no we ran out". How do you run out of Shamrock Shakes? I suppose I should back up and say that these are mint, green colored shakes from McDonalds. Amazing if you've never had one.

So. Me and my brother settled for McFlurry's... so unsatisfying after all that anticipation. Here's the life application for this though. Sometimes in life, things don't turn out how we think they will, but we just have to trust God that it's all in his plan. No I'm not talking about shakes anymore (I'm pretty sure God doesn't care if I drink one or not haha), but I'm talking about life events, such as me hearing from the RA people tomorrow if I got the position. I'm trusting God that he knows the best, and that if it doesn't turn out how I want, he's got the big picture and the bigger plan. So. Happy St. Patrick's day you guys, hope you got a shamrock shake even if I didn't!
Till next time, Jacks

Thought of the Day: When did words such as "frat" and "fayetteville" become adjectives? Take for example: "She's wearing nike shorts, chacos and a t-shirt. That's so fayetteville." Or, "his truck was so loud and obnixious. So frat."
