March calendar design by Orange Beautiful

Welcome to March! I can't believe February flew by so fast. It always does. Tons of holidays, my birthday, and boatloads of snow: they all add up to a fast-moving month. But now we're officially into March, the Olympic games are over, and I'm hoping this month gets to the "out like a lamb" part faster than the "in like a lion" part lasts. Happy March, y'all!

Picturing the past 10 years

As the decade draws to a close (gulp), this chart is a funny way to take a look back at some of the fascinators from the past 10 years. Can you believe "I.M." was a new verb in 2000 and "download" was in 2002? Wow. I suddenly feel really old.

Click on the link below to the NYT to see the chart in greater detail. I can't believe a new decade is almost here!

Thank goodness it's...Friday the 13th?

Initially I was a bit freaked out that today is Friday the 13th, but why not turn that idea on its head and be happy about it instead? I mean, no need to be all superstitious about something that may or may not be completely bunk. Then again, I am kinda freaked out about getting bad luck (we don't need any more of that around these parts), so I don't want to jinx myself. Here's hoping that everyone has a good day and nothing unlucky happens!
