For those of you that have been following this blog, you know that I have wanted to open the clinic on a holiday. Here's the run down:

Jan 1 - New Year's Day

Feb 29 - Leap Day

April 1 - April Fool's Day - this was one of my favorites because it would have been so fitting!

April 15 - Tax Day - a day to remember

April 22 - Earth Day - today (You should have seen our cardboard recycling pile curbside! We dragged the cardboard home from the clinic!)

May 1 - so many holidays...May Day, National Workers Day - but we won't make this one and still stay sane!

May 6 - the first tuesday of the month and National Crepes Suzette Day

Crepes Suzette

For any of you that know me - food is my passion so if it has to be a "pretend" holiday (I've never seen any Hallmark cards commemorating the day!) it might as well be one about food! This weekend my mom told the story of me wanting to go out for crab dinner for my 3rd birthday and then there's the one when I was 5 and worried about flying on a plane by myself because I might not be able to read the menu!

Michael and I went to dinner and had a meeting going over all of the things we had to get done to open the doors. The list is still a little daunting but there are some natural deadlines that make it easier to organize.  You may ask how Michael and I had time to go out and eat! Well, thankfully we had the floors refinished this afternoon and so we can't walk on them until tomorrow. No more hard labor today - but you can bet we'll be in there tomorrow.

Thank you all for hanging in there. We will get our doors open soon. I can't wait for you to see the place in person. It's really looking more and more amazing everyday!
