Another Friday the 13th Post
No, I'm not superstitious about this date, as I've said before on this blog. But today wasn't that great of a day, as it was storming off and on, with hail coming down. And a brief earthquake occurred this afternoon. Some people I know on Facebook, however, said that they did not feel this jolt. When the jolt hit, I nearly slipped my mind that today was Friday the 13th. The sun came out for a while, but it wasn't for long. Right now, there is no rain, but I won't be surprised if it starts up tonight before the night is over, as it stopped for a while this afternoon, letting the sun out, only to start up again.
I live in a mobile home park, and when rain comes down hard, you can hear it on the roof. It hits the roof quite hard, and I mean it actually, physically hits the roof. The hail hits the roof even louder.
Most people expect earthquakes in California, but as I said earlier, I barely even thought about the fact that it struck on Friday the 13th. It slipped my mind as I was worried how long the jolt would last and if there would be any damage afterward. It wasn't a big one, and a Facebook status from a local TV station asked viewers if they'd felt the jolt. Some said they did not feel it. I've not yet seen or heard any news on the magnitude of the jolt.
Seeing the hail coming down reminded me of being in grade school. Once when it hailed back then, our teacher let us go outside for about a minute. Have your teachers ever allowed you to do such a thing? A friend on Facebook said her yard was covered in hail, so I looked out the window to see if any had covered by back lawn. Sadly, it was not noticeable if there was any hail on my lawn.
The storms and a brief jolt, then were the worst that happened today. Nothing bad seemed to result from either of these.
And on the subject of Facebook, a few friends posted on today's date. Someone mentioned the term Friggatriskaidekaphobia, fear of Friday the 13th. I don't fear the date, but am usually aware of it happening. There will be another such date this year, in July. And this is a leap year with three such dates, the first one having occurred in January this year. Nothing bad happened on that day, and I don't expect such a thing on the next such date this year. FYI, the first day of the month falling on a Sunday means the 13th will be on Friday.

Are you using Pinterest? A lot of people are, and that includes myself. I signed up after seeing several Facebook friends were using Pinterest. At first I was reluctant, but decided to sign up, but had to wait at first. Then I finally was accepted, and was slow to begin pinning. Now I have a total of nine boards so far, and have been pinning and repinning. Today alone I created one new board to which I made 11 pins as of yet. And I'm still pinning to ones I previously created. And a lot of my pins have been repinned by others. I only wonder how long this idea will last. We'll see over time.
I have found numerous dessert recipes this way. So many I don't know if I will have time to try them. I used to like to try baking, but haven't really been in that mode much recently. Same with crafts, and I do want to find time to make some stuff to try selling on Etsy. I just have to find time and energy for these kinds of things. Reading, on the other hand, I have been dong a lot of lately and tow of my Pinterest boards are on books, those I fell are worth reading and some I want to read eventually. And I began revisiting my childhood when I saw a friend posting a toy I once had.
My Pinterest experience so far...

Oh, Spring, Where Art Thou?
Spring began 11 days ago, but it has only somewhat felt like spring. Off and on since March 20, there has been some sun and some rain. Some days on which it was warm enough to go without a jacket, and without turning on the heater. And some days when it was a little cold. Rain struck two weeks ago today and again today, with the drops falling down intermittently throughout the day. Winter this year hardly felt like winter and now we seem to be getting a late patch of winter. It's almost as if the seasons are being reversed. Right now sun is showing outside, despite raining falling down off and on throughout today. I'd gotten invited to a barbecue today for a local political candidate and was worried it would be rained out. I went anyway, and it was on, as it was being held inside a large garage at someone's residence. However, the turnout wasn't so big, presumably because of the rain. But it was still great to get out for a while today despite the weather.
I'm sure we will get out spring soon.

One More Day Till "The Hunger Games" Movie
It seems to be the most anticipated film of the year so far and now it's only one day until its release. Like a lot of people, I've been excited about seeing "The Hunger Games" after having read all three books last month. Our town's theater is having a special midnight showing tonight, but I never go to these things, what with work early in the morning. Even if I could, it probably would sell out quickly and be a huge crowd, something I was always try to avoid. For that reason, my family and I will not likely be going on Saturday or Sunday, since it's likely to be crowded then, with teenagers flocking to see the film. Even though the books were aimed at teens, they have been popular with people of all ages. Once I'd heard about the film, I wanted to read the books, which I had seen on the shelves at the local Target. I got them for Christmas and read them all last month. All week long, there have been interviews with the stars of the film on TV and in newspapers. Yesterday at the cinema in my town, a woman came to pre-order five tickets for one of the weekend showings. Again, I don't know when my family and I will be going, but likely next week on a weekday. It's showing on two screens (says the theater's website), which the cinema tends to do with moves like this. I'm now waiting to see how much money this much-anticipated movie makes in its first weekend.
Can't wait!
