I was once in Ireland on St. Patrick's day. On the way to Blarney we got in the middle of a parade by mistake. There were lots of farm implements and the Irish version of Boy and Girl Scouts.
I am not wearing green--yet. I am wearing blue flannel pajamas with moons on them. No plans, but tomorrow is my anniversary!
I only know he drove the snakes out of Ireland. My family is not Irish. I don't own anything green. Better stay home tomorrow or risk getting pinched.
Hey, look at that. I am wearing green. Yeah, I totally planned that.
1 C (I always think spring means hope - new beginnings and all that)

10B (but I wouldn't want to kiss him either lol)
Today happens to be our dinner/darts night out with friends and I definitely see some green beer in my future!
I have spent most of this day watching the Savannah St. Patrick's Day parade on TV. This is the second largest SP Day parade in the nation. The Savannahians (sp?)go all-out for this day. Green is not my color so I'll stay at home and not get pinched.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I am sporting a little bit of green, though no plans for tonight.
I actually wore green today, but didn't realize it was St. Patrick's Day until I was on my way to work. How fortuitous. :)
And I actually have an uncle who was born on St. Patrick's day, and yep, his name is Patrick. After 7 kids, my grandmother wasn't interested in originality. haha
