Happy St Patrick’s Day

You don’t *have* to be Irish to enjoy this day – happy St Patrick’s Day!

Make sure you are wearing something green or you may get pinched… then again you might like getting pinched – snort LOL. I think daddy has his lucky green Irish shirt out to wear today and mom is wearing her green Irish socks. I think they are safe. I think they need to put my green vest on so I can be festive as well. Perhaps mom will get camera happy and take a picture for later on for every one.

I’ve got some St Patrick day facts for you – how many did you know?

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was born in Britain, around 385 AD. His parents Calpurnius and Conchessa were Roman citizens living in either Scotland or Wales, according to different versions of his story.

Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer, is said to commemorate St Patrick’s use of the shamrock. Did you know that mom and dad have been to restaurants on this date where the sweet tea is green! Shocking huh? But the bigger shocker is that the actual color of St Patrick’s Day is blue. Green became associated with St Patrick’s Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.

Popular Irish toats on St Patrick’s Day include, “May the roof above us never fall and may we friends beneath it never fall out.”

St Patrick’s Day was first celebrated in America in Boston, Massachusetts in 1737.

In Chicago on St Patrick’s Day, the rivers are dyed green.

In Seattle on St Patrick’s Day, there is a ceremony where a green stripe is painted down the roads.

Savannah, Georgia is the second biggest parade party for St Patrick’s day. Savannah holds a special place in my heart as well as my parents. Did you know that mom and dad adopted me from a little town about 80 miles from Savannah called Broxton. Small world huh?

Lucky Charms, a favorite cereal for young and old, was created in 1963 with it’s popular mascot, Lucky the Leprechaun. Do you remember the tune?

Hearts, Stars and Horseshoes – Clover and Blue Moons – Pots of gold and rainbows – And the red balloon. That’s the luck of me lucky charms! Their magically delicious!

And of course, no posting would be complete without me attaching a silly picture of my dad.  What can I say?  Dad is such a great person to play along with my silliness of the holiday.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day my friends from all of us here at the Hotel Thompson ❤

Favorite Super Bowl 2014 Commercial

Before we go ahead with *the* Super Bowl, let’s talk about the Puppy Bowl.  What a game!  Awesome half time with Keyboard Kitty.  Awesome penguin cheerleaders.  BOTH teams came to play – snorts – unlike *the* Super Bowl.  And I loved the part where it showed the forever homes for the previous game players.  Excellent Puppy Bowl X.

Now about the Super Bowl.  The Super Bowl last night was the Seahawks vs Broncos.  Let’s not talk about the game.  Puts my little piggy head down in disgust.  I was rooting for the Broncos.  It’s like they didn’t even show up!

Since the game was over before it started – snorts, I concentrated on the commercials and the half time show.  Let’s talk about the half time show first.  It rocked.  I love me some Bruno Mars.  The Red Hot Chili Peppers not so much.  Maybe it was the one song they played – shrugs pig shoulders – not sure.  But Bruno kicked it – literally.  That guy has some foot movement!  It was great – probably one of the best I’ve seen in my 2.5 years – snorts.

Now, the commercials.  There were lots of commercials to review.  Some I absolutely loved and some I hated with a piggy passion.  My top were (in no particular order):

Ellen Degeneres playing Little Red Riding Hood.  Did you see the piggies in the commercial? Squeal!  You just know when she gets to condo with the bears they are going to huff and puff and blow her down – oops wrong Fairy Tale – snorts.

Then Pappa Bear says, “Play it” and they all break out dancing.  That was a hoot.  We all laughed at this one at the Hotel Thompson.

.

Then there was the Audi commercial about ‘no compromises’ where two people are at the adoption agency. One wants a Doberman and the other wants a Chihuahua thus they compromise on a mixture of the two.  Thus you get the Doberhuaha.

I have to admit that we laughed at the Doberhuaha.  It reminded me of Scrappy from Scooby Doo.  You see it now?  Snorts.

.

The VW commercial.  OMP (oh my pig).  Snorts.  It’s hard for me to even type this because I’m snorting so hard.  VW turns 100,000 miles and when it does the people that make the cars get their ‘wings’.  That’s what the dad tells his daughter in the car.  The daughter is like yeah right and says, “And I guess at 200,000 miles they fart the rainbow?”  AND it starts to show them farting rainbows.  Okay maybe I don’t have it verbatim but it was hilarious!  I looked at daddy and said, “How much mileage you got old man?”  Snorts

.

My favorite commercial the entire night at the Hotel Thompson was for the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter cups – which might I add are AWESOME!  Peanut butter and Chocolate are in therapy and Butterfinger shows up to the couch.

This commercial is freaking hilarious.  You have to watch it – it’s so funny.  And the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter cups – thud – mom/dad down.  They tried one and they LOVE IT.  Mom gave me a small taste and I do mean small.  It’s like a peanut butter cup BUT the filling is butterfinger.  It’s the perfect combination.

So what was your favorite commercial from last night?  Thoughts on those or the game of the Puppy Bowl?
