I’m afraid I have probably done a disservice to my fellow Irish friends.
- I didn’t make corned beef and cabbage, or Rueben’s, or even green cupcakes.
- I didn’t drink green beer.
- I didn’t actually wear green until about 7 pm when we went out for cocktails and dinner with friends (but I did have a green lime wedge in my gin and soda!)
- I didn’t even eat any of the foods re: #1.
I’ve never really been one to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day too much, though. I don’t really get it since I’m not Irish, but I feel like I’m the only one who feels this way! 
Oh! I did drink a green chocolate protein shake for breakfast!
always drinking them in the car…
That counts, right? 
Also, anyone else out there call smoothies “shakes” if they’re made with chocolate protein powder? I don’t know why, but if it’s chocolate – or mocha, coffee – anything but fruity – it should be a shake in my mind. Who knows…
It was such a beautiful day yesterday, though. After training a client, Shane and I packed up Niko and drove over to the nearest disc golf park for a little sunshine.
Well, Shane disc golfed. Niko and I watched.
I’m horrible at disc golf, and I’m also horribly competitive. So when I throw it in the tall icky grass like 5 times in a row, it doesn’t end well. This is also why Shane doesn’t like to play video games with me.
But I do like walking in the sunshine with Niko, so it’s fine
The rest of the day was spent pretty lazily until we went out with friends. We all got a few rounds of cocktails, and then split 5 or 6 different small plates. It ended up being a lot of fun, but Shane got a call to work (from home) so we had to peace out a little earlier than we would have liked. And then I had a healthy brownie with Greek yogurt when I got home, because small plates are, well, small.
As for today, the plan’s up in the air, but I’m up before Shane (because he was working until 3 am) which never happens! So I’m enjoying the quiet of the morning.
I do know that one item on the agenda is to book our June vacation today! It involves a cross country road trip to a gorgeous state out west that’s completely abnormal for us. Neither of us have been there. Any guesses?
Time for some Sunday coffee. Have a great rest of your weekend, friends 
Do you consider yourself a competitive person?
What did you do to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?
i know! you’re coming to utah! haha i have really no idea, but you should drive through utah so we can grab a coffee or something. i think that’s a grand idea.
i’m not a big st. patrick’s day celebrator either. i’ve just never been that into it. so you’re not the only one!
I made us healthified Shamrock Shakes for breakfast with chocolate protein powder, spinach, banana, mint extract and vanilla. I am not sure when I say shake versus smoothie because I just called the above a shake but its more a smoothie! haha.
I also worse green most of the day but that is all.
I can be competitive at a few things. I’m very competitive at mini-golf even though I’m terrible. I am determined to win just once!!
Confession – I’m Irish and didn’t wear any green or really celebrate St. Patty’s Day at all. It was just another Saturday : )
We went out last night but ate Mexican food and drank American beer. At least I wore green!
Since I’m not Irish I’m not a huge St Patty’s Day fan. I did, however, eat meatballs with a delicious guinness beer sauce. I guess that kind of counts as Irish. Anyway, are you heading to California on your cross country road trip?
Mmmm, that certainly sounds tasty!
Haha I did absolutely nothing for St Patricks day and I don’t feel bad about it – went for sushi of all things! haha
Haha! I had fish tacos and bruschetta
I wore nothing green and ate nothing green! Haha I was actually traveling most of the day, but I saw a lot of St. Patrick’s day outfits in the airport! And I’m going to guess Colorado? Mostly because it’s awesome.
If it is Colorado, Google: Garden of the Gods and Manitou Cliff Dwellings.
I call it a smoothie up until it has some sort of ice cream in it – then it’s a shake! But that’s just me =)
Are you going to vegas?? Haha I have no idea where you’re going, but I’m sure it’ll be a good time. I didn’t do/eat/have anything green yesterday. I’m such a slacker
. Hope you have a great day!
I really want to try those brownies! They look like a great alternative! How do you find them? I’m exactly the same as you…like I suck at bowling, but if I ever go randomly I HAVE to win or I will be in the worst mood everrr…I have no clue why I’m like this, even in like monopoly…it’s really horrible I feel awful for the people who are with me
haha
Those brownies look really great! How are they? I’ve been thinking of making them soon…I am such a competitive person I’m sure it’s so annoying…even in like bowling, which I suck at, I have to win otherwise I am not a peach to be around
yikes!
They’re so good! Definitely not a like a home-cooked fudgey brownie, but still very good.
