Michele Obama saves the day!
I admit I was a little mopey this morning, missing the hulabaloo that is St. Patrick's Day in Chicago, and my lovely Chicago river dyed a rich emerald green. It's silly and happy and festive and I love it. Appearantly, so does the First Lady because she had the White House fountains
dyed green! Huzzah! I'm irritated by the pithy "presumably safe" comment at the end of that article, but I'm too happy to care! Shove it, you stuffy over-pretentious, self-important DC spoil-sports!
Hooray for not taking yourself too seriously! You have no idea how happy this makes me. Now all I need is Guinness and green beer. You can't dye Guinness green. I tried once in a fit of drunken revelry. I was foiled by the lovely darkness that is Guinness. Still tasted ok though, so no worries.
*Sigh*
