Spring Yard

Spring yards are the best.

The only thing better than a spring yard is new mulch in a spring yard.

Blue Spaghetti

I came across a book I got in kindergarten in my office today, and I remembered something awesome.

It was picture day.  Grandma had me wear a dress, since that's a normal thing to do for little girls I guess.  I did not really like my dress, but I wore it.  As I was sitting in the chair getting the picture taken, some man was trying to get me to smile.  I was already not thrilled about this experience and then he tried to say something silly about how my dress had blue spaghetti on it.  What a mistake.

This is the picture, permanently located inside the book.

I got retakes.

Pi Day

If it happens all the time, it isn't special.

One time I found Scott staring at his tablet's "night sky" screensaver waiting for the infrequent shooting star to appear.  In that conversation, he said the now infamous Foley family saying, "If it happens all the time, it isn't special."  Ha.

On that note, today I write of some "special" things that have been happening.

All our stuff has been breaking, piece by piece. The internet. The PS3. Scott's phone. Scott's windshield.  All very special occurrences.  But on the plus side, there is nothing quite like driving around with a brand new windshield.  It's like removing a million tiny blind spots.

One of the revenue departments I work with decided to change their tax instruction booklet...you know, mid-way through the tax season.  ...  I could do with fewer special days like this at work.

The other day I was eating a banana. (This story is really hard to articulate, but just stick with me here.)  So part of the banana had a bruise on it, so I broke it off and set it inside the peel.  Once I was done, I was carrying the peel and bruised banana piece to the kitchen to throw it away.  Well, the bruised banana piece fell out of the peel at the exact moment my left leg was walking forward.  It hit my toe and flew across the room and just stuck to the wall.  The physics of this is just amazing to me.  What are the odds!?

March Madness begins this week.  My inner gambler is definitely in full force.  It will be really special when Scott and I win first and second place, I'm sure.
