March 17

GO GREEN TODAY!!!!

HAPPY ST.PATRICK'S DAY!

(and Happy Birthday to Sherrie!!!!)

Are you wearing green???!! Green socks? Undies? Earrings? Come on!!! Green nail polish? Green icing under your chin? Green moustache from all that green beer?

I love St.Patrick's Day. Not sure why; I'm not Irish, I don't like beer, I'm not sure how to dance a jig, and I'm not really sure who St.Patrick is and why he only wears green. It's just a great day to celebrate.

Corey and I will be making our traditional jello jiggler shamrocks. This year instead of buying green jello we are mixing yellow and blue jello powders which hopefully will result in green jello. I know you will be undoubtedly checking here frequently and regularly throughout the day to find out how it all worked out and I will post as soon as we have the final result.

Even though you may be partaking in merry making it still is important to remember to ensure you are meeting your recommended daily calcuim requirements.. Therefore I have included a recipe that not only acknowledges the holiday but also includes a daily dose of calcium.

Shamrock Shake
1 oz Crème de Menthe
1/2 oz Vodka
1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream
Place in blender and mix at low speed until smooth.
Serve in a chilled glass with a sprig of mint to garnish.

Hope you all have a McWonderful Day!

...My Daily Giggle........ (March 16)



My new favorite comic strip is Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson. I am really enjoying the daily antics of Alice and her family and friends.
