MARCH 12: Plant a Flower Day
Believe it or not, I spent twelve hours pad stitching the suit jacket I'm making in my tailoring class, so by the time I got to celebrate the holiday it was already dark outside. I don't know who decided that Plant a Flower Day would be in early March, but whoever they are, I'm guessing that they're not from Utah. I knew there would be a good chance the flower I planted would die (it's supposed to snow this weekend), but hey no one can say that I'm not committed to this holiday thing. Anyways, I went to Home Depot to get a flower at around 9 o' clock at night and their flower selection was very limited. They had like three flowers to choose from. I ended up buying a hyacinth since I'm a nerd about Greek Mythology. Hyacinthus was one of Apollo's lovers who died and was turned into a flower. Here's the flower I planted:
I'll have to go back to Rock Canyon Park and see if it survived the storm, though it probably wont, sadly.
MARCH 13: Open an Umbrella Indoors Day
Why? I really don't know. Who comes up with some of these holidays? My umbrella had broke, so I ended up driving down to my parent's house to open up one of theirs. Pretty simple holiday, though the way it's been raining the past couple of days, I should've just bought myself a new one.
MARCH 14: Pi Day
This holiday is a pretty popular one. It's the one day of the year where nearly everybody pretends they actually care about math. I had promised myself that I would actually make a pie on pi day, so that morning when I got up I texted my friend Duffy and we went and got stuff to make pies. I ended up making a chocolate cream pie and Duffy made a British pie that I can't remember the name of, but had caramel and bananas in it. My only problem was that I accidentally bought lite cool whip to go into the pie. I have multiple questions here: who buys lite cool whip? If you're making dessert are you really caring about being healthy? Also, why does cool whip have the word lite written in the lightest shade of blue on a blue background? That's incredibly deceiving. Rant over. My pie still tasted alright, all my guy friends seemed to enjoy it. But, come on, Lite?!

MARCH 15: Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA Day
I found this holiday pretty hilarious, so when I saw it I knew I had to celebrate it. Sorry for being awful, haha. I celebrated this holiday by eating delicious beef jerky.
MARCH 16: Artichoke Day
I worked a double this day, so luckily the Trolley has some great choices for a person celebrating Artichoke Day. I ate the Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, which is one of my favorites. It has grilled chicken topped with spinach and artichoke dip, red pepper relish, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, bacon, and mixed greens on a ciabatta bun. It's also really good to get on a bed of mixed greens instead of the bun, which is what I usually do.
MARCH 17: St. Patrick's Day
Last year, in my knits and swimwear class I made a green dress for St. Patrick's Day, so I definitely had to wear that. I had to go to work that night, so I brought sugar cookies with green frosting from Shirley's Bakery to everyone at work and I wore a necklace with a green clover and my lucky St. Patrick's Day socks to make sure I had some green with my all black work outfit. I also may or may not have pinched a few of my friends for not wearing green. They should've known better since they're well aware of my holiday celebrating.
MARCH 18: Supreme Sacrifice Day
For Supreme Sacrifice Day I celebrated the greatest sacrifice for all of mankind: the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Shoutout to Brey for this perfect idea for today's holiday. I put extra thought to the Atonement while I took the sacrament at church, and my friend Jared sang a beautiful musical number about Christ bearing the cross for us. After church I listened to one of my favorite hymns: "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" which, if you don't know, is a song about a man who helps a stranger in many different situations, only to later find out that the stranger was actually the Savior. Later I focused my scripture study on the Atonement. I found this wonderful excerpt from a Conference talk by Elder Holland that I wanted to share:
I'm so grateful for the Atonement in my life, and the hope, comfort, and joy it brings to me. In the words of one of my favorite hymns: "Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me."
