Holiday Fun!

In honor of August--aka The Month Where Nothing Happens--I've decided to look back on the holidays so far in 2010 and I will try to remember what I did. Let's start with--of course--

• New Year's Day--According to my planner, it seems that my cousins from Rochester were visiting! (Apparently.) I'm sure it was buckets of fun. You can always count on mah four cousins (codenames Mollster, LineyLo, ChiefM, and BurgerB) for a rambunctious visit. I'm seeing them soon, actually--can't wait!!
• Epiphany--I got to celebrate the historical significance of the magi visiting the baby Jesus and bestowing upon him frankincense, myrrh, and gold with an ERB test at school. Lovely.
• Martin Luther King, Jr. Day--No school--w00t! After a quick stop at the Wilton Playshop, it was off to see "The Lovely Bones" in Norwalk with HaleYes, Shanaynay, MegOCals, and SKatz. Very fun.
• Groundhog Day--Must have been uneventful. But then again, I celebrate privately.
• Valentine's Day--Next year, I hope my mailbox isn't as lonely on February 14th. I'm sure I ate something yummy, though.
• Mardi Gras--I do remember a French class bonanza complete with beads and dancing (ugh....) and I'm pretty sure my whole family pigged out. For Lent this year, I gave up cookies. Next year I'm giving up all after-dinner foods. Be warned.
• I missed Purim, for some reason.
• St. Patrick's Day snuck up on a Wednesday! It's also my cousin (codename ABanana)'s birthday. Hope he had fun playing Digibak, or Pokeformers, or whatever.
• Palm Sunday! Lent ends, and you know what that means next--church all week, basically!
• AND EASTER! Count on a great partay in Marlboro for a celebration commemorating the resurrection of the Messiah, juxtaposed with a creepy hare who hides unborn chickens in your lawn for your children to find and fight over! And I wore a smokin' shirt.
• Mother's Day--Yet another excuse for Mater to make us do stuff around the house while she watches Bravo! I love life.
• Memorial Day--The annual parade in town is where I was at, sporting a Wilton shirt and tootin' on Clarence the clarinet (now retired). Besides that, it went by really fast and I'm sure I had a lot of homework or something.
• Father's Day--Like Mother's Day, only no one cared.
• 4th of July--New Jersey with the fam. A night at the beach. Glowsticks. Fireworks. Smoothies. What could be better? Idk.

Well, that's it so far. I wonder what the rest of the year will bring me. A birthday, maybe. Christmas and stuff. Unless the world ends before that. If so, send me gifts now. Just in case. Thank you kindly.
