April Firsts

1. April is the first day of my birth month, and the first day of April and the beginning of Spring always gets me excited, no matter how old I'm turning. I like new beginnings. When I was younger, I used to make up "April 31," just to keep that feeling going.
2. April Fool's Day is a funny holiday. I wish I could repeat what Aaron said this morning.
3. April first is my (one year) knit-versary, too!
4. I remember this day 'cause we celebrated April Fool's at my school by dressing like each other. The chemistry teacher dressed like me (well, borrowed some clothes I don't wear too often), but the accessories like my scarf, watch, orange bracelet, and glasses, along with sitting cross-legged on the desk (something I'd do, but usually not when I'm wearing a skirt!), clinched the deal.

I dressed like him, in an argyle sweater and tie, with my arms folded across my chest. I also taught a chemistry lesson! I learned to knit from a woman at work (though I quickly remembered what my sister had tried to teach me a year or two before), and I was still wearing his sweater and tie. How could I forget that day?
4. This April first, I posted for the first time to Wardrobe_Remix, something I've been wanting to do for a long time. My first entry is here. This is just another step, started a year ago by starting a blog, to "putting myself out there," something I wasn't always willing to do.
5. This was also the first day that I wore a knitted pair of socks. Wanna see?
