Welcome to today’s Sisterhood Bash Happy Hour! What’s the Sisterhood Bash? Go check it out – we’re raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and there are MANY chances to win fabulous prizes…and cash. Yes, cash.

So, it’s hump day – Wednesday – I am so glad we’re halfway through the week.

AND IT’S ST. PATRICK’S DAY! This calls for a cocktail.

In particular, Irish Coffee. Coffee AND booze? Hooray!
