The Obligatory Green

by Tiff

Ahhhh yes, more of the obligatory green is taking over your screen.  What else would you expect after St. Patrick’s Day?  I celebrated on Saturday instead of Sunday with a trip to the US National Whitewater Center.  Fun place.  Good beer.

We met up with friends, watched them dye the river green, and listened to Tim Reynolds.  ‘Twas a good day for jamming.

Kevin and I hit up Mexican on the way home for dinner.  Not festive, but yummy!

On Sunday, things were back to normal.  “Sunday Funday” is not a term often heard at this house.  Kevin completed a final exam while I cleaned out my closet.  It was a huge undertaking!

The last bit of celebrating was done at dinner.  I made Kevin roast cabbage, roast red potatoes, and corned beef.  I’m no corned beef fan, so I stuck with pasta.  Hey, at least the spinach was green, eh?

Now it’s back to workouts and veggies.  Bring on the week!

  • Did you celebrate St. Patty’s?  Did you at least wear green?

  1. Cute hat, and sounds like a fun weekend! We didn’t celebrate St. Patty’s. instead, we did load after load of laundry and caught up on sleep!

  2. No celebrations for me up here. I would have liked to get out and do something, but the weather was nasty as heck so I holed up at home and did a lot of baking instead. Win :) And ugh… I’m not looking forward to tackling my closet for spring cleaning!

  3. Corned beef just isn’t a thing in Canada (at least not where I live) but I want some! I’ve only seen corned beef deli meat – I’m assuming it’s not the same thing?! All of the cabbage/beef photos floating around this weekend made me crave it.

    • I don’t really know, though I guess it’s quite similar. I never tried corned beef until Kevin and I were married, and I wasn’t a huge fan. Now I only make it for him once a year.

  4. Hahaha I didn’t really celebrate and I forgot to wear green! I know, I know, I’m the worst haha

  5. Sounds like a fabulous celebration. We did the majority of our celebrating on Saturday too. It’s just easier that way.

    • Agreed! Last year was great because the holiday fell on Saturday. I think St P’s and Cinco-de-Drinko always need to fall on Saturdays!

  6. Love all the green! And I have to tell you–I ran in my compression socks for the first time last week . . . it felt sooooo good! Have a great Monday. :)

  7. We had a beer last night after Liam went to sleep.. that’s about it :)

  8. Good food AND good beer?? It does not get much better than that! :)

  9. how fun! To be honest I was kinda lame this year – no St. Patty’s day celebration for me – BUT I did get a new mattress yesterday! so THAT was exciting!

  10. We were terrible- no green here at all! I’m glad you’ve got it covered for me. :) Hopefully next year I’ll get my act together, at least for the 3yo’s sake!

  11. I’m a bit late but sounds like you had fun!
