My favorite holiday?

St Patricks day is one of those holidays that I love.  No need to buy gifts, no huge meals to cook, no uncomfortable gatherings, just slap on some green and spend some green celebrating the green!

I have no proven Irish blood flowing through me, but I take advantage anyway.  I bought several little packs of stickers (leprechauns, shamrocks, pots-o-gold, etc) and travelled around the lab handing them out.  With close to 200 employees this time of year, it took a while.  I was able to make some folks smile, though.  Some of the over-50 employees who usually have a grouchy look on their faces really lit up!  Some of the 18-22 year old dark and dreary kids laughed out loud at this 36 year old weirdo handing out stickers.  It was fun.

I even went to McDonalds to get a shamrock shake for myself and my two employees (the receptionists.)  It's been a good day.  It's been a darn good day.  I wore my St Patricks Day socks.  Theme socks are SO dorky, but I own them for this particular day.  The weirder the outfit, the more I enjoy it.
