May Day!

Oh Hapy Day! May is here! I looove May! Here are some reasons....

*I get to go home! 8 days and counting....
*Cinco de Mayo-One of the coolest days to celebrate and party
*Barbecues Galore and it's the month of summer kickoff's!
*If you re-arrange the letters in MAY...it spells...AMY ;-)

And some fun facts about May-thanks to the ever so scholarly Wikipedia:
::May is Older Americans Month as established by John F. Kennedy
::It is also Mental Health Awareness Month (this in no way related to my trip home; hehe)
::Both the Kentucky Derby and the Indiannopolis 500 are held in May
::May Day is celebrated on the Roman calendar, in the United Kingdom and in Ireland, but the reserved holiday is actually the first Monday in May.
::In Germany, it is an old custom to plant a "tree of May" to honor someone. Often young men set up an adorned birch in front of their girlfriends house the night before May 01. Aww...

Who knew!?
Happy May! :)
