Top of the Muffin To You!

  Happy Saint Patrick's Day, people! I know it's a little late, but I don't really give a...
  Whoo. Almost said something...regrettable, there. Sorry if any children read this. 
  My background is shamrocks right now, even though it's over. I cling to things, in case you haven't noticed. Except Valentine's Day. That can go straight to...
  Oops. Almost regrettable again. Man, I've got to stop doing that.
  In my school, the junior high kids--who are kept in a separate wing like zoo animals--are all exceptionally small, for some reason, and they shrink even more each year. I was going to be in the language lab St. Patty's Day, which would put me right outside their zoo--I mean, wing. And I was going to trap one in green, sell them as a leprechaun, and make millions. Unfortunately, I forgot my net, so that plan went down the toilet. I didn't even get a doughnut with green frosting or sprinkles like I usually do, or a shamrock sugar cookie. Which meant, food- and money-wise, this Day totally blew.
  Anyway...
  What I want to talk about here is baseball. A lot of people I know go nutzo over it, and since spring training has started (I'm probably late on that, too, I know), I figured I might as well list my favorite teams, probably in no particular order, just as I remember them. 
  1. The San Diego Padres
  2. Toronto Blue Jays 
  3. San Francisco Giants (shut up, Dad) 
  4. The Bears 
  No, not the whoever-it-is Bears; I'm talkin' the Bad News Bears here, people. With Toby Whitewood and Rudy Stein and Kelly Leak (first name Irish, by the way, so I thought it would fit in quite nicely with the St. Patrick's Day/random baseball theme) and Amanda the spitball-throwin' ace and the kid who likes Hank Aaron. They are one of my favorite teams. Seriously. And, by the way, if you have not yet seen this movie like I told you to, then you are just afraid to let yourself be happy. 




  HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY! DON'T GET TOO DRUNK, BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN'T READ MY BLOG! LOVE ALL YOU LEPRECHAUNS OUT THERE! REPRESENT!
