Going green

Did you wear green on St. Patrick's Day?

I did, but barely, when I went to work. I had a pretty important meeting, so I couldn't really just pick my wardrobe for the day based on color. I wore a necklace with big, chunky green beads though, and thought that sufficed.

S did not wear green at all, and he got pinched by one of his co-workers! Serves him right!! Being nontraditional about St. Patty's day in the Boston area is a big mistake.

So to make sure S had truly made up for his lack of holiday cheer earlier, we went out that evening, decked out in more green. We didn't stay long at the lounge, because it got progressively more ridiculous with partiers every ten minutes or so, but we did stay long enough to enjoy the decorations, some delicious junk food, and to feel a part of a local celebration.

I love this picture. The bartender looks so at home, so pleased at the fun everyone's having with the green beer and the funky music playing in the background (Either singing or dancing to every song was pretty much required on a day like this).

So nothing crazy, nothing drunk, but a mighty good time going green this year.
