There's a lot of "lace-curtain Irish" vs. "second wave Irish" delineation as well.
Signed, I may have been told I was first generation Scots-Irish as a child. After doing something the Scots side didn't appreciate. I'm fine with fully embracing my inner Celt, though; so what if one side of me doesn't exactly get the joke.
What about, say, O'Neill? Mc'O'Neill?
Yes. It was so weird. Also, do elementary schools spend so much time teaching you about holidays now. I feel like 1st grade was spent learning about every possibly holiday ever.

We planted trees for Arbor Day! We learned all about all the Presidents who had Days and Martin Luther King (who was not Martin Luther. Totally different guy). We learned the true meaning of Valentine's Day (which the teacher totally made up).
I could still sing you a song for Memorial Day.
Happy Leap Day! I feel like this needs to be celebrated somehow, but I have no idea what do to.
Everybody jump!
Then,
You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all about....

Juliana's celebrating it by getting married today.
I should have taken Leap Day off to properly celebrate. I'm not even wearing blue and yellow!

My whole body hurts from the inside out.
The office is mostly empty today, for which I am thankful. 3 of the 4 people I support are out, so perhaps I can do so energy/emotional recovery. All I really want to do is eat/sleep/shop/manicure.
