A is for Antagonist - A to Z Challenge


A is for Antagonist.

For those of you who thought I would discuss the definitions of real literary terms during the A to Z Challenge...you is A-crazy! 

What the hell do I know about literature?

Oh, wait...damn. 

So, I guess A is for April Fools!

But, I'm sure that will be a heavily used topic for today as well. 

So, I guess A is for April!

It's a crazy month. Start of spring but that also means the start of the rainy season on the East Coast. Although this year the rain has been mostly in the form of that cold crap...what do you call it....snow.

April is the beginning of spring training for baseball. But, no one cares at my house because football is the only sport worth watching.

April hosts a huge number of important and just plain freaky holidays. 

Like what you ask?
-Frog Month
-International Twit Award Month
-Fiddler's Frolic Week
-Sky Awareness Week
-One Day Without Shoes Day
And of course
-That Sucks Day 
Which takes place strangely on the same day as
-Income Tax Day 

Great website for strange, unusual and untraditional monthly, weekly and daily observances-Brownielocks.

So, there you go. April. It's fun and wet and sucky.

Sounds like a good romance novel to me!

Come back tomorrow for the letter B!

  3. April Fool's Day brought a fresh layer of snow to Massachusetts, just when it was almost all gone. :(

    I like the sound of One Day Without Shoes Day, though I probably couldn't get away with that at work...

    Enjoyed your post!

  19. baygirl32 - No comment! I'm afraid to ask either! Thanks for coming by!

    Lola - That may be the fan favorite so far!

    Murees - I would rather the weather would turn warm. We are officially in spring but you wouldn't know it around here. Tired of being cold!

    Kristin - I wear shoes too much!

    Liz - Amen to that! I think you watch more pro and we watch more college.

    Myne - The list goes on and on. The website has lists for every month! Crazy holidays!

    Michael - Thank you. I wish the crocus were growing here! Or is that the croci?

    Ann - Thank you. They were some of my favorites!

    And, I just tried to follow you here but not sure if it worked, blogger appears to be playing games again.

  21. Talei - Thank you! I'm glad I can entertain a few of you!

    Blogger is probably freaking out because of all the traffic.

  22. I love that it's frog month! :-)
    But I had to follow you because you are a "chocolate enthusiast" and a "cat addict."

  23. Rachel - Amen! As long as its not a chocolate covered cat, we are so good!
