Yes, St. Patrick's Day is on Tuesday... but I need some time to warm up! My grandmother was Irish (she married a Scotsman, Oh the family drama), and my family honors our heritage. I wear my badge of the Boland family proudly. So let's get our Irish on and have some fun!
This is our Virtual Girls Night Out (boys welcome too). Our social, blog-hopping party. A way for us to meet others without having to get out of our footie p.j.'s. The Virtual GNO is your chance to hang out with blog friends and hopefully make some new friends as well:-> So sign Mr. Linky below and join in the fun!
Time To Get Our Jig On!
The High Kings "Rocky Road To Dublin"
Yeah!!! There's no way for me to stay still when I hear these guys! :-> This music makes me thirsty.
Time For A Cocktail!
I'm going budget friendly with this recipe. (And it's not difficult to figure out how to make this alcohol free - if need be ;-> )
Jameson and Ginger
Ingredients:
1 1/2 parts Jameson Irish Whiskey
ginger ale
squeeze of a lime wedge
Preparation:
Pour the whiskey into a highball glass filled with ice.
Fill with ginger ale.
Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in.
Stir.
Straight and to the point. I like that! And after chaperoning a class of 2nd graders on a wilderness field trip I desire a bit of Jameson and Ginger right now! We did have a good time. It's just that 8 year old energy times 25 can wear you out. The kids were able to look for meta-invertabrates and plant syllariah. (A.K.A. look for little water buggies and plant shrubs :-> ) This adventure inspires this weeks...
Party Game!
Being out in nature, and Tuesday being St. Patrick's Day, has inspired the name of this game. let's play...
The Shamrock 3
Name 3 Places You Would Rather Be Right Now:
1.) Calistoga, CA
2.) Ireland
3.) Gigantic hot bath filled with bubbles
Name 3 Things You Will NEVER Drink Again:
1.) Gin ~ Ugh! 'The Night Of Gin' I will never forget, unfortunately
2.) Anything blue
3.) Buttermilk
3 People You Would Like To Pinch (for not wearing green of course!):
1.) Sting
2.) George Clooney
3.) Matthew McConaughey
Only 3?! Man. I wonder what your Shamrock 3 will be?
We don't have a giveaway this week. However, if you would like me to hostess your giveaway at the Virtual GNO, a virtual goodie bag, let me know :->
Now go have fun! Sign in with Mr. Linky below to join the Virtual GNO. Visit those that sign-in! Go blog-hopping! That's what it's all about. And I would love to meet your blog friends.

I'll be there with bells on.
ReplyDeleteI'll see you in a few hours. Ahhhh, that was a nice hearty song. I work with a lot of Brits and every now and then I get some Irish and some Scottish. The Irish always sound so very friendly, and Scottish have an accent so thick I can't understand them. But when you hang around with either or, you are bound to have tons of fun and LOTS of drinks!!! So here's to the green in ya.
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting my VGNO post in a little bit.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime... For fun, I'm hoping some VGNO bloggers post a picture of themselves at the party! Don't know what I'm talking about? Stop by and I'll tell you!
