Bed-In for Peace Day, Atheist Pride Day, First Day of Spring, Kiss Your Fiancee Day, Won't You Be My Neighbor Day,
Extraterrestrial Abductions Day

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?
Hi, blog neighbor, I'm glad we're together again!

Mr. Rogers was the best. . . and I love that there's a picture of him flipping the camera off floating around. It makes me love him more. What a great dude!
(P. S. U-F-O = Unexpected Flipping Off!)

Here's a few things to help you bed-in for peace! And I CANNOT believe it's spring already!

Twenty Something Dreamer
blew my mind with this to-die-for hammock thing.
Also, Vintage Revivals totally made me want to watch Bedknobs & Brooksticks 100 times thanks to this bed! I want one!
Happy Abduction Day!

_Opposite Day, A Room of One's Own Day, Mac Computer Day
_Well, I just had my first official blog meltdown and only two days after officially publishing it. I didn't realize I was only making pages for each day and not real "blogs". So I got to spend 6 1/2 hours transferring stuff from a "page" to a "blog". A Room of One's Own for me today needs padded walls.

All I've got is a few quotes from The Man, Steve Jobs. Pretty inspirational dude. I need to make this short because my hands are about to fall off and my pup needs a walk (read: needs to be carried around outside)
_"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
 
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
_P. S. See how I celebrated Opposite Day? My sign off was the title! So clever, I know! ;-)
XO again, anyway! . . . . . . .  Eek! I can't help it! I need to share more!! Here are a few dream rooms of my own! XOXOXO
 
_Penguin Awareness Day, International Fetish Day
_Even though International Fetish Day is meant to celebrate BDSM, I chose a more gentle approach to today's holidays. In honor of Penguin Awareness Day, I would like to share some of my favorite blacks and whites in recipes, art, style, photos and decor.



_Kristi at 30 Pounds of Apples shared this awesome DIY for Hot Chocolate Sticks. I'm afraid Justin would end up just eating the chocolate off the ends before I could actually make hot cocoa out of them, but, hey, they're cute!
_I am unintentionally celebrating a more accurate International Fetish Day. This week we had to take our little Odie to the vet hospital and found out he has a herniated disc. A lifetime of living in the penthouse suites (2nd floor and above) has left with confined to a small area, no running and no walks for the foreseeable future. I can tell you Odie is not a fan of bondage. We took him for a walk yesterday, wrapped in a blanket, but it just wasn't the same. Poor little dude.
_Maybe if our stairs looked like this it wouldn't have hurt his back so much? Probably not. . .
_I've added this to my list of things to put on my wall about 100 times. I swear, it's going to happen. Probably not until our next residence (November 2012 - ten months WooHoo!), but it's going to happen!
_My mom introduced me to this cake and I brought it (in cupcake form) to a Thanksgiving dinner. People were literally dying and going to heaven after taking one bite. It made for an interesting party, but at least they died happy!

No, but seriously, the Chocolate Guinness (cup)Cake(s) were a major hit and it only takes like a cup of Guinness so you get about 5 bottles leftover to enjoy!
_ModCloth has this beautiful dress called "When the Night Comes" . . . I want a fancy occasion to wear this dress to. Any weddings coming up??
_Here are some fun penguin facts thanks to penguinfacts.net.
- Penguins are birds (Justin seems to think this is like saying "Dogs are dogs." Not true.)
- They don't fly, they use their wings for swimming at a pace of about 15mph.
- Are you a member of the United States Libertarian Party? Better think about getting this unofficial symbol tattooed on your bicep. Or better yet, your tail-feather! I crack myself up!
- Penguin = "pen" meaning head and "gwyn" meaning white.
- Penguins are ancient species that appeared 40 million years ago in the Eocene Epoch!
- They usually move in huge groups called colonies or rookery.
- There are at least 18 difference species of penguins.
- There may be as many as 100 millions penguins in the world, but they can be endangered by oil spills, water pollution and over harvesting of fish, squid or krill.
- They mate for life. . .  how adorable!
                                                  "Let's have a penguin-type of love!"
_Happy bonding!

_Thesaurus Day, Winnie the Pooh Day
_I have a confession to make. I love (adore/worship/respect/admire) Hostess with the Mostess. Sometimes her parties are so cute they physically hurt. Splendid ideas, tremendous inspiration and unbelievable creativity! For example, here I have gathered some of her schemes for a Winnie the Pooh party! Enjoy! And, yes, I did use my thesaurus today!
_"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you."
_
"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."
_"Love is taking a few steps backward (maybe even more) to give way to the happiness of the person you love."
_"You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."
_P. S. Thanks to Hungry Happenings for this great "thesaurus" treat!
_"A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside."
_"We will be friends until forever, just you wait and see."

Oh, I hope so.

_National Nothing Day, Appreciate a Dragon Day, MLK Jr. Day
_Even thought it's National Nothing Day, I couldn't very well
leave you with nothing today! Enjoy!
Did you have today off for MLK Jr. Day?
_Thanks, Threadless, for helping us celebrate Appreciate a Dragon Day!
Just click on the image and it will take you to that shirt's site!
_Here's some scaly artwork to Dragon-Up your digs!

Paint Chip Art by {twenty}something and Fish Scale Wall Art by Two Thirty-Five Designs make me want to blow some creative fire through my nose! Awesome projects!!
_Here's to a wonderful day of nothing!
XO
