Rosie The Ribeter

Today is Frog Jumping Jubilee Day! Today is a celebration that is known for being held in Calaveras County. They have frogs compete to see who's frog can jump the best. The grand prize is $5,000 dollars, which in my opinion is well worth the months of trying to train a frog. However, with my not knowing where to find a frog around where I live (and my non-existent ability to train one), I fear I will be unable to participate in the competition! I can however, watch videos of past races or even just videos of frogs jumping. In slow motion. Like they have on discovery channel. I will also jump more often than I normally do today. That should about cover it, right?

Monet Makes The World Go 'Round.

Today is International Museum Day! Thousands of museums participate in this day by having some sort of event acknowledging the important role of art, history, and science in culture. I could not find one of these museums near me that I could afford, but I DID go to a museum and snap some pics. Here ya go!

So spend some time enjoying and appreciating a museum or even just one piece of art/time of history/facet of science today. It's easy, fun, and I had a nice 2 hour walk around town looking at awesome stuff! Have fun!

Mt. Nostalgia

Today is Pack Rat Day! I learned on May 10th's holiday that I was a very large pack rat. So many of the things I own are useful only for instigating nostalgia. However, the title of today's holiday could mean I should celebrate it in one of two possible ways. One: I clean up my hoard, or Two: I embrace my inner pack rat and do absolutely nothing about it. See, After I cleaned my room, I rearranged it completely. As in, everything was moved to another part of the house and brought back in. The problem is, everything but my bed is now in a pile of disarray due to some of my furniture breaking. Until I get a new desk at the very least, most of the things will remain stacked according to their size/purpose. I also bought containers to fill with the things I still wanted, but didn't want in my room. However, due to my not wanting to do work today and the fact that the car I put the containers in is gone for the day, I think I'll celebrate today by not doing anything about my hoard. Maybe I'll even add to it.
