		<description><![CDATA[For World Book Day, my team organised a book drive for the children at a local charity creche.  We ended out with roughly 1 book per child, a few toys, and a handful of art supplies.  Charity begins at home, and learning depends on the ability to read.  For those of us who spend our days reading and responding -this was a great way to encourage the next generation.  Thanks to everyone who donated!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Folks, Jedward has come out with a candy bar.  It just makes me want to cry, because it's so painfully pop culture, punny, laughable and sad all at the same time.  Someone else bought it for me as a gift, and my first thought was that I *Had* to blog about it and post pictures, because this is something that is lost in translation (and I'm sure didn't make it across the pond).  So here they are. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in March, and again the beginning of June, I decided that I needed to get out of the city and go see a bit more of Ireland.  I had heard many lovely things about a place called "Glenda-lock", which is situated in the Wicklow mountains.  I have to say that after taking a friend there in March, I had to return in June (when the weather was better) and take my mom and a bunch of beautiful photographs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 17th in Ireland is a huge Day.  It's a day of National pride as not only is Saint Patrick the patron saint, it's also an "unofficial" day to celebrate all things Irish.  Everyone gets in on the act - from kids to adults, businesses and private homes alike.  The day is one of great festivity. Here are some pictures from the St. Patrick's Day (March 17) parade in Ireland.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, I had some minor surgery which left me off work for a week and a half.  The surgery was preventative, and went fine.  However, because it was in my stomach area, I couldn't pick anything up or do anything strenuous for several days after it took place. The thing is that for those of you who know me, I can't sit still and just do nothing.  I have a bit of ADD, and have to constantly be doing something - or several something's at one time.  Knowing this, I've been trying to keep busy - and here's how/ what I've been doing for the last 2 days (please feel free to laugh)]]></description>

They really do have some cute ads here in Ireland, and I think some of the funniest I've seen in a while.  As a result,  I have decided to start keeping tabs to share these.  Today's theme... Guest Appearances .....I hope you enjoy!]]></description>
