...that I didn't get a chance to post anything about St. Patrick's Day. Fortunately, LJ still has the St. Pat's graphic up, so I can pretend that March 17th is going into extra innings. And, in fact, two women wore their shamrock scarves to church this morning. A lot more people wore pink--pink shirts, pink sweaters, pink ties, pink pocket ( Read more... )

I had a hearing in Clinton today, which went pretty much as expected. More importantly, I came home with presents. I stayed with my folks, and my mother had packed up my Grandmother Loraine's china and my Aunt Jean's crystal to bring back to Nashville. I will be using them for my St. Patrick's Pokeno party this weekend, because the plates have ( Read more... )

But it's St. Patrick's Day, so let's all give it a try!

In honor of the day, I offer what I consider to be the greatest Flogging Molly song of them all, "Devil's Dance Floor". If you start dancing around your office, don't blame me. Blame Dave King and his mad songwriting skillz.

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 ( Read more... )

I have a cutie-patootie St. Pat-Trek's Day icon ( Read more... )

...about Easter Uprising of 1916. ;-) It's called "The Foggy Dew", although the Sinead O'Connor version, which I'm listening to, isn't my favorite version. I prefer the Dublin Ramblers' rendition.

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I ( Read more... )

I'm wearing a light spring green sweater and my mermaid pendant (she has a green tail) in honor of the day. I love green, but green doesn't love me. Only a pastel green (like the one I'm wearing) keeps from looking like I have liver disease ( Read more... )

Actually, I'm Irish-American. My father is a McCoy, my maternal grandmother was a Fain. However, I'm pretty sure we were orange, as opposed to green. :-) I have my St. Patrick's Day finery on...a black dress with black diamond patterned tights and low black heels, ornamented with a green/white shamrock scarf, a St. Patrick's Day altered art ( Read more... )
