Wow - I actually wore some green today and didn't even plan it. I'm going out with some friends for cocktails after work. There is nothing big planned here at all, but it at least gives us a reason to drink (like we need one).

I refuse to wear green just 'cause it's St. Paddy's day. Not my thing.
We're babysitting for my brother tonight, so no green beer for me!

We went out with my brother and his girlfriend Saturday night, and I had my share of Guinness to celebrate. Last night had the corned beef and cabbage....so I guess we jumped the gun a bit. 
My daughter and I are wearing green today (I heard abouth nothing but catching a leprechaun from her all weekend!), don't know what Mary Poppins will be wearing today....she was still in bed when I left for work.

We threw a small dinner party on Saturday night - irish stew, irish colcannon, soda bread and green deviled eggs. no green beer, but i did offer bass.
like PG - i hunted for something green to wear today, but the only thing i could come up with were christmas socks that have trees on them. so that's it. nothing big tonight. i think we're taking the dogs for a walk, since we're having an insane bout of nice weather.

Got up early and went to Paddy's Irish Pub here in Milwaukee for some Irish Breakfast. The Irish east some strange stuff. You wouldn't believe the number of people that were pounding Guinness at 6:30am.
This evening I am not sure what I am up to. I have a friend who shares his birthday with St. Patricks day, so I will probably meet him out somewhere.

One of the bars at school opened up at 6am with FIVE CENT pitchers. It went up about ten cents an hour, but stopped at like $2 a pitcher. As a GA I taught earth science classes and it was crazy how many people had green mouths.
Of course, I was there after classes! The line was crazy long and it was packed, but it was lots of fun. Have some *interesting* memories

There's actually a speed dating event that I'm attending tonight. I think it's just a matter of coincidence that it'll be taking place at an Irish bar in downtown KC.
I have changed my avatar, though, in celebration of the Irish spirit. Fad saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bas in Eirinn!

The college kids were drinking at 7:30 this morning. I think they have used the day as an excuse to drink straight through from last Thursday. I ran into a couple of drunk ones trying to buy donuts and alchohol at 8:00 Sunday morning. State law does not permits its sale before (I think) eleven on Sunday, so they went away PO'd.

In my college days, St. Patrick's Day was an excuse to get hammered.
But now? Gosh, I forgot all about it. I'm wearing blue to work today.

I went out with some friends last night (it's already Tues a.m. here) and had my first pint of Guinness! I actually quite liked it. Followed by Baileys on ice - yum!
We had a competition to see who could wear the most green things - I think I won with green flowers in my hair, green eyeshadow, green earrings, a green top, 2 green bracelets, and a green hairclip. A male coworker showed up in a green retro suit!

Happy St. Patricks Day
With sandals on, I walked through the frigid stream. All the hills were freshly lit green from the weekend rains, the sky was clear blue -pocked with low puffy white clouds, the breeze was strong and cool. The sun shone on my face with a sweet and gentle warmth that I won't forget too soon. Giving thanks to the One, whom St Patrick professed would guide my ancestors souls, I am blessed with humility, a humility that calls from the needs of those less fortunate. Returning from the hike, I went to work and shared good deeds with coworkers and those that I am so honored to work and serve for.
