Feast!

Jul

Awesome, you came back!! Thanks for visiting!

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!

100 0003 Feast!

I’ve been tagged by Elizabeth so here’s goes.

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names, linking to them.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.

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.
