St Patrick's Day


Mint Oreo Cookies jumped into my grocery cart this afternoon.
It just seemed appropriate, don't you think?

      I gave up on the decaf! haha...would you believe I couldn't sleep?
      That's right...I slept terribly while drinking decaf. I went back to caffeine and sleep through the night.
      I know...I'm weird. ha.

      Glad you are sleeping again!

      Yeah, I gave the decaf one week and didn't sleep well for all of the nights. Even my fitbit said
      I wasn't sleeping well! haha.

      Over the hills and valleys green
      Just be kind and never mean
      Leprechaun luck will soon find you
      and bring you cookies for all that you do.

      Like Eddie, I have never seen those biscuits before in this part of the world. The nearest we have would be 'Bourbon Creams'

      No Oreo cookies at all? They are one of our most popular. Hydrox Brand used to be a competitor but I don't know if they are around any longer. I'll have to send you some. :)

    I agree with you on the bedtime drink. I tried cocoa and couldn't get to sleep, so I switched to decaff and still had restless nights. Then I went back to ordinary coffee and now I sleep straight through until the feathered pests outside wake me up with their dawn chorus. Ha.

    I love so many kinds of food, but for the life of me, I just can't like mint. I know that's probably a sin, but forgive me I have tried. I love the way they look. Guess I would just have to put green coloring in vanilla filled... That little green heart is so cute.

    Bet those cookies would be a great "pick-me-up" right now. Just got back from exercise class and I don't have the energy to even go to the kitchen to eat. Do you have a big sling shot? Could you shoot one to me, right about now?

      Yeah, I do. Instructor liked to have killed me....and I'm a runner. Lol!! We did high intensity interval training...so 4 sets of intervals. We did about 1200 jumping jacks total and that was just one exercise. She's also my yoga instructor. If I survive, I'll surely be a strong, flexible chick one day soon. Ha!
