You can also expect, since we're close to St. Patrick's Day, a host of Irish jokes, many of which stem from her childhood growing up as the youngest of four girls in a blue-collar town outside Boston with grandparents straight from the Emerald Isle. "Only the Irish say we don't have drinking problems, but I've been the designated driver since I was 11," she said.
