I hate April Fools Day. People play so many mean tricks on other people; it just isn’t right. I can remember as a little girl having horrible tricks played on me by the other students at school. It got to the point where I refused to go to school on April Fools Day. I’m thinking about calling in sick tomorrow, just to avoid any nasty tricks my co-workers might try to play on me.
Well, during the past few days we have had the first day of spring, and the Easter celebration. I liked decorating Easter eggs with my mother and sisters when I was a little girl. It gave me a chance to express my artistic nature while socializing with my family, and that was nice. It always upset me afterwards, though, when my father would break open my works of art to eat the hard-boiled egg! When I got older I learned how to blow the insides out of the egg so that I could decorate the egg shell and never worry about the shell being broken on purpose to eat the egg. So I have managed to decorate and save several eggs that I bring out every year to put in a basket to decorate the foyer.
I like Wednesdays, my co-workers call Wednesday “Hump Day.” At first I thought that they were being vulgar, but when they explained that it meant that the work week is half-way over on Wednesday, that is “over the hump and downhill from here” then I realized that it was not a bad thing at all. So, now I like Wednesdays, because then I can start to look forward to the weekend!
Well, it has taken a few days for my body to adjust to the Daylight Savings Time. I find that I have a harder time adjusting to the spring change than to the autumn change. The hardest part is convincing my stomach that it really is NOT time to eat yet! My stomach disagrees mightily with me on that point!
I was reading a news article about how the experts say that the idea behind Daylight Savings Time was to save energy, but that recent research suggests that has NOT been the result; in fact the opposite is true. MORE energy has been spent on air conditioning offices in the summer time. The experts have suggested (from what I understand ) that the Daylight Savings Time be completely abandoned. I would like to say that I would really like just stick with one or the other, this back and forth business is awful!
Well, this being the beginning of a weekend, I think it is a good time to start my blog! First of all, welcome to my personal blog. I hope to use this blog to talk about things that interest me. This could range from social issues, environmental issues, educational issues, political issues, to the normal mundane things like pets and friends and family, just to name a few. I will probably also include posts about product reviews, I like to talk about how I like or don’t like things that are available to buy.
