happy st. patricks day! not much to report today - just 2 things that made me crack a huge smile on my way to work the past 2 days.

1. yesterday i wore flip flops to work (not at all out of the norm for me, and honestly it wasn't that far out there). walking from my apt to the metro, however, i noticed that nearly every single person i walked past looked at me, looked at my feet and either sighed or looked disaprovingly at me. after the like 15th person did this to me i couldn't help but laugh. sometimes it's nice to know i'm not in the washington mold.

2. walking to work today in my birkies (no looks today - just yesterday with the purple flip flops - interesting) and green sweater i walked past this big irish guy blasting bagpipe music out of his beat up truck at 9:00am. doesn't get much better than that. again, coudln't help but laugh.

on a different note - when did it become optional to wear green on st. patrick's day? i'm like the only person (save one intern) at work who seemed to remember. i've been trying to resist the urge to pinch everyone - i don't think it would go over that well :)

missing elementary school a little today!
