Update in the Life of Emily

For what seemed like the first time in my life, I actually made a conscious effort to wear lots and lots of green (thereby also avoiding the pinching) this St.Patricks Day! Every visible piece of clothing I wore that day was green, except for my shoes of course.
My Green Wardrobe:
-sea green fuzzy socks (resembles mold poking through my shoes!)
-corderoy deep green skirt
-funky green ribbon-like belt
-green "everyone loves an Irish girl" t-shirt that I picked up for $5 in Bemidji
-comfy green zip-up hoodie
-dangley earrings with lots of little green "jewels"
-and as a piece' du (de?) resistance' I smudged on some green eyeshadow (yeah, I know you are all like...."WHAT, EMILY, in...MAKEUP?????.....must be her most rebellious act since Jr.High..." (rolls eyes!) yeah, but hey, it was St.Patricks Day!

Upon returing to my house I realized that I had recieved some mail, an unusual and generally exciting experiance. Some mail from church which...actually slips my mind at the moment, because I was severly more preoccupied with the larger and thicker piece of mail which contained my long awaited grad proofs!

After despondently flipping through them the first go round I sorted through again and found a few that were passable. I think I have now narrowed it down to two. Note: Beware of the up and coming opinion solicitations.


Following some quality JM (Jerusalem Market Place!) I was invited to The Green Party.

It was a pretty sweet get together which included many other green things. Amoung such green activities were the following:
-making green pancakes (opps, for some reason the picture re-oriented itself...meh)
-eating mint chocolate chip ice cream
-eating lots of other green food stuffs
-pass the green onion, a game which warrent some explanation; it's kinda like pass the potato in the aspect that when you hear the music playing you continue to pass the green onion and stop when the music stops, but instead of taking a layer off a present you had to eat the green onion in less than 30 seconds, I ate my share on the last round, the room stank like onion breath for much of the remaining evening
-green finger painting, fairly self-explanitory, I made a leprechaun
-the signing of the Green Party oath....may or may not have binded me to vote Green for the rest of my life, not entirely sure "I hereby pledge to forever join the Green Party of Canada conditional to my signing this form and or entering this household."

Yay!

The evening concluded for me around 12:45 when I realized that I would not be free to sleep in and go for a run, but I had to wake up at 6am for a long day of work. Boo Urns! Happy Belated St. Patricks Day!!!
