Fáilte, or welcome, to Wednesday Morning Bullet Posting, St Patrick's Day style.
- I considered changing the font color to green for today.
- Then I realized how annoying it would be for my blog peeps.
- So, I didn't.
- Beannachtaí na Féile Páraic oraibh!
- We, having the Irish in our genes, are planning to wear our green today.
- Did you know that the color originally associated with Naomh Pádraig was blue?
- I like blue better than green.
- I'll wear blue jeans with my green shirt.
- Sr Principal granted Neatnik and her schoolmates a uniform dispensation today: all students are wearing their gym pants and green shirts.
- Except for Neatnik, who is "celebrating" today with a 101.4°F fever.
- Gliondar.
- Dr PreciousMetal will enjoy seeing her dressed in green this afternoon.
- And I'm sure that he will enjoy receiving some of the other kind of green.
- Saw an epic win over on the Failblog yesterday.
- Don't be embarrassed: I kept clicking to replay from the 11 second mark, too.
Christ be beside meand a traditional Irish blessing:
Christ be before me
Christ be behind me
King of my heart
Christ be within me
Christ be below me
Christ be above me
Never to part
Christ on my right hand
Christ on my left hand
Christ all around me
Shield in my strife
Christ in my sleeping
Christ in my sitting
Christ in my rising
Light of my life
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Poor Neatnik - is she going to celebrate with green skin and queasiness?? Hope she feels better soon!
happy St. Pat's to you as well! :) All the very Italian kids in my neighborhood were wearing green this morning... and I asked my 11yo neighbor why? She said "St. Party's Day, when the Irish people drink."
Oh. my. A brief lesson on the patron saint of Ireland and she was on her way to school--- telling the other kids in her walking group "you're stupid-they don't drink today, it's re-lig-ous." lol
Poor wee Neatnik. Hope the green leaves her face quickly and she is better soonest.
So sad about Neatnik. Hubby had something with a high fever last week that sent us to the doc.
I love blue, too.
Beautiful hymn.
And I like the green font... happy birthday to me :)
(Shameless, I know!)
Ick. Poor Neatnik. I hope she feels better soon. The Karate Kid had a high fever last week that kept him home from Mon. to Thurs.. Doc said it was just a nasty upper respiratory virus and had to go away on it's own.
Btw, I love Mini's comment above mine. LOL
Get well soon, Neatnik!
I love that blessing and prayer.
