~~~ Good Friday/St. Patrick's Day Morning ~~~

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY everyone!! I am definitely wearing my green today!!
No plans for the eveing, I have to go to Douglasville tomorrow to get a bridesmaid dress for a wedding I'm in. Hopefully, Sunday the rain will hold off long enough to go to the air show!

Yep I am wearing green (but a far call from when my mum used to dress us in all green and put gold white and green ribbons in our hair as kids, which she very kindly called me at 6am to remind me of!)

Go bhfana Ã:censor: ngrá linn,
Iad siúd atá Ã:censor: ngrá linn.
Iad siúd nach bhfuil,
Go gcasa Dia a gcroÃ:censor:the.
Agus muna gcasann SÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] a gcroÃ:censor:the
Go gcasa SÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] caol na coise acu
Go n-aithneoimid iad as a mbacadaÃ:censor:l.


May those who love us,
Love us.
And those who do not 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.

Beannachtam na Femle Padraig!

I have that hanging on my cubby wall!

When I lived in Seattle, I used to hang out an at Irish pub everyday payday.
The pub was a co-op owned by 4 Irish immigrants.
I got to hear this toast often, and quite a few more colorful, and less repeatable ones, though I heard them mostly in Gaelic, they owners knew me and were always happy to translate

How did you like Seattle? I really want to visit there.

Bugger! I just realized I forgot my lunch at home - now I have to go buy something!

One of my friends was just out in Seattle - she brought back pictures and she said it was absolutely beautiful out there!

I'd love to go there on a vacation!

Well, I'm a Seattle Native

I love it there!
You actually won't suffer much from culture shock, mostly it's like any other big city, possibly more culturally diverse than most (with the exception of a few huge cities).
The natives and long transplanted residents are the laid back ones.

Anything in particular I would have to see or do there?

Picture this....
In my workout class yesterday..
the whole session including warm-ups, weights, aerobics and the final stretches, were done to Bagpipe music.
We had a ball.
Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone.

That really sounds like a lot of fun. I bet there were a lot of giggling women in there!!

Seattle Center and all of it's attactions (Science Center, Experience Music Project).
The waterfront, ferry rides to the penninsula, Discovery Park and old Fort Lawton (the highest population of in city bald eagles nest out there).
Pike Place Public Market and the Sanitary Market across the Street(Staurday is a bad day to go though, jam packed like sardines in a can).

Pioneer Square (though don't go down there after dark, it's an entirely different place then).
Underground tour in Pioneer Square.

Washington Mutual Tower if it's springtime, to see Seattle's most famous Peregrine Falcon pair raise their chicks (on camera, monitors in the lobby).

Take a waterfront dinner cruise (kinda pricey, but well worth it) or just a waterfront and lake tour on one of the Spirit boats (Spirit of Seattle, Spirit of Puget Sound etc).

Lots of other things to do as not, not everything is in the city of course, but there really is a lot to do there.

And if you're into nightlife and clubbing, there are quite a few places in Belltown (Downtown, though closer to Seattle Center).

Seattle is a beautiful city.
Years ago, I took the ferry from Seattle to Victoria and Vancouver.
It was a wonderful trip.

49 minutes til I leave and about 4 1/2 hours before the game starts. I'm getting excited for the weekend to be here!

3 hours for me

I'm definately ready for the weekend!!
