My Nana once told me, "There's no rest for the wicked." Thinking back on my life, it makes a lot of sense. 

Triathlon training has officially started and physical therapy is officially over. My procrastination at posting these is right on par.

But it's not like I actually procrastinate posting these, it's just that other things take priorities. Like long phone calls with friends, going through all my cookbooks one recipe at a time, and baking a boozy cake for St. Patrick's Day. It's a rough life.

Here's how last week shaped up:

Now that physical therapy is over, we're following one of Garmin's beginner sprint triathlon training plans. Although, Ryan's not too happy with the hour and a half long bike planned for Thursday, so we'll be switching it out for some high intensity interval bike training. Can't wait to feel that burn...

Now some of you may be eating corn beef and cabbage. Maybe drinking a Guinness in honor of today's Irish history. Ryan and I? We're eating chinese takeout. Sláinte!

From our family to yours, Happy St. Patrick's Day.

2015 Decorations | St. Patty's Day

I have the worst early childhood memory ever. All the things I did before I was eight? Like no memories whatsoever. Forget about it. 'Cause I really did.

One I can recall is from a St. Patrick's Day when my mom made green oatmeal. I don't know what it was but I was such a brat and refused to eat it. I don't know how my mom put up with me. I was the WORST picky eater.

I'm sure right now, my husband's thinking, "Was?"

Anyway. Since St. Patty's Day is fourteen short days away I whipped up a few printables to throw on my mantel. I really like the way they came out.

That candle right there? Yankee Candle's Meadow Showers. Smells a little flowery and a lot like heaven. If heaven were in the form of rain. I mean, can you really beat the smell of an open field after it rains? It's like perfection.

The printables are all formatted for 8½"x11" paper. I framed the two clover ones in 5"x7" frames. Each of the smaller printables have outlines as a guide for cutting to size. You can see each one by clicking on the pictures below.

Next up? Figuring out how to convince Ryan to have a party...Any ideas?
