I was going to do a birthday post but then I remembered that I Twittered my way through my birthday week and I really have nothing more to add!
Oh, maybe I do have one more thing to say…thank you for all the birthday wishes and Twitters and presents! You guys are the bestestes.
Me digging into presents at my fourth birthday party.
Please note the fancy pants.
It was a big week and this is a great Four Foods on Friday! First, it was St. Patrick’s Day, then it was my birthday, and green is my favorite color!
1. What’s your favorite green food?
Definitely, peas.
2. Do you eat anything special on St Patrick’s Day?
Corned beef and cabbage!
3. Do you drink any Irish beverages – tea, coffee, ale, beer, etc?
Do shamrock shakes count? I haven’t had one in years but I remember them being quite tasty.
4. Share a recipe for corned beef.
My mom is in charge of the corned beef preparation. Vienna has the beef packaged with all the spices, ready to simmer.
The last few days have been absolutely beautiful outside. The temps have ranged from 60 to almost 75 degrees with lots of sunshine. We even headed to the beach to take our dog for a walk along the shoreline, and along the way we saw lots of motorcycles out enjoying the first warm weekend.
Of course, after we passed the first few motorcycles, Mike said that we needed to get a bike, which means he’d be part of the metric motorcycle community, which is all about cruiser customizing. A place for bikers to discuss their rides, and share pictures and videos.
The first thing Mike would add to the bike? A sidecar for our dog.
Can you believe that I’ve never seen my husband all dressed-up in a suit and tie? Not even on the day we got married, which was super casual becuase we eloped in Las Vegas.
I think it would be really nice to see him all dressed to the nines. Especially since I’ve found the Best ties at BJ Brand New Ties that match some of my new summer dresses! Made from 100% silk in some of the prettiest and most vibrant colors you’ll find, their selection begs for a night out on the town.
As much as he tries to act all rugged, Mike loves nice things and enjoys getting cleaned up and going out to a nice dinner, and if a new tie can accomplish all that, I say it’s worth the puchase!
We bought a sheet of Costco cupcakes to celebrate the March birthdays in our family (including my own!), and they are taunting me in the fridge…absolutely huge, with the best whipped buttercream frosting ever, and just sweet enough to require a cold glass of milk.
Surprisingly, there’s only 257 calories in a Costco cupcake (if my source is correct), but I’m not considering that a green light to have one for dinner. Maybe a late night snack, but definitely not dinner.
