Today was St. Patrick's day, so I spent all day working at our now-annual corned beef & cabbage dinner to benefit the local habitat for humanity projects. I am exhausted and also ate too much (I didn't even manage to snag any dessert!) and I have to get up to help with the sequel tomorrow morning. If anyone tries to tell you that being a Christian is easy, appoint them deputy-and-general-errand-girl to the person organizing a church dinner. (Or, y'know, make them *be* the one organizing it, although that's a job you daren't give to but your very best.)
On the other hand we made over $2,000, gross proceeds going to charity, *and* we fed the new county executive! Not everyone can say that! And despite being Republican and male, he really is signficantly less evil than Owens was. Although having his security guard lurking in the Narthex was kind of, er, bizarre.
And being as the closest I come to being Irish is being descended from a couple of Presbyterians who stopped over in Ulster for a few generations on their way from Scotland to Maryland (even my German side is all Lutheran,) I wore my orange plaids, like I always do on St. Patrick's Day.
This is why I will never be one of the cool kids.
