Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Wonder where my Jell-O egg molds are and if I could have green eggs and ham for dinner tonight. I should read Cattus Petasatus today too.

Google has a pretty good doodle for today too. It's real cute.

MOM!! You change your clock tomorrow and I don't.

I'm still the same number of miles away even if the clock now says I'm three hours away instead of two.

I can't remember if I panicked on Monday or not. I might have missed Panic Day! Now I'm worried!

I'm all set for Pi Day tonight though. We are going to have several varieties of PIe, all round. We're watching IQ. And because tomorrow is the Ides of March, we're eating Little Caesar's pizza. Should be a roaring geek time!

And I'm all set to enjoy Spring Break next week. I have big plans to do homework and quilt. Exciting, I know.

Happy Birthday Relief Society!
I think I shall make bread to commemorate.

Happy First Day of Spring!

To celebrate I'm going to go see if Wal-Mart has it's wall-o-sunscreen and get some stuff for my face.

It's kind of sad that the first day of Spring marks the last day of Spring Break though. Back to work on Monday.

I made bread yesterday instead of Tuesday, but I still thought of the Relief Society when I did it.

And you know I'm going to be all over National Quilt Day tomorrow! I've had some fun quilting related stuff happen this week that I'll be talking about soon on my blog.

You can trust me, I'm doing no housework today. I like this day. It's not going to be a no homework day though. Ah well, a person can't have everything.

I've added another column on the right of the front page so that you can see what is new on both of my blogs, my regular random blog and my book review blog, right from here. I think that's pretty neat. I write more on my blog than I do here, and you don't want to miss any of the good stuff.

There's snow on the mountains. It's Tucson. It's April. Does that not seem strange to anyone else?

And I completely missed draw a picture of a bird day on the 8th. So I hope this picture I took of a bird two weeks earlier will count.

and for tomorrow...

12 April 2009, Sunday

It was several years ago now that someone in a talk on Easter Sunday mentioned that they have a tradition of rising early on Easter morning and watching the sun rise. That felt like a good tradition to have that would really mean something on Easter Sunday. I'm all about candy and new clothes, but I just can't get behind the idea of a bunny hiding eggs. I also think eating a ham on Easter is a bit weird since the timing of it is based on a Jewish celebration.

I wrote about my thoughts this morning watching the sunrise on my blog: Risen.

Another tradition I have for Easter are watching the video Special Witnesses of Christ . This video was made a couple of years ago and features testimonies of the Savior by the living Prophet and Apostles. It was filmed at various locations around the world. Each year as I watch it, something new catches my attention and my testimony of my Savior grows even more.

I watched the sky a lot today. I watched it go from a beautiful bright clear sunrise to a darkening cloudy sunset. It was a fun sky to watch on "Look up at the sky day."

And I did play a scrabble type game yesterday too, for "Scrabble day."

Now to go finish up my state taxes before "Tax Day" tomorrow.

I don't know how much I'll be stressing on "National Stress Awareness Day" though because things are going real well in my life right now. I'm truly blessed.

Happy Earth Day! & Discovery of Brasil!

Three more weeks of this semester. Prepare for me to be a bit stressed and out of it for the next three weeks. Three more big papers/presentations to go. At least I'm not having nightmares about statistics this semester.

What a wonderful day to dance the May Pole! That is one tradition I miss. I'll just have to enjoy the flowers on my own.

I hope your May Day is full of flowers.

I feel it is fitting that on this day, Lost Sock Memorial Day, that I got the last of my laundry put away for this week, my pile of socks. And they are all there too. No lost socks this time.

The semester is officially over. It ended real well, no scary statistics dreams this time. I'm on a three week break until the Summer terms start. I'll be grading for the first Summer term and teaching the second one. It'll keep me busy, but not too busy.

I'm also keeping busy finishing up a bunch of sewing projects I have laying around. It's nice to see them finish up and get where they belong.

Also, it's hot. Today we are only going to be in the upper 80s and it's such a relief from the last week it's almost sad. But I made full use of the cool breezy morning this morning and sat on my patio for a very long time just reading and enjoying.
