Watch out for them there Irish

Well hell....the amount of time that has been lagging between my posts is just depressing, isn't it?

Pull together a little family drama, a brand spanking new job (THANK YOU, SWEET JESUS), and a whole bunch of other bullshit...you get the idea - less time, more action.

Anyway, it's almost that time of year again, the day that my liver cringes with agony at all of that overtime its having to put in...St. Patrick's Day.

I've always been told when growing up that one side of my family is German, and the other side is Irish.  But am I really sure of that? 

If you take a few Irish cliches and throw them at me, there are definitely some matches:


1.) Drinker (works for the German side too!)
2.) Pale and freckled
3.) Naturally curly reddish hair
4.) Spitfire/hot temper


(To name a few.)

But that, coupled with a few episodes of "Who Do You Think You Are?" has got me super curious as to where my family really originated. 

I foresee a genealogy project in my future.  Time to hit up some ancestry.com action!  I will be sure to keep you all posted on what I find.
