You do realize that yesterday was pi day, right? (I didn't until my kids at church reminded me, after which we had a long discussion about the merits of apple pie over any cream-based pie in the existence of cream-based pies, which I think are yucky but most of them disagreed!) I don't remember many things from high school geometry, and what I do remember involves the fact that our classroom was in a trailer that didn't have heat, so I was freezing, and my teacher was the wrestling coach, and maybe he should have stuck to wresting because teaching geometry? Not his forte. Geometry: color me cold & clueless. But, for some reason, I do remember these digits of pi. Strange what sticks! We celebrated by:

• Making the last payment on one of our debts.
• Visiting my sister-in-law Melissa, who had her baby on pi day! I meant to take pictures of little Lydia but was so enjoying holding her that I didn't get my camera out. I love babies! This perhaps was an unwise visit for me to make. My uterus will hurt for the next little while...
• Stopping by Cabellas. OK, honestly: This is NOT a celebration for me. I hate going to Cabellas. I'm not a fan of the entire hunting oeuvre. But, Kendell had something to do for his mom there, and Kaleb thinks Cabellas is nearly as good as Disneyland, so I went. I smiled. I practiced shooting. I didn't make fun of (at least, out loud) the 800-thread-count, deer-printed sheets.
• Baking, of course, a PIE! I made a blackberry pie when we got home from the hospital & Cabellas. I was too tired, though, to actually eat it last night. So I had pie for breakfast this morning.

Did you celebrate pi day?

Enjoy the new baby! Sigh! Congratulations.
I also baked pie last night. I just finished a piece for lunch today.

Ha! I have been to the flagship Cabela's in Sidney, NE and I have to say, my reaction is much the same ; )

Celebrated with pizza pi and a jello pi. :) I'm married to an engineer, my son-in- law is an engineer, and my son's major is engineering. I'd be forgiven for forgetting their birthdays, but not Pi Day! My 2 year old grandson helped me make the jello pie. He told many people "Happy Pi Day" on our trip to Target that afternoon and got a lot of confused looks!
