#1- I celebrated St. Paddy’s Day in style this year with my sisters, my brother-in-law, and of course my Chad. We attended the World’s Largest Pub Crawl, Rich & Bennett’s 13th Annual, on Saturday afternoon. Last I heard 16,000 people purchased the t-shirts needed to participate– that number doesn’t include all the last minute attendees. It was really just an excellent for my sisters and I to share drinks all day, dance like fools, and then have a sleepover. Seriously the most fun I’ve had in I don’t even know how long. Thank you St. Patrick.
#2- I need this breakfast to be a part of my life everyday. 3-egg omelet with Gruyere cheese, spinach, onions, and bacon, a side of the best ever fresh fruit, thick slabs of whole grain toast, and made-in-house blackberry jam. Add to this 3 bites of some insanely amazing coffee cake and a bite of my sister’s eggs Benedict… you guys. I will continue to shamelessly plug Terrace Cafe for as long as they keep turning out food like this.
#3- These are some pretty handy tips. I am all about the toaster.
#4- This was the weekend forecast for my corner of North Carolina. SPRING!!! Is something to get happy about.
#5- I just bought these shoes from Nine West. LOVE.
#6- Norma Jean’s perch of the week. Proof that all these books are good for something.
#7- Time to start cranking out the Easter recipes!! What are your favorite Easter meal traditions? What about desserts? This is important stuff, people.
Email your Manic Monday suggestions to heather {at} sugardishme {dot} com… Have a great week!!!

I vaguely remember your bunny cake from last year-- send me a link! The people at the bar crawl were spread out all over downtown Charlotte and the weather was GORGEOUS. We spent lots of time outside, ate drunk sandwiches on the sidewalk, soaked up 70 degrees and sunshine, and intermittently went into bars that all had plenty of room to dance-- even Chad had fun and he is like borderline agoraphobic. Loving my new shoes-- thanks! And Norma might be drunk. We planted cat grass in pots all over the house and it makes her slightly crazy.
