It’s January 14. 
Today is “Dress Up Your Pet Day.”  Do you think it’s weird or okay for pet owners to put costumes on their animals?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Ancient Egyptians first domesticated cats 4000 years ago.  Egyptians welcomed these animals into their homes for protecting their grain, and they became so revered that many cat cults popped up.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”  --Winston Churchill (Former British Prime Minister)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  mollify (verb) – this action word means to soften someone’s bad temper.  How do you mollify your family when someone’s moody?

Semester Exams Day (again)

We are taking exams in 1st and 4th today.  The other classes are shortened which gives us the opportunity to take care of all missing work. AND we get out at 1:25 today and tomorrow. How awesomely cool is that?!?!?!?!?
