    I am from Boston, MA. We love St Pattys day. We are closed today for Evacuation Day (or so that is what it is offically called). Sunday is our big parade.

    Gotta love being IRISH in BOSTON :love:

    Lucky!!! :smile:

    I'm outside Toronto Canada, my family is from Coleraine. We celebrate by doing a dolly green themed breakfast but for dinner I make either Bubble and Squeak or colcannon and corned beef.

    I've been craving bubble and squeak so that's likely what we'll have tomorrow!

    Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!

    Hi, I'm 1/2 dark Irish from my moms side. And I will be going for my morning walk n jog, feeding the community bringing over 60 cookies, hopefully getting a babysitter and hitting up our pub craw (Which I've never been), then hitting up my sister in laws glow in the dark party:tongue: This will take place in AR Hoping it will be a very eventful, fun day.

    Driving from Cork to Tipperary - Not long way to go!!!

    A weekend of Sports(Ireland v England on St. Patricks Day gotta love it), parades, Mothers Day and a long weekend to boot...could more temptations be put in my way?

    It's going to willpower all the way and everything in moderation, to use just a few classic phrases to get me through the weekend.

    Lá Fheile Phádraig to all.

    I'm from Dublin, live in Westmeath and tomorrow will bring the kids to the parade and then maybe back to the pub for our dinner (not a fan of drinking with kids in tow!).

    I bought hats, badges, t-shirts, face paints, flags, green hair spray and tri-colour hair clip ins today. I have a cool pink paddy's day cowboy hat :) I'm such a loser!!

    Down with this "patty" ****e!

    Hello all! Erin Go Bragh!

    I am 75% Irish and VERY proud!

    Unfortunately, I will be working this St. Patty's Day and won't be able to see the parade in NYC (I live on Long Island). Very upset about that :(

    Also, tomorrow marks "Lucky 7" for me- 7 years since my scoliosis surgery! Luck of the Irish, let me tell you!

    Happy St. Patty's Day all!

    I'm originally from Dublin. My first name is Aisling, and my maiden name is O'Grady. We live in Portland, OR so of course we have to go to Kell's for the St. Paddy's day festival! My daughter is so excited, she wants to have the flag painted on her face (again).

    Already made some soda bread for my coworkers today, making potato soup for dinner, and tomorrow we will be dining on lamb stew and shephards pie.

    Hi! I have been a member of fitness pal for over a two years and just started using it today! Glad to be part of the community and wanted to say that I will be celebrating in Springfield, IL-the sister city of Killarney, Ireland, and I am 20% Irish. :) I think that's enough to count!! Enjoy the weekend everyone!
