Ruff Day?

Sometimes we let our tough days get the best of us -- until we turn into this guy:

For all you Oscar the Grouches in need of a smile (and anyone else who wants to be entertained for the next minute and 45 seconds)... 

...Say hello to my pals Mary Poppins, Bert, and adorable pug (p.s. the title is supposed to coincide with the fact that this is a dog video-in case you didn't catch on)

Relax and Watch Some Videos:)

Coming upon my fourth finals week. Almost survived another semester. I have learned A LOT. Here are the two most important lessons of winter semester 2013.

1. RELAX. It's fine. We tend to spend more time stressing about things than actually taking action and moving forward. Just take a breathe and relax. 

Every little thing will be alright.

We can't control everything that happens-

but we can control our actions and reactions

2. One of the best ways to relax is to laugh. It truly is the best medicine.

Seriously, how can you frown when Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews are together?

um...Just watch it. 

finally: In honor of final's week...A new music video from BYU's premiere comedy group (Divine Comedy)

Enjoy and Happy April!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Groundhog Day!!

I love celebrating. Birthdays, holidays, acing a test (or just surviving a test), Fridays, Wednesdays, Sundays, seasons, new months, etc. I think that every day has something to be celebrated. By that I don't necessarily mean throwing a huge party. Sometimes a celebration can be a 2 minute dance party, or a 15 minute nap. However you celebrate- do it often. Today we are all celebrating a random, pointless, and completely wonderful holiday. Here is the official groundhog day decree...

On this February 2nd, 2013,
the One Hundred and Twenty Seventh Annual Trek of the
Punxsutawney Groundhog Club at Gobbler’s Knob….

Punxsutawney Phil, the King of the Groundhogs,
Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of Prognosticators,
Weather Prophet without Peer,
was awakened from his borrow at 7:28 am
with a tap of the President’s cane.

Phil and President Deeley conversed in Groundhogese
and Phil directed him to the chosen Prognostication scroll.

The President tapped the chosen scroll and
directed Phil’s Prediction be proclaimed:

My new Knob entrance is a sight to behold
Like my faithful followers, strong and bold

And so ye faithful,
there is no shadow to see
An early Spring for you and me.

Isn't Punxsutawney Phil adorable?!?!

For some reason I have ALWAYS loved groundhog day. Maybe because it's the first 'sign' that spring is around the corner. Or perhaps all of the fun crafts we did in elementary school (I plan to continue those crafts in my future classroom). 

In Fact: Here's a picture for y'all to color:).

It might just be the fact that we enjoy letting a cute furball predict the weather. Whatever the reason, I think it's silly and ridiculous. Therefore, I love it:) So, go ahead- celebrate the silliness. And prepare for an early spring.
