Day 1: A for April
April 1, 2013
"April showers bring May flowers"
My mom always tells this story how she went into labor with me on my dad's birthday (1977). She was in labor so long that they were joking that I didn't want to come out. And I wouldn't until two days later. Nowadays my family gathers to celebrate our birthday's together. It is the only time of year that we get a cherry-walnut cake, which is my dad's favorite cake. My favorite is ice cream cake, I love the oreo crunchies. One year my sister gave me my own personal birthday cake that was basically just the crunchies and a little bit of chocolate ice cream. It was delicious.
April Fool's Day is a day that people play pranks on one another, and then when the jig is up, yell "April Fool's!"
It is usually the start of prank wars too. Where repetitive pranks are the result of competitiveness in crowning an individual superior prankster. Just remember, if you are the victim of an April Fool's prank, don't be discouraged. Remember to laugh (even at yourself) because laughter keeps us healthy and happy.
What was your greatest April Fool's prank?
When I was growing up, my mom played the best prank. April Fool's fell on a weekend and she woke me up and we went through the morning routine as usual. It was a great prank and I didn't complain, just thought it was another school day. It wasn't until my cousin asked me why I was standing at the bus stop that I realized the prank. I was a little just a little naive.
Anniversaries are special moments that a couple celebrates their relationship. This year will mark one year for my boyfriend and I. We actually knew of each other when we were younger growing up. I continued through High School and he went to a Vocational High School. We reconnected through Facebook, started to just chit-chat, and eventually we decided to get together. I remember first seeing him when I opened my front door. I usually didn't get nervous about first dates, but when I saw him I suddenly felt really nervous. He was so handsome and tall (I'm vertically challenged) there was definite attraction. On our first date, we went to see The Raven (2012) and when he held my hand there was intense electrical sensations that were racing around in my body.
This has been my A installment for the April A to Z blogging challenge. Last month I completed the March Blogging Challenge and I look forward to completing this one as well. I will have a few quest bloggers this month as well and some giveaways since it is my birthday month. So, stay tuned and check back often!
Until next time or the next... dream

My birthday is the day after my mum's, and apparently the doctors started me off on her birthday so I'd be born on the same day, but I was stubborn; I wanted my own day :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister and her boyfriend told everyone they were engaged for April fools today, and it got a little out of hand - everyone believed it, there were a lot of congratulations, and they've just now admitted it's not true. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now!
I know I don't mind sharing my birthday month with my dad :)
DeleteThat's a good April Fool's prank!!
You have a lot to celebrate this month!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Challenge.
Don't forget to turn off word verification.
Thank you Alex!
DeleteLots going on for you! My husband's and son's birthdays are this month too. Easter was a bit early this year, but usually it falls around my husband's birthday and he hates it. He's not a bunny love! :)
ReplyDeleteI understand, my ex-husband's birthday is around Easter too.
DeleteI hope we get April showers cause last year's drought was so relentless! Good luck on the A to Z Challenge! I look forward to it myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice, same to you, Good luck with the A to Z Challenge.
DeleteApril holds many celebrations for you. Then the A-Z is like the frosting on the cake. Yum..... It will be lots of fun and we'll all learn new and interesting things.

Yes, April is always a busy month for me (not to mention tax filing). This is my first year participating in the challenge. I hope I do well.
