everything green and tegan & sara

sigh. today is the only day that i wish i were in chicago [well, that's a lie, there are a couple of these days, but this one is the most important]. its just that there are certain things that are celebrated and honored in chicago, like no where else. [i.e. the green river, fireworks, utter maddness]

saint patrick. what a great man. so great we have one of my very favorite holidays in honor of him. unfortunately for me, nashville is not to hip on this holiday. which, honestly, makes

NO sense. i mean, he was a saint,

a missionary to the islands. that's why they celebrate him. so the bible belt should be all up on it. common people. i made a quick stop into

kroger today and couldn't find a decoration or even a four-leaf-clover-shaped cookie-cutter.

maybe there just aren't that many irish or scottish. [did you catch that? yes. i said scottish. i'm not leaving them out. they're totally involved in this tradition... get over it]

even though my irish heritage is small [i have to add the scotts on this one, they take up more of my blood], you can see it in my red hair and my love of whiskey.

so, cheers to saint patrick, the irish, the scotts, jameson, cookies, and everything green. and to tegan and sara, because i just can't stop listening to them today.

love. happy st. patrick's day.
