World Dance Day

April 29, 2013

Happy World Dance Day!

After I returned my library books, I planned on having a full on dance improv session in an abandoned BYU studio. But alas, the library was closed and felt all out of sorts. I had to rush home to help with some birthday festivities. I danced as I sang happy birthday in the street. I had my own dance session in my bathroom. Can't beat that really. Actually you can, I tell myself that to make me feel better :)

Morse Code Day

Happy Morse Code Day!

Today on Facebook I posted the following message:

Arbor Day

April 26, 2013

Happy Arbor Day!

Bright and early this morning I made my way to a graduation convocation. After several heart palpitations and fancy maneuvers through traffic I made it to the ceremony. Whilst nestled in throng of family members I reminisced with Aunt Sam about our graduation experiences.

 "The man handing out the diplomas at my graduation was this sweet tree and bug  professor. I liked him."

"Did you hug him?" I asked.

"Yes I did."

"Ohp.... Speaking of trees.... Happy Arbor Day. Feel free to plant something. " Following this was a lovely chat about the magic of fruit trees, which you will simply just have to imagine. On my way home I passed avenues upon avenues and streets next to street  brimming with white and pink blossoms. The town was blooming! Ah! I love spring! Don't you just love spring?!  The most delicious part of the year! :)

Red Hat Society Day

April 25, 2013

Happy Red Hat Society Day!

I wish I had something crazy exciting to say like I wore a loud purple dress and a voluminous red hat whilst zipping down the interstate on a motorcycle with my cheeks flapping in the wind.  Alas, I cannot. What I can tell you is that I konked out in my tree house of a bed, my mother came in, woke me up and I said in my slumbering stupor, "Quick! Take my photo in this red hat. " that's pretty much how it went down. I assure you it probably won't be the last time I wear a red hat. That's all I have to say.

Administrative Assistant's Day

Happy Administrative Assistant's Day!

My mom is an administrative assistant and I thought to myself, "Self, what would make mom really happy today?" Answer: vacuum. So that's what I did. Happy Administrative Assistants Day

Macaroni Day

April 23, 2013

Happy Macaroni Day!

Something about this orange gooey goodness transports me right back to my childhood! I can't decide which I like better...the way the mess squelches whilst being stirred in the pan or the delightful shot of cheese sauce that explodes in my mouth when I chomp through a stray noodle. I definitely have the blue box blues.

Jelly Bean Day

April 22, 2013

Happy Jelly Bean Day!

This was an exceptionally exciting day for my mother. For the past week or so she's asked me daily, "is it jelly bean day?!" When asked "what is your favorite candy?" She bobs up and down in her chair, twirls her wrists around and squeals, "JELLY BEANS YAY!" Today I thought I'd surprise her with an assortment of gourmet jelly bellies with an intriguing new mystery flavor!

Kindergarten Day

April 21, 2013

Happy Kindergarten Day!

Today was a day to reminisce about kindergarten. After watching the oldest movie we own, Home Alone 2,  all the unfortunate photos were dusted off and gawked over. Now I remember why we don't look at those pictures too often. :)

Record Store Day

April 20, 2013

Happy Record Store Day!

Remember how music stores close at inconvenient times... Truth... This is what happened to me... So I stood disgruntled in front of this particular establishment and breathed in its aura. To drown my sorrows I danced the night away with friends and ate my weight in bacon! Success.

Hangout Day

April 19, 2013

Happy Hangout Day!

Today is a day for fun and friendship. Hanging out with my sister and my adorable nieces, swinging by the mall, catching up with my best friend in all the world, and finishing the night with an epic birthday dance party. Doesn't get much better than that. Enjoy those around you today and just take a moment to hang out.

High Five Day

April 18, 2013

Happy High Five Day!

Man, today was a cop out. At the very last possible moment if the day as everyone was falling asleep, I ran into my parents' room, and shoved my hands into their faces and yelled "high five!!!!!" Once they slapped my hands, I ran away from whence I came.

Haiku Poetry Day

April 17, 2013

Happy Haiku Poetry Day!

I shared this holiday on Facebook and I was pleasantly surprised with those individuals who came up with poems I'd their own. Well done. Here was mine:

A burger with cheese

No lettuce or tomato

Extra bacon please.

I may or may not have been enormously hungry when I wrote this....and yes...this would not be my ideal hamburger....far too much greenery....although the meat levels are satisfactory.

McDonald's Day

April 15, 2013

Happy McDonald's Day!

Dad: Stephanie, what do you want for dinner?

Me: McDonalds of course?

Mom: Of course?

Me: It's McDonald's Day!

*insert car doors slamming, engine roaring, putt putt putting through a drive through, static on the intercom etc etc* 

We drove up to the window and Dad asked us, " do you think these employees know it's McDonald's day?"

No they don't, you'd better inform them. 

The window schlunk open and dad said " happy McDonald's day. Did you know it's McDonald's day. "

I had no idea!

"We'll now you know. "

The end. 

Moment of Laughter Day

April 14, 2013

Happy Moment of Laughter Day!

Today I was lying on my parents' bed and I'm not sure if it was the commercial on tv or simply because I was in what I call "the laugh position" but man, I was on one! I laughed one of those delicious belly laughs for five minutes.

Scrabble Day

Drop Everything and Read Day

April 12, 2013

Happy Drop Everything and Read Day!

I checked out a butt load of art books from the library, locked myself in my "alcove" and powered through them. Granted there are only pictures on these books but lets be honest.... I only look at pictures when I read anyways so it's all the same really.

Happy Deep Dish Pizza Day!


ife list goals and cheesy deliciousness.... It doesn't get much better than that really. All my life I've had visions of working with glass creating everything from intricate swirling chandeliers to custom tableware. All I need is an eye patch and I'd be a regular Dale Chihuly. Today, as part of my birthday celebration, my dream came true and I made my own blown glass flower. The first of many things to come to be sure! Then we celebrated my life with a meat lovers deep dish!  Best day ever.
