I wonder if Pioneer Day is anything like Patriot Day in Boston?

I agree with your testimony on the drivers. I find my middle finger comes up frequently the last 2 plus years. Glad I’m not the only one.

J.,
I have an aunt who grew up near where the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place…what a trip! I was so disgusted when I learned about it that my brain almost snapped in half.

And I think about Jack Jack whenever I’m doing the same thing!

thecoconutdiaries,
Dude. I would take my gays over a super packed in crowd of Mormons ANY DAY.

Stefanie,
I think state specific holidays are especially awesome when they have their own PBS documentaries with people bearing their testimonies of the truthfulness of the gospel. I kid you not, on public television!

lostinutah,
Too bad Jebus didn’t direct people to not drive like total and complete assholes. My newest addition to my driving routine is my middle finger.

drop dead chris,
Tomorrow night I’m bringing my camera and I’m going to make you say, “Reflect on the gospel and on our teachings of the lord jesus.” after you’ve had a six-pack.

I enjoy pioneer day. It gives me a chance to sit back and reflect on the gospel and on our teachings of the lord jesus. Also it was just a good ol’ day with the fam doing some ice blocking ya know?

Nevada has Nevada Day. However, that is also known as the Day Nevada Became a State (October 31), not the day Jeebus directed people to find Nevada.

Hmph.

I just learned about Pioneer Day yesterday! I had no idea there were state-specific official holidays! Why can’t Minnesota have one??

Well, now I have an excuse to go to Utah. Pioneer Day sounds way better than any Gay Pride Parade. I am sure hilarty ensues every year!

My hubby watched a documentary on the whole Mountain Meadows Massacre thing. I really love it when religious types go all nuts.
And I was thinking about emotional-eater JackJack yesterday when I was upset and stuffing myself on pancakes.

sizzle,
Silly reasons are great to have a Thursday off. Though I’d gladly trade yesterday for a sick day if I could find myself a (financially) reasonable way to live in California.

The Grunt,
Word.

Noelle,
I will definitely be eating better before my next swim! I’m not sure if Pioneer Day is a lofty enough goal…you may want to consider reading Under the Banner of Heaven over increasing your pioneer knowledge. (Hee!)

Sometimes if I swim without eating enough, I get the worst headache. But if I eat too much, cramp-city. My life’s goal has been to find the happy balance. I need a new goal. Perhaps that should be learning more about Pioneer Day?
