Today is Elephant Appreciation Day! Thank you elephants for all you have done for me! I so appreciate it. I just can't remember what it is.
Elephants apparently like to eat pumpkins whole. You can find videos of them doing that on you-tube. Yawn.
In more exciting news I discovered that McLean County has a roller derby team. They are called The Miss Fits. This Saturday they are skating in a tournament at the Coliseum in downtown Bloomington against teams from Peoria and Decatur. Every time they have a bout or tournament the money goes to a specific charity, and this week it's going to Habitat for Humanity. Now there is something to appreciate!
My book group met last night on Susan and Bob's deck. I appreciated the conversation, the food, the wine, and the weather. I appreciate my book group more than I appreciate elephants. Perhaps in the middle of Hummus Month (whenever it gets established, ahem) I will place Book Group Appreciation Week. Perhaps I should just start my own danged calendar website. 2012...The Year of The Garbanzo!
Perhaps I could work Chick Pea or Garbanzo into my roller-derby-girl name. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions in that regard.

OMG, The Miss Fits is a great name!
So is Chick Pea!
I hope you will try out for the team!
Nashville's team is just the "Nashville Rollergirls", but they have some cool player names. After vieiwng their team pictures, I don't think I want to be a roller girl - these girls look REALLY tough!

I think my name would be "Chicken Little". ;)
Do you and your kids know the book "Weslandia" by Paul Fleischman. If not, you need to become acquainted ASAP. Why stop at creating a Hummus Month when you could found an entire hummus-based civilization? Also, your roller derby team could be the Normal Hormonals.
