St. Patricks Day

This is a 'holiday' i never really understood. I am not Irish, but growing up in this part of the country, i am one of the only people i know with no Irish in them. I used to hate in school when we would make shamrocks and call our selves things like 'amy o'bonaparte' thats not name. Corned beef and cabbage makes me want to hurl, Irish music is terrible. But i married an irish dude, so i am forced to participate in St patricks day. But all is not lost with this non-holiday, it is the official start to the count down till my birthday!! (one week!!!!) So i will drink my green beer to that!!
