I have a headache today, so I'm just sitting here trying to not be a total wanker to live with. I can see my son and one of his friends chase Roscoe the dog around the back yard, and it is very funny. He's such an awesome dog, and plays great with the kids!
But I was reading Softball Sluts blog, and found her post amusing.. and thought I'd do it to. These are her instructions:
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (by putting my birth month and day in the Search box), then list the events and other things of note, specifically…
List three events that happened on your birthday.
List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
One holiday or observance (if any).
My birthday is February 9th, and it was a lot of fun to read the events! But, I had to stick to the rules .. and these were my results:
3 Events:
1555 - Bishop of Gloucester John Hooper is burned at the stake.
1775 - American Revolutionary War: British Parliament declares Massachusetts in rebellion. (I love it!!)
1870 - The U.S. Weather Bureau was established. (Perfect since I love storms!! And the weather channel!!)
2 Important Birthdays:
1909 - Carmen Miranda, Portuguese actress and singer (d. 1955) (I love her!)
1914 - Gypsy Rose Lee, American dancer and actress (d. 1970) (Wasn't that movie with Natalie Wood about her?? Loved that movie)
1 Important Death:
1555 - Rowland Taylor, English pastor (executed) (b. 1510) (They executed a pastor? Man, that's just not right at all.. somebody is burning in Hell)
1 Holiday:
Saint Apollonia, patron saint of dentists and dental technicians (Very funny, because I would rather have open heart surgery than visit a dentist. I actually do shots of whiskey before going just so that I can sit through my visits)
