i am really looking forward to st. patrick’s day this year!  my mom (Joan Elizabeth O’Reilly) will be joining me in NYC for the special day of fun!  it will be my first time going all out in NYC on st. paddy’s.  i know- it is a little hard to believe.  mary catherine hasn’t ever really done the typical celebration.

st. patrick’s day has always been such an important holiday (equivalent to christmas) in my family that we all get together and just celebrate… not too much bar-hopping or green beer involved.  my mom always turned the milk green and sprinkled green confetti everywhere and told us a leprechaun visited in the wee hours of the day…

this year we are going to be decked out in green apparel and accessories and attend the annual st. patrick’s day parade on fifth avenue and then pub-hop to listen to celtic music and enjoy the day.  my mom will also be making my friends and i corned beef and cabbage (YAAAY!). 

my girlfriends and i are going to make t-shirts this weekend for the special day…

mine will read “PATRICK WAS A SAINT- I AIN’T!”

mom’s will read “OH REALLY?! NO-O’REILLY”

yay!
