Remiss in holiday updates…

What a lagger I’ve been.  If you’ve been following these bizarre holidays of April, please allow me here to catch up.

April 21st, Kindergarten Day, which is why I just didn’t want to post this on that day.  OMG!  What a baby.

And you’d think I’d come to my senses to celebrate Earth Day on the 22nd, but it was also Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day, and Take Our Children to Work Day.  Wow.

I got kicked out of Brownies when I was in Kindergarten; I’m still smarting over that one.  Like I would honor a Girl Scout Leader who tries to get me to buy yucky cookies at $4 a box…  I don’t think so.   So of course I deprived my daughter of that Scouting experience.  She’d only be in it for the cookies.  I know her!

As for the bring her to work day…  Been there.  Done that.  The only person who learned anything was me.  That no work gets done when you bring your kid with you.

So that left Earth Day.  I picked up trash in the park and hugged a tree.

Next.

April 23rd.  Home Run Day, International Sing Out Day, and William Shakespeare’s birthday.  How tough is that?  Write-eth a sonnet about opening day, and sing out:

Hank Aaron hit-eth a homer this day.

Let’s celebrate in an eloquent way.

“Oh Henry,” we shout.

As we dance all about.

And throw beer in the air, Oy Vey!

Whoops.  That was more limericky than Shakespearean.  Oh. Will.

So because I’m so uncouth, let us just slink out of the 23rd and head to the big celebration on the 24th:  Pigs-in-a-Blanket day!

Man vs. Food where are you?  He ate them all gone including the tray.  Time to move on to the very next day.  Which is Today!

Sunday, April 25th:

Better get out of bloat land and head over to New Zealand and Australia to celebrate Anzac Day!  Yay!  I have no clue what they do on that day.  Do you? Better call someone to find out and kill two birds with one stone to do National Telephone Day.  Now that there are so many cell phones, I don’t know that many people that still have phones.  We have them, but nobody calls me on the home phone but solicitors.  Yay for caller ID!  Maybe we should change the holiday name?  I celebrate that more than the phone…

So now that I have all that out of the box, I’m ready to start the week afresh on Monday!  Enjoy your day of Rest.  As for me, I’m off to Fun My Way out of the Box!
