St. Pat's Day in Chicago is different then it was in Cleveland. Here they celebrate St. Patrick's Day the Saturday before the 17th. Strange. Also no Catholic Schools are off for the day; even stranger. At least they dye the river green.
Saturday Angel and I ran in a St. Patty's day 5k. I was getting over a stomach virus (yuck) so I just jogged it in 29 minutes. Angel came in in 24 minutes (but I gave him the virus the next day ha ha). After the race they were handing out Guinness and Reubens. Just what you want at 8:30 am. (Actually they were delicious :) ) After the Race we headed over to the Naperville Parade, and then that night we ate dinner at Quigley's. Yum.
Last night was our community St. Patrick's day dinner. Once again we were the only ones under 65, but it was free food so whatever. There was also a community sing along. Old people love Danny Boy.
Today, the actual holiday, I wore green beads. That is all.
I really wanted one of these
but I gave up ordering food at a counter for Lent so I couldn't :( boo
