Well, I decided my blog needed a facelift, and I found this helpful site - The Cutest Blog On the Block, and went with it! They have over 200 blog templates, and it was really easy to do. The cool part about it is that now if (and when) I get tired of pink and burgundy, I can easily upload a completely different background!
Less than 1 week until the start of the Summer Olympic games. I love watching the gymnastics, diving, and the track & field events, and of course, the opening ceremonies. Tivo will be kept very busy next weekend!
Did you know...
August was originally named Sextilis in Latin, because it was the sixth month in the ancient Roman calendar, which started in March about 750 BC under Romulus. It was renamed in honor of Augustus in 8 BC because several of the most significant events in his rise to power, culminating in the fall of Alexandria, which fell in this month.
Lore claims August originally had 29 days in the Roman Republican calendar. Augustus took two days from February and gave it to August when Sextilis was renamed in his honor.
August's flower is the gladiolus or poppy, and its birthstone is the peridot.
Betcha ya can't say "gladiolus" 5 times really fast...
