Have to work today....hopefully, Angela and I
will be able to stop and pick up some of the dance shoes she needs. She needs
new tap, jazz, and lyrical shoes....we didn't even use lyrical shoes the last
couple of years.
so, what are we celebrating......
1). Elephant Appreciation Day: This is the day to show how much you care about elephants.
Elephant Appreciation Day was declared beginning in 1996 by WildHeart® Productions [*] to celebrate the Elephant because...
2). Business Women's Day: This is the day to recognize women in business. Hilary A. Bufton Jr. and three Kansas City business women founded the American Business Women's Association(ABWA) on September 22, 1949. The first Business Women's Day was celebrated in 1982. In 1983, a joint Congressional resolution was passed, and signed by President Ronald Reagan proclaiming September 22 as Business Women's Day. President Ronald Reagan also issued Proclamation 5532 on American Business Women's Day, in 1986.
3). International Rabbit Day: This holiday seeks to protect rabbits as pets and in the wild. Animal rights groups and humane societies are active promoters of this special day. Their objectives are to promote healthy, caring environments for rabbits that are raised as pets, and those living in the wild.
4). National White Chocolate Day: This is the day to celebrate that yummy white confection. White chocolate was invented by the NestlĂ© company in Switzerland. The first white chocolate bar debuted in 1930. Despite its long history, for many years the confection we know as “white chocolate” was not officially chocolate at all. White chocolate does not contain cocoa solids—one of the main ingredients in traditional chocolate. In 2004, ten years after chocolate manufacturers filed the first petition, the FDA finally relaxed its definition of “chocolate” and accepted white chocolate into the family. White chocolate is my husband's absolute favorite. I even get his Easter bunny in white chocolate.
5). Hobbit Day:I like this holiday. September 22nd is the Birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two characters from J.R.R. Tolkein’s popular Middle Earth Cycle books, hence Hobbit Day. Hobbit Day is perhaps the oldest running day celebrated by fans. There is some debate on the date that Hobbit Day should be celebrated on, due to the differences in the Gregorian and Shire calendars. Tolkien once said that the Shire calendar is ahead by about ten days depending on the month. To celebrate this holiday, go barefoot and eat 7 meals today....LOL
6). World Carfree Day: Today is the day to go car free. Every September 22, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don't have to accept our car-dominated society. I'd celebrate this one, except I have to go to work and it's way to far away to walk.
7). Ice Cream Cone Day: Yum! I like this one....and the reason it's celebrated today, is September 22, 1903 the ice cream cone was invented. Today, there are a variety of types and flavors of ice cream cones. My favorite happens to be the chocolate covered waffle cone.
Now, I'm sure there are other holidays today....and if you know of one, just post it below.
so, what are we celebrating......
1). Elephant Appreciation Day: This is the day to show how much you care about elephants.
Elephant Appreciation Day was declared beginning in 1996 by WildHeart® Productions [*] to celebrate the Elephant because...
- is the largest land mammal of our era,
- is unique among mammals for its trunk,
- is the most noble of beasts on earth,
- is most undeservedly threatened with extinction,
- has been man's benefactor in numerous ways throughout history,
- is entertaining and amusing,
- is gentle and friendly,
- contributes to ecosystem development and
maintenance,
