09/09/09
First off - Happy Anniversary Honey! It is our 3rd 2nd anniversary today!
Secondly - Happy Birthday Dad! I hope you have a great day with Linda and the puppies!
On Thursday, my darling son Alex decided to tempt death. Well, sorta. He was at school, saw a Diamondback and decided to poke it.....twice! Fortunately he was not bit. The thing didn't even rattle until the teacher approached it. Does that mean my son is a Slitheran? hehehe Seriously though, he better not do it again!
I had a wonderfully lazy weekend. Oh, got my first lab grade back for my one course. 99/100! YAY! I was pretty excited.
Now, since today is 09/09/09, I thought I would post some interesting facts on the number 9.
Nine, as the highest single-digit number (in base ten), symbolizes completeness in the Bahá'í Faith. In addition, the word Bahá' in the Abjad notation has a value of 9 and a 9-pointed star is used to symbolize the religion.
The number 9 is revered in Hinduism and considered a complete, perfected and divine number because it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system.
Important Buddhist rituals usually involve nine monks.
Nine is a significant number in Norse Mythology. Odin hung himself on an ash tree for nine days to learn the runes.
Nine is strongly associated with the Chinese dragon, a symbol of magic and power. There are nine forms of the dragon, it is described in terms of nine attributes, and it has nine children.
A polygon with nine sides is called a nonagon or enneagon. A group of nine of anything is called an ennead.
In base 10 a number is evenly divisible by nine if and only if its digital root is 9. That is, if you multiply nine by any natural number, and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it is just one digit, you will end up with nine.
On 09/09 in history:
California became the 31st state (1850)
9 Elvis Presley first appears on the Ed Sullivan Show. (1956)
Birthdays
Harland Sanders, "Colonel Sanders", founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (1890)
Otis Redding, singer, "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" (1941)
Michael Keaton, actor (1951)
Adam Sandler, actor, comedian (1966)

Today is Teddy Bear Day. A Teddy Bear is a special friend to children all over the world. He's cuddly. He makes you feel secure in an otherwise insecure world. He's lovable. Your Teddy Bear is both a companion and a comforter. And, he's not afraid of the dark. He'll keep you safe.
Spend the day and night with your teddy bear . Cuddle up to him. Talk to him. And, do all of your favorite things together.
Parents and adults: No child should grow up without a teddy bear. If you know of any kid without one, use this day to buy a teddy bear for them.
As we become adults, some find it difficult to give up our teddy bears. We feel there is no reason to give him up. Some adults have their teddy bears around all their lives. Its perfectly normal....and okay.
Have a happy Teddy Bear Day!

David's School Made The News
Valley high school student arrested for gun on campus
PHOENIX -- Police say a Mountain Pointe High School student is in juvenile custody after he reportedly brought a handgun to class in a backpack and told friends he was going to use it in an after-school fight.
The name of the 17-year-old student is being withheld because he's not an adult.
Police say the teenager faces one felony and two misdemeanor charges, including underage weapons possession, bringing a firearm onto school grounds and misconduct involving a weapon.
The incident happened Wednesday at the Ahwatukee school.
Other students reported to school administrators that the student told them he had a .45 caliber handgun in his backpack.
School security removed the student from class, took the backpack away and found the gun.

GREEN DAY!!!
OMG! That was the best concert I have ever, ever been to! They put on a great show! It was even better than their American Idiot tour. We drove to one of the Park and Rides about 5:00pm on Saturday, hopped on the light rail and then had dinner at the Hard Rock. A few drinks later (I was feeling gooooood) we walked over to US Airways center for the show. Franz Ferdinand opened and were excellent. However, Green Day... WOW! That is all I can say! It was non-stop for almost 3 hours! Jumping, arm waving... I felt like I had hit the gym hard when I woke up Sunday morning. :) So cool! Highly recommend going to see them! And I so love Billie Joe!
