Top 10 Favorite things that come from Ireland!

Okay, so today is St. Patrick's day! Greg and I discussed what list we could do, and since we know neither 10 bands from Ireland or 10 movies from Ireland we are going broad on this one.

10. Circle of Friends--a movie from 1998 starring Minnie Driver and Chris O'Donnell (both of Irish descent). I liked it! And, I liked the book it was based on by Maeve Binchy (also Irish)!

9. The Corrs--I like The Corrs--they harmonize beautifully, and I can't help but be in awe of the fact that they are all stunning...what is in that Irish water?

8. The Cranberries--very popular in the 90's!

7. Colin Farrell--actor-he did a guest spot on Scrubs-so he is a-okay in my books! (though he does come off a little greasy...)

6. Lucky Charms--okay, so maybe not really! But they are based on something Irish! mmmm....

5. The nifty accent--everything sounds happy when said with an Irish accent!

4. St. Patrick's day--it is a fun day to dress in green and be a little nutty!

3. U2--except for a few songs, these guys have consistently rocked for over 20 years!

2. Kerry--my name is Irish! Yay me! Kiss me I'm Irish!

And, at number 1...................................Irish jig please..............................................................

1. Bono--yes his band is mentioned above-but he has become a real humanitarian who uses his wealth and fame to better the world around him. Kudos to Bono!
