My little Irish dancer came home from school sick with a fever yesterday, so I never got a chance to post Day 9 of 17 Days of Irish…however, it all works out – since a sick kid at home knocks my schedule into the trash I can sit here, drink a mug of coffee as…
My “meeting” of tomorrow’s Monday Muse – the first and I certainly hope not last – of 2011, occurred on FaceBook. It all came about in a rather crazy way, and it just goes to show you how things can kind of just happen. Flipping through my local newspaper one day last spring, I caught…
Aside from green, the one color that goes with St. Patrick’s Day is, well, all of them. I’m talking rainbows! Why are rainbows such a part of St. Paddy’s Day? Is it because of the legendary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Or the fact that the crazy March weather with its…
Welcome to day 5 of 17 days of Irish. Today we get a bit of a history lesson. Many Americans “become” Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, and some (like me) have anywhere from a jigger to a pint of Irish blood in us, yet celebrate like we are the full keg. As Americans, I guess…
1. Seeing as many websites and blogs host their giveaways on Friday, I often include links to a giveaway or two on the FFF.

1. If you have read the last few posts o’ mine – you may have noticed the area in which I reside was bombarded with a heckuvalot of snow. And woo-hoo! We are supposed to get more this weekend! I don’t know where the snow is going to go…but I fear it may still be…
Well, it’s official. Miss A’s school closed early today and canceled school for tomorrow as well. By tomorrow morning we are supposed to be buried under the worst snow storm in 40 years. Oh the hyperbole! But, since I’m now stuck at home with a husband “working” from home tucked away in his office upstairs,…
I had completely forgotten about this little bit of wifely assistance I performed for my husband until he mentioned it recently. I forget what about our conversation prompted him to recall the story, but he said something to the effect of, “You know, like that time I had you sew underwear on Dilbert.” Now, you’d…
1. The new Harry Potter movie came out today! The husband and I will have to schedule a date night (hopefully in the next month) to go see it together. We rarely go to the movies, it’s almost an annual thing…we went for all the new Star Wars movies, of course. Then for all 3…
1 – It’s my birthday this weekend! I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE PRESENTS!!! I adore getting gifts. To my credit I also get a kick out of giving gifts as well. One of the neat things this year is all the birthday freebies I’m getting! So far, here is what I…
