Irish Blessing: May your blessings outnumber the shamrock that grow and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
At a loss for words? Try kissing the Blarney Stone (Blarney Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland). Thought to give visitors exceptional powers of speech, the stone must be kissed upside down from a prone position. In an effort to ensure the safety of visiting kissers, Blarney Castle provides a worker to assist in the process. 
Hmmm...
The (St. Patrick's Day) pinch is a tradition that was started here in the states by school children. Wearing green is strictly a U.S. custom, as green is not a popular color in Ireland.

A few ideas to help you avoid the pinch:
I will pass on the green lipstick and green hair...but would definitely consider the bracelet.
A green, yummy fat-free alternative to ice cream...one of my fave frozen treats: lime sherbet. **I'm not a huge "fat-free" fan, but you know how I feel about lime...and this gets a thumbs up! 
And now...
FIT TIP (#9): Become a Fidgeter
fidg-et to move about restlessly, nervously, or impatiently.
I know, it doesn't sound very attractive. Guess what? Fidgeters burn 350-500 more calories a day than non-fidgeters.
Guess what else? I'm going to start fidgeting. Not ready to go public yet...but, I will definitely become a private fidgeter. Would you care to join me?
TRY THIS: While blogging, talking on the phone, or watching tv: wiggle and twist. **Just like those "antsy" people who are so annoying when you are trying to relax :)

Great decorations, AS ALWAYS!! I, too, LOVE the green bracelet! That's a lot of calories for a fidgeter to burn. I am bouncing my leg while I type now.
Haha...I'm thinking you have to be a pretty heavy-duty fidgeter to hit the 500 calorie mark. I'm fidgeting right now myself :)
I remembered St. Pat's Day once I got Spencer to school-dressed in blue and yellow. Nice. My mom use to make a green dinner, and I think my sisters do. I planned my menu yesterday and have tacos scheduled for tonight. Not very Irish or green. Oh well. I'll redeem myself at Easter.
