Kiss Me, I'm Irish (Looking)

It's St. Patrick's Day (well, it was about an hour ago), the one day where everyone 1) informs me that I have red hair (because I hadn't noticed over the past 27 years) and 2) assumes that I'm Irish because of it. I'm actually half-Norwegian thank-you-very-much...


St. Patrick's day is pretty much lost on me since I don't drink. I went out with friends tonight and I'm pretty sure most of the people at the bar had been drinking since the early afternoon. The picture above is actually from last summer when I was in Vegas, where my drink of choice was a Shirley Temple. All the flavor minus the likelihood of turning into a hot mess by the end of the night. I think I can live with that...

It was a nice way to kick off the official start of spring break (at least it was the official start for me, since I was smart enough to schedule four day weekends this semester). I've been in a funk all week (it's actually a funk I've been in this entire semester, it just seemed to be extra funky this week) and this was a good way to just relax and not think about all of the things that have been keeping me up the past few nights. And unlike most of the people at the bar tonight, I'll be waking up without a hangover... :)
