Full of Beans

We are full of beans today - literally and figuratively - as we celebrate Bean Day!

We started out our day with the Christian's drug of choice, coffee, which of course is extracted from a bean. We then did some grocery shopping where we purchased several cans of beans - black beans, chick peas (which are also known as garbanzo beans), pork n' beans, etc. And followed up at lunch with some leftover green beans.

As we wind down our day we will also read of the classic children's story, "Jack and the Beanstalk," after a meal of pork n' beans on rice. Top all that off with some jelly belly beans for dessert, and some silliness since we are all "full of beans," and it's safe to say we will have had our fill of beans today!

What are you doing to celebrate today?

Tomorrow: Old Rock Day!

Ha ha! I like this one... but you don't talk about how to deal with the day after Bean Day! :)
