St. Patty’s Day!
I must have the worst immune system ever. I was home sick again today. Sore throat. Runny nose. I went to the doctor and he gave me lots of super doctor things to help me feel better.
While I was home sick, I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day anyway! I reveled in the fact that my name is Irish (my name is Caitlin, if you didn’t know) and I pretended that I was Irish. In reality, I don’t know what I am so I can pretend whatever I want. I’m adopted, if you weren’t aware of that either. My adoptive parents have a lot of Irish in them, though, so I have every right to celebrate.
I made a pretty St. Patrick’s Day boutonniere, too. Don’t you love it? You can make one yourself here.
So, you learned a lot about me in this post, huh? Why don’t you ask me some more questions. That’s right. I’m doing the whole “ask me whatever you want” deal. So, lets play “Ask Caity!” I’ll answer all your questions on Saturday. Well, all those that I deem appropriate, but I think that’s a given.

I’m adopted too, except that I have absolutely NO irish in me anywhere. I’m an Italian girl raised by an Polish family. :) I always got sick on St Patricks Day.. It always sucked since it was my birthday :)

I hope you feel better Caity, and I learned something about you! :)
Aww Caity, I’m sorry to hear you’re sick again! :( That bites. I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
As for the Irishness, it doesn’t matter whether you’re Irish or not, because everyone is on St Patrick’s Day, hehe. And since you don’t really know your biological ancestry, you can assume you’re part Irish anyway. :)
I love your St Patrick’s Day boutonniere! I have no idea what that actually is, but it’s pretty. :) I wanted to do some St Patrick’s Day crafts this year too but none of the stores seemed to be selling any Irish-themed embellishments (I know, it’s a travesty!). I settled for turning a Mr Potato Head into a leprechaun, lol.
I’m half Irish, so I guess I have an excuse to celebrate… but I really don’t care about St. Patrick’s Day! :P I wore green, but that was partially because I don’t have a lot of clothes to choose from (most stuff is in the wash).
I’m sorry you’re sick. :( Hopefully you get better soon!
I hope you get well soon. My immune system decided to turn on me as well. Now I’m stuck with the flu in combination with cystitis. Normally I don’t get sick that easily, but when I get sick, like now, it’s always pretty bad.
I didn’t know you were adopted. At least, I don’t think I did… It seems like new information, so I’m going with that.
Feel better! I feel like I say that to you a lot :(
Ick, I hope you feel better !!! I love the boutonniere, very nice =)
Hmm, questions! What are your top 3 favorite memories of you and Josh from when you were dating?
What is Moko’s favorite toy? (haha figured I’d include Moko!)
your immune system and mine must be related to eachother…i really hope your better today!
i am irish but apparently my hair color has seeped into my brain and done damage. i forgot it was st. p day!!
I completely forgot about St. Patrick’s Day until I saw lots of people wearing green! :C Ah well… I’m not Irish. I hope you feel better soon, being sick is never fun.
I’m in England but St. Patrick’s Day isn’t mentioned all that much, though more than our own saint’s holiday.
You’re Irish by proxy :) Sometimes a person who actively decides something will be the stronger candidate for it because they have more passion. Get well soon!
