Mark your Calendars!

It might just be me, but I'm getting a little tired of the winter doldrums. My kiddos at school, God love them, are turning me prematurely gray. The weather won't make up its mind {honestly, I think that beautiful Saturday we just had only made things worse}. We need a holiday--a real one that doesn't just involve furniture sales. 

Well, never fear, everyone! There are some super fun days ahead, so get ready to celebrate. I might even share how I plan on celebrating, and you should do the same! 

Most of the "days" left in February are rather dull, so let's look ahead to March! First of all, in case you didn't know, March is Women's History Month! Some fun ways to celebrate could be to learn about some amazing women and the amazing things they did, like Amelia Earhart and Alice Paul. Or dress like your favorite woman from history...or just be appreciative of women and stop being sexist or chauvinistic. Just a suggestion or two!

Now, I won't go overboard, but I'm sure I can find something for you to celebrate each and every day of this month. Let's begin!

March 1:  World Compliment Day!
March 2:  Dr. Seuss Day! {You could celebrate in a house! You could celebrate with a mouse! You could celebrate here! You could celebrate there! You could celebrate anywhere!}
March 3:  Mulled Wine Day! {This should be a good day. A good, good day.}
March 4:  Grammar Day! {I already have a blog post planned}
*March 4th is also Day of Unplugging! So turn off your devices and spend some time with the people you love!
March 7:  Cereal Day!
March 8:  Women's Day! {What an appropriate day to dress like your favorite woman, be it Cher, Eleanor Roosevelt, or some amazing blogger who always brightens your day...how did that get there?}
March 10:  DAY OF AWESOMENESS! It's officially on the calendar in case, you know, you wanted a whole day just to be awesome.
March 14:  International Ask a Question Day & Pi Day!
March 17:  Submarine Day! If you have the ability to go on a submarine, go for it! Or eat a submarine sandwich. It's your choice.
March 18:  Awkward Moments Day! {So...no different from every other day?}
March 20:  International Day of Happiness & Storytelling Day!
March 22:  Goof Off Day! It's official. No one can judge you today.
March 23:  PUPPY DAY! {AKA, bring puppies to school day so I can cuddle with them and have zero cares}

March 25:  Waffle Day!
March 27:  Easter! {Just in case you weren't sure when it was this year}
March 29:  Pencil Day & Take a Walk in the Park Day! {Do you suppose that means all children will have a sharpened pencil at the ready on this day?}
March 30:  Eiffel Tower Day! {Do you think the administration would mind if I took this day off? I mean, a flight to Paris takes a while}

If you're more of an all-month celebrator, then you're still in luck {maybe}. March is also Craft Month, Nutrition Month, and Caffeine Awareness Month! Think of how much knitting you can do while eating healthy and watching your caffeine intake...sooo much knitting!

~Stay Gold!

Being Kinda "Knotty"

Image
I have a confession to make. I'm about to bore you to tears. Okay, maybe not literally, but I'm writing about something I find terribly exciting, and there are those of you, dear readers, who may not agree. So I'm giving you an out. Right now, just stop reading. Is anyone still there? Good. Because we're about to get "knotty." I love to knit. There, I said it. If I could do nothing but knit, read, write, and drink tea, I'd be a very contented person. Not exciting, just contented. I've been knitting for a few years now. I wish I could say I learned from my grandmother or something that sounds much better than "I learned from Youtube." Actually, that doesn't sound too bad--Youtube is pretty indispensable when it comes to knitting. You can watch videos of all the stitches, which makes it easier to catch on sometimes. Up until recently, though, my knitting has not been varied. I knit scarves (the essential beginner project). I've

Who do you think you are?

How much do you know about where you came from?  I'm talking big picture here, not what you know about your home town or state. Genealogically.  Most of us know stories that have been passed down. We know that our grandmother's family has Irish roots, for example, and that our several-greats-grandfather fought in the continental army or that our great-grandmother's cousin just disappeared and there was never any trace of him after the Crash of '29. But how much do we really  know about our ancestors?  I am a bit of a genealogy nut--most of my family seems to be--and I have an ancestry.com account, which has proved most interesting to peruse. But all I know are names and some dates--I don't know anything about the kind of people they were, what they liked or disliked. They had children--were they good parents? Did she have a special recipe that she made at Christmas? Did he have a hobby like whittling or playing the guitar? Were there places she alwa

Questions: Round 1

In my last post, I asked for questions from my readers. I didn't have ridiculously high expectations--not because I don't have faith in my readers!!! But I know that if I read somebody's blog and they invited me to ask questions, I would be very hesitant to do so. Nobody wants to be first. Nobody wants to think that the blogger (me) is sitting there, laughing out loud at the questions and judging the asker. I get it. I promise I understand. I only had one intrepid reader who gave me some fodder for my blog posts, which is fine. I actually was not surprised by the fact that this reader gave me so many questions to answer. Of course, to understand why, one must go back to our time at ISU when she was working a late shift at the Info Desk in the student center and I was sitting in our dorm room when a Facebook chat window popped up, begging for some kind of question/answer quiz she could take before she died of boredom. Add to that hours and hours of Sporcle quizzes (hence
