(above: celebrating this year at Geraghty's Pub)
As if life in general & the fact that it's "almost" the weekend isn't reason enough to crack open a brew this evening--it's St. Patrick's Day too! Which is definitely an obligatory day of drinking in my book. I think I've even read somewhere that it's bad luck to pass up drinks on this fine holiday...and I certainly don't want that! It's a funny day, when everyone appears to have some Irish heritage that they cling to whilst donning kelly green (which is a universally flattering color--in my opinion) & hopefully, paying homage to Guinness in some way. It brings me back to my trip to Dublin with my husband, sister & brother-in-law. All I can say is-- good times. Very, very good times. My not-so-nice older sister, decided to take some Amy Winehouse-esque shots of me at my best on our last night in Dublin. That's just rotten & I'm not quite shameless enough to share those. But I will offer up some of the pics from our visit to the Guinness factory where I got to taste some of the most delicious Guinness I have ever been privy to. Today we should celebrate the smooth, rich taste of this famous stout.And I think we can all agree--Black is Beautiful.
Just for kicks--here is Cici's festive socks & leggings!
