luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!
I thought maybe I would post some interesting "I bet you didn't know" facts about today but then to a certain extent I kind of feel like St. Patrick's day is just one of those holidays that has lost its true meaning in the spirit of marketing and commercialism.  So here's to local bars and novelty stores.  May your sales be prosperous.
(If you're still interested in that history lesson though check out the History.com's page on today)
Since I decided against that though, here are some of my favorite green things (in no particular order):

1. Vegetables. Not that I particularly disliked them when I was a kid, but it feels weird now saying that vegetables are one of my favorite green things...but hey, I can't help it that a bowl of peas with a little bit of butter and salt makes me happy.  Not to mention they have been known to cause spontaneous humming.

Don't forget the Green Beans!










2. Anything in Kelly Green.  Especially this dress, I've been a little bit obsessed with it since Atonement came out.

3. Green flavored gummy bears (especially Haribo)




















4. Greenpeace, green energy...global warming is real.  That's a cause I'm willing to back




5. This song, and frankly the entire musical 




6. Kermit the Frog.  (even if Beaker is my favorite.)
But seriously, who doesn't love the muppets?

7.   Moss graffiti.  Such a cool new trend that I definitely need to try sometime. Click here for a recipe

8. The girly side in me definitely loves emeralds.  Look how sparkly!

9. inchworms. Nothing more needs to be said.

10. turtles.


Drink responsibly and have a good St. Patrick's day!
