I was trying to remember why I don't have any memories of pinching or any grief at all about St. Pat's even from when I was in grade school, and then I remembered -- we got the day off when I was in grade school! Evacuation Day! (I am wearing green today, but it's sort of a coincidence.)
lisah, I'm glad your mom will have people at the award thing, even if not you and your dad.
If someone asks where my green is, I'm going to say "In my DNA."
I wear the map of Ireland on my face so...
I did bring green boots for my mom's event but they don't work with yesterday's outfit which is what I'm wearing.
And someone in the office just hassled me about St. Patrick's Day.
Don't you want to celebrate Ireland's accomplishments, like Michael Lohan and vomiting into a bagpipe?
I'm going to kill something. All the damned images I uploaded to the damned test documentation server in the past week got blown away. And it's a clunk piece of software that I hate to begin with.
lisah, best to you and your Dad and family.
Consuela, YAY!
Tom, I hope that your day is as easy as possible.
Yesterday, a friend that I hadn't seen in years called to say he was in town and did I want to have lunch -- it was awesome. My DH dropped everything to join us, too. Now we just have to really get a visit in when we are our in LA with him and the whole family.
No Irish here, but the nearest thing to it -- one set of great-great-grandparents immigrated from Anglesey. (Holyhead, one end of the ferry from Dublin to Wales, is on Anglesey.) I'm wearing blue today, with gray trousers.
Me too, Fred Pete. Some ancestors a few generations back immigrated from Cork to North Carolina and kept moving over the mountains until they fell down and took root in Tennessee.
Tom, hope today starts looking better for you as it goes on.
Lisah, I'm crossing my fingers for your dad.
Stood at my office door and told me I had no excuses for not wearing green...
"My excuse is go fuck yourself!"
I'm actually wearing green today, but my good green shirt was up in the laundry rotation so I figured why not. In general I consider my green eyes to mean I'm dressed for St. Patrick's Day even when naked.
Also, new glasses! [link]

Your co-workers might thank you for going the extra mile and wearing that shirt.
Nice glasses!
