Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Shannon proved to have the luck of the Irish on her side when she commented on last week’s post. She was the winner of the $10 Amazon gift card!
So I thought I’d give you a 5 St. Patrick’s Day themed bits about me today.
1) I was raised listening to The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, and was able to see them in concert several times. Great fun!
2) My mother taught me to dance a jig. I only do it when she makes me.
3) I can recite most of The Quiet Man.
4) I do not eat corned beef, cabbage, fish or lamb, so I would probably starve if I ever actually went to Ireland. I do, however, drink beer.
5) I have a kind of a…partiality toward men of Irish extraction. Sean or Tom Sullivan, anyone? Oh, and if they have a bit of the brogue! *fans self* I could listen to Liam Neeson talk all day. I wouldn’t mind hearing him talk all night, too…nudge-nudge, wink-wink, so no more!
Tell me, are you a wee bit Irish? Do you celebrate with the wearing o’ the green?
I have a bit of Irish in me. I do eat the corned beef and cabbage on St Paddy’s Day. I love it. Why yes, I am wearing green. I rate The Quiet Man one of/if not my all time favorite movies. I think I am a sucker for most accents but an Irish brogue is especially yummy. So top of the muffin to you, Lassie. I’m off to have a wee stretch of the legs.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Would you dance an Irish jig for me if I asked you to? *waits*
Well, I wore my green ‘Keep Calm and Teach On’ t-shirt today and paired it with bright orange sneakers. If that ain’t Irish, then I don’t know what is! 😉
