Frog Hopping Day


HAPPY FROG HOPPING DAY!

After school today, I got my haircut (which I love :} ) and then went over to my best friend’s house to make our senior crowns.  Halfway through, I remembered what day it was, so I told her to stay in the living room while I went into the kitchen, the next room over.  Coming back, I frog hopped my way over to her.  She nearly fell over with laughter.  “That was the greatest thing ever!” she said.  I smiled, but I didn’t know if that was supposed to be a compliment or not, because, frankly, one can’t really frog hop with dignity.  It just doesn’t happen.

Also, frog hopping hurts the knees.  Just FYI in case you were thinking about a future career that involved it.

I also frog hopped for my brother.  He didn’t find it as amusing, but then he doesn’t find much that amusing.  He was also playing Assassin’s Creed so I didn’t take it too personally.

As far as first times go, I think my first celebration/recognition day was a success.  Check this one off the list.  *check!*  Only 364 more days to go.

Hop on!

TOMORROW: Chicken Dancing Day

Senior Project

Hello everyone!
I’ve decided recently to do a project for my last year of high school.  But first, before I get into that, a little background:

I was researching the web a little over a week ago when I came across a website (url below) that listed the days and what was being celebrating on each one.  Always haven been a little interested in such a thing, I took a look, and ended up spending two hours on the website looking at all the days, past and upcoming.  (Side track: anyone else have this problem?  You click on something, planning only to take a quick glance, and end up wasting your afternoon on that site?  Always seems to happen to me.)
While looking at the pages, I got a thought in my head that some of the “national” days were everyday things that could be celebrated.  And BAM, I had an idea.

So here is my mission (and yours too, if you choose to accept): every day has something to be celebrated, most of them having more than one.  Each day I want to celebrate at least one of the “holidays” listed.  To prove I have done it, I have to celebrate it either with or in front of someone else.  (Example: for Frog Jumping Day I’d have to frog hop in front of someone while wishing them a Happy Frog Jumping Day.  For National Chocolate Chip Day I’d have to share some chocolate chips with someone, etc.)
Of course, since I’m blogging about this, everyone reading is welcomed to join me.  I’ll be doing just one to the things on the list; you can do one of the others.  Or you can just check back each day to see what I end up celebrating.  ;]  This link will bring you to the website I use so you can follow along and see what other days are coming up.

I’m pretty excited about this whole thing.  Hopefully I can keep up with each day and keep you guys informed of my progress.  I’ll be getting out of school soon for summer, so that should free up some time.
Anyways, I leave you with that.

Signing off!
