Erin Go Bragh

Since I share vintage postcards all the time I'm guessing that I have already posted this one. Oh well. I am sure you will be getting many duplicates over time.

If you are interested in the origins of the phrase Erin go Bragh then click HERE. For all I know, I have probably already shared that as well. I get so confused!

Along those same lines - my advice for any person starting a blog - be SURE to use tags correctly and smartly when posting from the very beginning. It will help so much in finding things in the future! I wish so badly that i had done that.

Doughnut Plant

So - as you know my brother and his wife live in Manhattan. They have the greatest life EVER and always fill us in on their fun and findings. Today he posted about their Saturday walking across the Brooklyn Bridge and getting donuts at Doughnut Plant. I thought you might want to take a look at the history of Doughnut Plant because it is so cool! Click HERE to visit their site and then click on HISTORY. It takes you on a little tour. It is a perfect example of why I love America. How inspiring to create something unique. Something that has a story. To build something from nothing with hard work. It's just cool. I can't imagine the satisfaction and how rewarding it must be.

And can I just say that I seriously am not a jealous person. At all. There are really only a couple of things that have sincerely made me envious in my life. One was when my brother and sister got a forest green Jeep Wrangler. Awesome. JEALOUS. And the other is that I want to live Jim & Melissa's life! They suck!

But living vicariously through them is better then not having a connection to NYC at all.

All I know is that my 'to do list' for my next trip to NYC is getting longer by the day. I wonder if a month sleeping on a futon and leaving my family is too long? I'm sure Robert will be cool with it... Lol.

And come to think of it. Where did the word doughnut originate from anyway? Great. Now I am going to have to research that. I'm not going to get any work done today.

So goes the life of an adult with ADD...
