Eleven Reasons to Celebrate in March

  1. It’s supposed to be the end of winter. Or so they say.
  2. We got to spring forward. Hooray for one hour less sleep.
  3. St. Patrick’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day.
  4. There’s March break. Perhaps you know it as spring break or reading week. No school is always a good thing.
  5. Three reasons in one: Pi Day, Pi Minute and Pi Second.
  6. We have the the spring equinox, when everyone in the whole wide world has the same length of day.
  7. And don’t forget Johnny Appleseed Day.
  8. Some people have been giving away free books.
  9. My oldest son’s 30th birthday is on the 26th.
  10. It’s Women’s History Month. My apologies for mentioning it, but I need eleven reasons and I’m running low.
  11. Some very interesting people have birthdays on the 11th. Like Ezra Jack Keats and Wanda Gag.

I always remember your son's birthday, since it's the same day as my oldest son's birthday.

Your profile pic made me laugh. No, shoveling isn't funny but it's a cute pic. I hope you can very soon change it to a gardening pic.

Speaking of birthdays, my birthday is on St. Patrick's Day. Does that get extra celebration points? ;)

March 11, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMarie

Only one extra point. If your birthday was today, I'd give you two because we could celebrate birthdays together. :)

Have a super fun day and spoil yourself.

We are going out for supper and I don't have to pay. I think that qualifies as spoiling myself.

And some people might say I spoil myself every day.

Happy, happy, Rebecca! Many happy returns of the day! (I always think of Eeyore when I say that!)

Which reminds me of this: HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY! I hope you receive a lovely, useful pot to put things in, as well as something to put into it!

Definitely, not having to pay for your supper is a treat!

Happy Birthday, Rebecca... so, what is the age difference between you and your sister?

Wizzer and Daisy were born today. They are our family's pet "Kitties" (Daisy attacks birds, and Wizzer weighs 20 lbs and "plops" a lot). Wizzer and Daisy bring JOY to us. I love March!

Happy Birthday!

Born 12 years ago, a slight detail I missed.

Give Wizzer and Daisy birthday greetings from someone who shares their birthday. But I'm not 12. :)

March 11, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterrebecca

Thank you all for the birthday greetings. Right now I'm stuffed with Mexican food.

Reason #12: Three out of every four years, the dates and days of the week are the same as they were the previous month. One less thing for a senile old mind to have to think about.

My birthday is in March too. Happy belated birthday. Our spring break for school is Easter week, so it has been a long haul since Christmas break. We sometimes get more snow in March than other months. We usually get about two weeks of spring in May and then right into hot summer.

Thanks for the birthday greetings, Candy.
