Hi everyone – Happy Friday!  I am very excited that the work week is winding down and it’s time to hang out with family.  Plus, one of my favorite holidays is this weekend – St Patrick’s Day!  What’s an Irish girl like myself going to do?  I’ll be sure to report back here on all the fun St. Patty’s Day plans I have for the weekend!

Here are all my favorite things from the past seven days:

On TV- I will give a small shout out to The Bachelor since it has sucked up two hours of my life every week for the past ten or so weeks…my predictions – Catherine and Sean will last long enough for her to clap court side during his stint on DWTS and then US Weekly will start reporting trouble in paradise.

• My pick for Friday Favorite is Grey’s Anatomy!  Thank you Shonda Rhimes – this week reminded me of why I love this show – finally the who is buying / taking over the hospital storyline is coming to a close!  And there is a new McHottie in town – Dr Jackson Avery is now not only fine, but also in charge!

Countdown to April when two of my favorite shows come back on –Mad Men Season 6 and AWKWARD. Season 3!

On the Computer –

• I have been a faithful reader of les petits presents blog for years.  When I had Olivia, I couldn’t wait for her to be old enough so I could start a St. Patrick’s Day tradition I learned from this blog.  Check out what leprechauns leave the night before St Patty’s Day!  Lucky Little Leprechauns and That’s a Wrap.

On my Twitter feed –

• Twitter was hilarious this week – two of my fav tweets were Michael Buckley comparing the choosing of the new Pope to Evita – @shutupbuck Just a touch of star quality. #NewPope #ANewArgentina and Jennifer Weiner’s running Bachelor commentary – @jenniferweiner And Lindsay has TAKEN OFF HER SHOES. Because Sean NO LONGER DESERVES HER in heels. #bachelornation

For the Crafters –

• A variety of fun St. Patty’s day printables on spoonful.com to use for gifts, candy bars, soda bottles, or cupcakes.
