It's Pi Day

*takes a sip, sits down and looks outside at the snow that continues to fall*

*takes another sip hoping it can take away the snow*

*it does not, takes another sip*


It's Pi Day or 3/14 or 3.14andabunchofinfinitenumbers day depending on how you look at it.

Unless you are from Alabama who according to this Allen and Ginter card changed the value from 3.14 to 3 in 1998 to line up with biblical views of the state. I would guess they would celebrate Pi Day all of March then?

Let me know if you are from Alabama.

For me, it's a usual day as I am no math person. Math was actually one of my worst subjects.

If anything, I would celebrate Pi Day as Pie Day. That's a day we should all be celebrating. Not some math number.

With it closing in on my birthday, another day we should all celebrate, I usually get a banana cream pie for it instead of cake from my mother-in-law who makes it from scratch. This year though, I decided to mix it up and I am having Carrot Cake instead. Sounds healthier, doesn't it? I mean it has carrots, right? Those are good for your eyes, aren't they?

But that doesn't mean I have turned my back on pie. Pie is amazing. Especially when it's homemade with a homemade crust.

*dreams of a slice of pie next to the cup of coffee*

In comments today, tell me your favorite pie or your favorite number and why.

Hope you have a snowless day.

Pie Day

*just sat down, fresh hot cup of coffee ready for this greatness of days...pie day. oh way, it's Pi Day. well....*

*takes another sip...dreams of pie..i mean pi*

Today is 3/14, which is also known as Pi Day or 3.14andaninfiniteamountofnumbersafter day.

For me, it's not about the Pi as math was one of my worst subjects in school. Can I do basic math, of course. Can I put a set of cards together by number? Absolutely. Can I do Geometry or Calculus? Absolutely not.

But, what I can do is eat pie.

Every year on my birthday, March 19th, I get a homemade Banana Cream Pie for my birthday from my mother-in-law who makes the homemade custard, etc. It's not that vanilla pudding with cut up bananas in a pre-done crust deal. This is the real thing.

This year with my new health news, I thought that maybe I should switch out the pie for something else healthier. You know what, I said no way. It's my birthday and I will pie if I want to...pie if I want to...pie if I want to...You would pie to if it was your birthday to!! duh duh duh duh duh (this will now get stuck in your head the rest of the day now)

*takes a sip before showing off today's card...while also counting down the next five days for the pie*

Banana Cream Pie is not the only pie I enjoy. One of my other favorites is an American classic.
Apple Pie. MMMMMMMM.  Look at that.

Inkworks created a card set that included this pie icon. I am not sure how many cards are in this set or if there are more pie, but I at least have this one. The important one.

Other favorite pies of mine are, Blueberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, and chocolate cream. This doesn't mean that I won't try others, well, not Pumpkin. I just don't like it.

How am I celebrating Pie (Pi) day? Well, not the way I should be. I am sitting here typing for you guys to read about pies while also daydreaming about them. My day is coming this week for pie though, it will just be a limited amount.

In comments today, let me know your favorite pie and how you are celebrating Pi day.

Have a great Monday.
