St Patrick's Day Plans?

[Bluedaisy]

Anyone doing anything fun?

We're making Guinness stew, Guinness Chocolate cake and possibly watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People

I "ran" a St Patrick's day themed race yesterday. Nothing planned for Tuesday though.

We were visiting Chicago so we saw them dye the river green yesterday and avoided drunken fools the rest of the day. No plans for actual st. Pat's.

We always go out for irish food as an office at work, but other than that nothing too exciting. DD is recovering from a stomach virus and i started feeling really crappy today.

Wow and I felt good for going for my first walk with the dog for months (it's been grossly icy here).

I'm jealous.....it's super nerdy but I'd love to see that!

Bluedaisy I have my first dog walk in months planned for after work tomorrow. We'll see if she makes it off our street! I'm going to be impressed with myself no matter the outcome.

I'm making corned beef and cabbage for St pat's as usual. My polish DH loves any excuse to have cabbage. I hate the way it stinks up the house.

We took it pretty easy, only a few blocks.  Last summer we were walking about 10km a day....I actually think that our dog helped get me much healthier which was a factor in getting pregnant.  I'm really missing the exercise.

Is Darby O'Gill on television or are you "renting" it?  I checked last week on Amazon and it's not prime and I keep forgetting to check the television schedule.



We're doing corned beef and colcannon (my favorite way to use cabbage), irish soda bread, and shamrock shakes.

I'm so glad you posted about this.  Just got home and it made me remember to check the television.  It's on TONIGHT!  So I set my DVR to record it.

I am making corned beef and cabbage for the first time. I'm pumped!

Oh also my students are building leprechaun traps and then the leprechauns will be "visiting" by coming and messing up the room!

St. Pat's Day is DH's 30th birthday! I'm going to decorate the house and make him cake and dinner for when he gets off of work. I'll also dress DD up in all things green and adorable.

Courtesy of my Protestant Irish heritage...we have a tradition of mischievous leprechauns who visit each year
Last year they made a huge green silly string mess in DS's room, and of course left scattered coins around the house (the chocolate kind, because it's leprechaun money lol). DH enjoys the alcoholic side of things, too, but DS and I do the sober stuff

My boss just asked me if I am going to the St Patty's day lunch, because I am pregnant I might not be going.  I am confused, how does me being pregnant mean that I can't eat Irish food?  He was hoping I wasn't going so that I could call into some conference call for him, but still.  Bizarre.
