Happy Saint Patty's day!

[Brandi]

Luck of the irish to all of you!
My dh asked what I am up to today? Duh looking for a pot of gold!
Are you all wearing your green? I have green eye's so I always use that.
I am irish but not traditional irish. You are supposed to go to church today but.....
So what are you doing? We are having a pot luck tonight with the neighbors and a few friends! I got me irish beer ready my lads! Just need to pull out my irish music and we will be set! I think we will play count my freckles. It is going to be a long night!

Nothing fancy here. I'm wearing my green and so is hubby. Just going off to work in a green sweater. Then come home and sleep

My spin teacher always does an Irish spinning class. You either love it or hate it. I love it!

My niece teaches Irish step dance, so I'm wearing a sweatshirt from her school. After I got to work I realized I should have worn my cycling jersey that we had made for our Livestrong ride, the one with "may the wind be always at your back" on the back and the celtic knots all over it. Oh well, maybe next year.

Someone brought green cupcakes into work, but I stayed away from them since the last thing I need are more calories! Though I'd make an exception for a nice bottle of Smithwick's, which is chilling in the fridge at home.

Oh, and to nitpick it is St. Paddy's day, not Patty. Men don't like to be called Patricia. (It is my own personal mission to get folks to get that one right, and all the Patricks in my family are very grateful).

Happy St. Paddy's day to you too!

While going through my dads stuff last week I found my grandmothers immigration papers, I wonder if I still have family in Cork??

[LBTC]

Paddy, yes! Only clothing I'm wearing that has no green: my bra, shoes and watch. <grin> My eyes are blue, so I can't fall back on them!

DH is having green beer with his workmates after work, so I'll go collect him when I'm done. Then back to our renovation. Not exactly celebratory, but, hey, we're both in the colours!

I realized I didn't wear anything green today...but my eyes are green so I'm covered!

You may be eligible to get an Irish (and therefore, European) passport. I don't know what the current rules are, but in the 90s if your grandparents were Irish, you could get citizenship. I have an EU passport, and it's quite handy. Someday maybe I'll live there again, but for now I use it to get through the speedy line at the airport in Paris.

I was all dressed and on my way out the door when I spied a green shirt and thought, "Oh, yea! I better bring something green to change into!"

... and got to work and I was already wearing green. Sioux is *not* a fashionista. Sang "danny boy" and "house of orange" along the way to get in the spirit.

Happy St. Paddy's Day to all and Queen, if there was ever any family in Cork, then that answers that question, so, of course you still have family there.

I haven't made any effort to wear green for a long time, as I figure it runs in my veins, eh?! Green from the inside-out here!

I looked into that a few years ago, it's still an option if I can locate a few more documents.

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I just finished up my Guinness, corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. (Tomorrow we're having homemade reubens!)

Queen -That would be very cool if you could get an EU passport. I hope you find the documents you need.

Happy St. Paddy's day all!!!

We've enjoyed our beer (I can't do Guinness - wish I could), and are munching an array of Irish cheeses and bread! Much better than the smoke filled bars around here

I must confess, I did absolutely nothing for St. Paddy's day. Had chili and Lite beer for dinner; oh, and a GREEN salad, does that count? I normally wear green, but today I had to wear Carolina blue to celebrate UNC's victory in the ACC tournament and number one seed in the NCAA. Go Tarheels!

Guess I'll have to fall back on my green eyes....

I'm still mourning Duke's loss

Funny - I went to Duke Undergrad and Carolina for law, but never developed an affinity for Carolina sports.

Got to go to the first day of the tournament, but sadly didn't get to see Duke play....
