Happy St. Patty's Day!

I love Irish Blessings!

May the Lord keep you in His hand and never close His fist too tight.

If God send you down a stony path, may He give you strong shoes.

May the light of Heaven shine on your grave.

Champagne to our real friends, and real pain to our sham friends.

May you be half an hour in Heaven before the devil knows you're dead.

May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load.  May the mist of Irish magic shorten every road.  May you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed, and may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.

A great Irish prayer:

Grant me a sense of humor, Lord,
The saving grace to see a joke,
To win some happiness from life,
And pass in on to other folks.

A couple of Irish curses:

May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.


May you melt off the earth like snow off the ditch.


How about some Irish proverbs:


A lock is better than suspicion.


Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy.


Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.


If you want to be criticized, marry.


You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.


When the drink is inside, the sense is outside.


A funny quote:


Sigmund Freud said, "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever."


Happy St. Patrick's day!

A New Discovery

I feel like a doofus for not knowing about this sooner, but I just discovered my Google Reader!  I follow a lot of blogs.  I mean, over 50--not really sure how many.  There is a way to check, but I don't really feel like doing that right now.  (It's 61--I checked after I posted this.)

I usually just go to my Blogger dashboard and scroll through the latests posts.  If something looks interesting, I click on it and check it out.  Sometimes I skip a few days, and I miss stuff that way.  I discovered the Google Reader right about the time I realized I hadn't check the blogs in a few weeks.

I had over a thousand unread posts.  Apparently, it stops counting after 1000.  Haha.  I love it b/c I can click on each blog and scroll through the posts.  Or I can mark everything on that blog as "Read" so it doesn't show up again.  (For example, I follow the Swapping Spoons blog, and she posts coupons and good deals.  Most of those expire fairly quickly, so there is no reason to go back and read old posts.)

Uh-mazing!!  So I've been catching up this week.  I've missed some pretty cool stuff!  These ladies are fantastic.  So creative.  Some of them are working moms, and I don't know when they have the time for their crafts and home projects.  I'm a single working girl, and I rarely have time to do stuff!  I'm down to under 500 now.  Of course, following over 50 blogs means I usually have over 50 new posts a day.  Once I get caught up, it will be a breeze to keep up!

I'm so excited!
