A ROLLER SKATING JAM NAMED...

Saturday!  Finally, the weekend. And exactly one week until the 4th Annual Sisters St. Patrick's Day Spectacular.
You see, it all began 4 years ago when Sassy and I decided to go to Newport for the weekend and check out their annual parade.  Newport is full of Irish folk, so we figured it would be pretty bitchin', as Carlos Estevez would say.  We also intended to look for dresses for Sassy, for her upcoming Zuckerland nuptials.  While on the hunt for dresses, we discovered something that would make this a trip we would take every year - SALES.  Lots and lots of sales.
In Newport, they sort of consider the parade weekend as the official end of winter.  So all the stores get rid of their winter stock to make room for summer gear.  And they do this by marking everything down, drastically.  Most stores had 70% off, while one store we went to was selling everything in the place for $10.  Sassy picked up a dress there and we joked about how funny it would be if she wore a $10 wedding gown.  She didn't wear it, but who cares?  It was ten dollars!
We're both really looking forward to this weekend, and there may a special guest this year, depending on how brave (or stupid) I feel.
