Hey ladies,

I’ve taken myself to theme out the next holiday (St. Patty’s!) for our crew. I just realized with the exception of Jen, all of us are single and nowhere near getting married (but also, you never know!), so why not use this time in our lives to go big and never go home.

Mingling in March = our St. Patty’s. It’ll be like college again except the guys we end up sleeping with may actually be able to afford to take us out for brunch in the morning.

I want to #tbt this entire holiday so that means partying like it’s 2002!

Places we can go:

– Hoboken (NJ but cute meathead guys)

– Murray Hill (no explanation needed)

– UES (younger dudes just out of college, hot)

Acceptable outfits:

– Anything green

– Cute makeup

– HAIR

– Shamrock stickers?

– Wristlets (coach???)

I think it will be so fun. Ugh, you girls keep me so young LOL.

ALSO did we want to talk about doing a weekend at Jen’s husband’s parent’s beach house in Boca??? Jen is that still an option??? Let me know if you want me to text your in-laws. What are their names again?

xx,

katie <3

Hi Ladies!

You all are so cute! Normally Dave and Margie would l-o-v-e to have you ladies out to their place in Boca, but unforch they just closed it up for the winter reno! From what I hear, it’s a TOTAL disaster already — apparently importing the original beams from the pub in Margie’s ancestral village in Ireland is a complete nightmare in terms of shipping! So stressful.

BUT BIG NEWS! (deep breath!)

Brad and I are gonna start trying…to buy a condo! I’m really trying to not get my hopes up, but I am just so ready!! I can’t wait till you girls are married and you’ll have the benefit of all my experience, but for now I am so, so super booked up with open houses and meeting with condo boards and designers. Obviously it’s so tough to find a Manhattan apartment with a kitchen big enough to fit all our KitchenAid mixers!

Anyway, let me know the plans, but no promises lol!

xoxo.

I love St. Pattys!!! I vote for UES or Murray Hill! I could never date a guy who lives in Hoboken LOL. My parents met on St. Patrick’s Day (or was it Purim??) and I have a good feeling about this one!

Irish guys are sooo adorbs! I LOVE the accent and how they bottle their feelings inside, sooo cute!

What if we wore wifebeaters with green bras?? I LOVE Shamrock shakes!!! IAMSOEXCITEDICANTEVEN

Hi Ladies!

Miss you girls like woah! I vote for a darty (noun: daytime party). Should I text the Josh’s? I think we should all do matching “Kiss Me I’m Irish” tanks. So cute and it will make us stand out!

Sorry I’ve been so crazed :/ I’ve been thinking about applying to MBA programs, and that’s taken up a lot of my time. Part of me is thinking about Wharton (IVANKA!), then the other part is thinking I should just apply to Vanderbilt so I can have that Southern Sweet Home Alabama experience. Or Princeton to meet my husband like that WSJ article recommended? So tough. In any case, I wouldn’t leave till fall of ’15 at the earliest, so we could have a full year to do it up and wish me a bon voyage!!

But St. Paddys. I’m down for wherevs– I saw Mike RSVP’d to some party on facebook, should we all show up to that one? Looked fun! Ugh but I also saw he retweeted the Ellen selfie, so I’m kinda turned off by him too :(

besos.

I still think we should try hoboken to be more cultured? i dont think ive ever been to nj and st. p’s is like their big holiday.

it’s like how times square does new year’s minus the adult diapers and being sober.

also i don’t think we should go to mike’s but that’s just me????????

Ladies,

I feel like we’re not really acting like we want to even go out on St Patrick’s and/or hang out with each other. Is everyone okay? It’s nearly Spring so no one can blame this on seasonal depression. Plus we just moved the clocks forward.

I don’t want to feel snubbed. Is anyone mad at me? I just wanna be mature about this.

Katie– I think this is a GREAT idea. We love you! I didn’t write back right away cause I got sucked into a vortex of Upworthy!

Ok, Hoboken would be fun, cause ADVENTURE. Let’s do it!!!! Let’s branch out and try something new! Does anyone if there’s a Brother Jimmys in Hoboken??

Logistics:

There’s either a bus from Port Authority leaving at 1:07, 1:12, or 1:18. Personally I think we should take the 1:07, but speak now ladies if another time works better.

Everyone please buy the “Kiss Me I’m Irish” tank at Forever 21. It is the one with BLACK lettering (NOT silver!!!!!). Please get the BLACK lettering or this won’t work!! The Forever 21 on 34th Street has 7 tanks left, so I STRONGLY recommend you stop by TONIGHT. (They close at 9p). The tank is on the second floor right next to the “my boyfriend can beat your boyfriend up” sweatshirts. PLEASE text me after you bought the tank!!

I will have shamrock stickers! I bought them myself– if you want you can pay me back, but it’s only like .75/per person, so you can just buy me a drink instead!

Hi Ladies!

Just a very friendly FYI you can kick me off these email chains because I’m married haha jk! But as I said — won’t be able to join bc I’m going to Brad’s parents’ house and Home Goods. We got a ZipCar (maybe I mentioned already?)

Anyway have fun and no need to reply to me to let me know you got this :)

Ha no prob! Honestly it’s the least I can do :)

It was so like…well, I wouldn’t say I was JEALOUS that you guys were in Hoboken for St. P’s and like livin it up because I am definitely glad that chapter of my life is over but I will say you guys just make the best of everything.

Honestly I am so in awe of you. I got into bed next to Brad last night and I was like…even though we’re so boring and go to Home Goods and are like old married people, I am so happy that like, we’re boring together and that’s all that matters because we’re partners and were fulfilled. And he agreed. Guess our St. P’s days are behind us! Ha! I can live through you though :)

Anyway must pencil in a brunch or cocktails soon!
