Green is the Colour

Green was the colour that I wore from morning to night on St. Patrick’s Day. For the Spring 5K, I ran in my green tutu and a little leprechaun hat to match. It’s important to accessorize.

For the nighttime festivities, I wore green hair to coordinate with my green top and eye shadow. The secret is you have to coordinate. Most people don’t coordinate. You got to coordinate.

Honestly, it was fun to make a spectacle of myself and quite easy to be green for a day. Funny though, even after several pints of cider, I didn’t feel at all green the next morning and that’s a good thing.

You ROCK the green, mama! And I absolutely agree coordinating accessories are a must. 😉 Love the song choice, too! 🙂

What fun! I’m sorry, but in that get-up you look so much like Lady GaGa! For real. And what an appropriate song. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

I found myself smiling as I read your escapades 🙂 I’m glad you had such fun!

And you always find the perfect song to your documentation!

Have a great week!

Wow! I love seeing that sea of green! I went out on St. Patrick’s Day and hardly anyone was wearing green. I like your green wig.

OMG You are so lucky I wasn’t there! I would’ve been screaming and yelling you on girl! WOO HOO & check out the song you put with this you are just too cool! I sure wish I could run like you. Never could do that – not even when I was healthy. LOL

I love that you ran in a green tutu, you are awesome!
I also think that you looked adorable going out that night. We usually go all out with our Irish attire, Bill looks like a leprechaun even. This year I had a horrendous migraine and we had to stay home. =)
I loved the Pink Floyd song you posted, it really had the Irish feel to it. Made me feel warm and fuzzy.
