Runaway October

Today is, as I am sure you are all aware, Saint Declan’s Day. If you would all kindly stop your feast­ing and merry-making to read my post, that would be great.

The ruins of St. Declan’s Church, seen over the flowers.

Any­one who’s ever met by blos­som­ing two year old ter­ror, Declan, knows that he is no saint. But he was unin­ten­tion­nally named after one — Saint Declan of County Water­ford. Although we had no inten­tion of cel­e­brat­ing St Declan’s day before he was born, it’s not every day that you have a feast day named after you. On top of that, through coin­ci­dence, I hap­pen to have a turkey defrost­ing in the refridger­a­tor. So… TONIGHT WE DINE IN… sorry wrong movie.

Tonight we shall we feast­ing in Declan’s name. Yay!

Five quick ones:
1.) When it comes to crafts and the com­puter, I have the oppo­site of a short atten­tion span. I lit­er­ally have to be dragged away some days.
2.) I hated hav­ing the same name as peo­ple grow­ing up, so I hope my kids don’t go through the same thing.
3.) I really want to raise Urban Chick­ens.
4.)  I’m extreeemely self-conscious. at all times. (I’ll just leave this one from E.)
5.) I worked at a fab­ric store while in High School and had almost no inter­est in sewing or craft­ing then.

Now it’s your turn Nicky, Sara, Juli­ette, DeAnna, and Amy.

 Manic Mon­day for July 21

What’s your favorite beach in the world?

I’ve actu­ally only been to a few beaches… The beach in San Diego was crowded, dirty and pretty much ghetto — not my first choice. The only other beach I’ve been to are the ones in Rocky Point, Mex­ico. So I’ll have to answer this ques­tion after I’ve trav­eled the world a lit­tle bit more.

What’s the next coun­try you want to visit?

Ire­land, hands down, though Ger­many, Bel­gium and Asu­trailia are all pretty evenly tied for second.

What one thing are you crav­ing today?

Does peace and quiet count? Or a maid? I am crav­ing a meal that some­one else cooks for me and cleans up after­wards. Or a prime rib from Out­back, I always crave those. Or Honey Hot chicken wings from The Vine. I should prob­a­bly go cook din­ner now.
