HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!!!

Panda,

In honor of St. Patrick's Day I've made the font of this post green.

I am a disgrace. I'm shameful for my lack of enthusiasm for St. Patricks Day. I looked in my closet and didn't have ANY green to wear. None. Nada. Fin. That actually doesn't mean none. So instead I am wearing a shiny silky royal blue blouse with a black vest. Pathetic no? Perhaps I would be more into the holiday if I actually had fun exciting plans like you do. I'm just going to sit in my cubicle all day, then go to small group. Maybe small group will have something to do with St. Patty's day. I should've put green food coloring in my eggs this morning. That would've been perfect. Maybe I'll take my bro out for a green beer. Maybe... Nope, he has plans. And my parents are out of town. Looks like I will be spending tonight alone... (cue sympethetic 'awwwwww' from audience) Drinking alone makes you an alcoholic right?

In honor of this momentous day, I am going to share with you some little known facts about that wonderful man known as Saint Patrick.

1) He was actually British, not Irish. He was captured by the Irish when he was 16, spent 6 years in captivity, escaped, went back to Britain and studied to be a priest, then moved back to Ireland to minister to Christians there and convert the Irish. Sweet dude.
2) He didn't actually drive out literal snakes from Ireland (as there never really were any there to begin with). He did however metaphorically help drive out The Snake, aka The Devil, aka Mr. Stupid Face I Wanna Punch, through his ministry.
3) There is a rumor that St. Patty used clovers in his ministry, although not the typical 4 leaf clover you see for St. Patrick's day. No, he used the much more common 3 leaf clover to help explain the Holy Trinity. Think about it, there are three separate and distinct leaves of a clover, however they all work together to make one clover. IT FINALLY MAKES SENSE! Thanks Saint Patrick! (side note, there are approximately 1 four leaf clovers for ever 10,000 three leaf #startlooking)
4) St. Patrick might have been the first person in recorded history to speak out against slavery, which just increased him up to number 4 in my list of coolest people ever, right under Jesus, You, and Morgan Freeman.

All in all, I think these facts comfirm that St. Patrick was a wicked cool guy and totally deserves a day of rememberance and honor. I just wish it wasn't tainted with drunkenness. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy about that part.

Our printer isn't working in our office, which means I have to send stuff to the main printer up by the reception desk. It's a pain, but at the same time it's giving me more exercise than I'd normally get in the day.

Remember how I was supposed to have my first session with my new trainer last night? Didn't happen. I got there a little before 6 to warm up with some cardio before my session at 6:30. He had just arrived, did a session with someone else for 20 minutes, then as I was jogging on the treadmill, I saw him run out to his car and leave, never to return. I guess he had to go pick up his kids last minute, so I'm okay with that and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt taht he didn't tell me because I'm new and didn't have my number. So I wrote my name in his schedule book for tomorrow at 6:30. Hopefully he'll be there and I'll give him my number so he can text me next time. Oh T-Rizzle.

BTW, I noticed you said you don't know why you keep giving McDonald's coffee a second chance. Well technically you're not. You can't keep giving someone a second chance, that makes no sense. You give them a second chance, followed by a third chance, followed by a fourth chance, etc. #grammarpolice

So you know how you said it's better to snack on healthy stuff throughout the day? Well I'm trying that out today. For breakfast, I just ate my egg beaters and put my cereal in a bag and ate it at 9:30 today. I also packed a bag of carrot sticks for my afternoon snack. #yaynutrition!

I forgot to put my rings on again today. Once again, I feel naked without them. I hope you know that by rings, I mean the two rings I wear every single day, no exceptions (unless I forget). They are my purity ring and my Luna ring that you got me. Thought that might make you smile :)

I hope you have fun in your parade today. I am very excited for you. Remember, you throw candy TO the children, not AT the children. The latter is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

One of my guy friends at the gym is a pastry chef. I should get some ideas from his for our coffeehouse/bakery slash maybe just hire him. He's going to bring tiny danishes to us on Monday. He can't bring big ones because they are SUPER bad for you.

I don't have like any work to do today, so I'm hoping I'll be able to read up on how to open a coffeehouse. I'll keep you updated on what I learn.

It's hard to not watch TV. That's how I relax. And it's what I do when I'm eating. Eating by myself without the TV on is boring. I wish I had a husband to talk to. Or you.

I had two dreams last night. One involved me shooting bad guys in the head and heart (despite my violent language at times, this dream actually terrified me and left me traumatized) and one with the cast of Greek. In the latter dream we were trying to break into this rich guys mansion to steal back a necklace he took from Casey. We got the necklace, but also got caught and made a run for it. We were just about to escape when Casey changed her mind (like she always freakin' did in the show) and decided that maybe she should let the old rich guy keep it because maybe it meant something to him. I remember vividly saying "Oh no, you are not about to change your mind in the last second like you always!" Then I think I slapped her in the face. MAN! I was violent last night. But then we returned the necklace back to the old man. Turns out he really just wanted it for the money, so Casey was stupid.

Well I think this has already been too long.

Sincerely,
