It's hotter than an egg on a skillet
April 4th. Easter. Usually around 60 degrees Fahrenheit out, sometimes 70.
Not today. Today's high was 95 degrees, according to the thermostat, and we have no working air-conditioning at the moment. If it weren't for creamsicles and iced tea, I would be a puddle by now. >__<
But anyways, I had a nice Easter I supposed. Got roped into cleaning the porch and stuff. Outside. In the heat. I managed to get scraped up a bit on my arm, thanks to some chicken wire, and I have dirt on my shins somehow, which is very odd, because I was mostly cleaning the giant pile of ages old leaves off of the porch with a deckbrush. I did manage to get in some chocolate bunny and jelly bean eating, but that's about it.
Moving right along, I got this cool meme from grosse_averse , who got it from candesceres : Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day). Then write down 3 events, 3 births, 3 deaths, 3 holidays, and tag 3 friends.
Three Events:
1) 1373 - Anglo-Portuguese Alliance between England (succeeded by the United Kingdom) and Portugal is the oldest alliance in the world which is still in force.
2) 1777 - American Revolutionary War: Marquis de Lafayette lands near Charleston, South Carolina, in order to help the Continental Congress to train its army.
3) 1886 - King Ludwig II of Bavaria is found dead in Lake Starnberg south of Munich at 11:30 PM.
Three Births:
1) 823 - Charles the Bald, Holy Roman Emperor and King of the West Franks (d. 877)
2) 1809 - Heinrich Hoffmann, German painter, author of Struwwelpeter (d. 1894)
3) 1986 - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, American actresses
Three Deaths:
1) 1231 - Anthony of Padua, Portuguese saint (b. 1195)
2) 1645 - Miyamoto Musashi, Japanese swordsman
3) 1986 - Benny Goodman, American musician (b. 1909)
Three Holidays: (this was easy, there are only three holidays. :/)
1) Christian Feast Day for:
3) Seventh day of Vestalia, in honor of Vesta. (Roman Empire)
I tag everyone whose name begins with J, S, or M. :3
