Happy St. Patrick's Day, all ye buachaills and cailíns!
I am appropriately garbed in a bright spring green sweater, which is the only color of green I can wear without looking like I have liver disease, a felted pin with an abstracted Celtic knot, and my fabulous St. Patrick's Day altered art bracelet that Jeanie custom-made for me a couple of years ago.
I have decorated my office with glittering shamrock cutouts and shamrock leis, and I have the Dublin Ramblers playing on my computer tower. I have also made a pot of Irish creme coffee, which smells wonderful, and I brought chocolate cupcakes decorated with green frosting and little M&M shamrocks to share with my coworkers.
Now, I must admit that I tend to prefer my Scottish heritage over my Irish throughout most of the year, but March 17 is the one day when I am unashamedly and unabashedly Irish. Which is fortunate, since I have the surname to prove it. :-) Erin go bragh!
