1). Baby Day: This holiday celebrates babies!!! I
would assume it means human babies, but I don't know why you couldn't
celebrate all babies. Baby animals are adorable.... There is a movie
called Baby Day, and it aired in 1913. It was a black and white silent movie...and I've never seen it.
2). Great American Grump Out: If you missed the 10th annual Grump Out on May 4, 2011 the good news is that you can continue to grump or do your grouchy thing. BUT, on
May 2, 2012 you'll be asked once again to knock it off with your
grouchy thing and put a lid on it --- just for 24 hours. (It's not for a
lifetime, just a mere 24 hours. If you get your 8 hours of sleep, that
means you only have to go for 16 hours.) After that you can go back to
your old self again. Apparently, this one is NOT for me. LOL
3). Brothers and Sisters Day:
This holiday is a day to cherish your siblings. Sure, there's times
when you love your brothers and sisters, but there's also times when you
want to disown them. I will admit that I put a price tag on my baby
brother during a yard sale....no one bought him though (sigh). I guess
this is called brothers and sisters day, since we already have a
siblings day....
4). National Play Your Ukulele Day:
Ohhh, this sounds like fun....and no clue who came up with this
holiday. Ukuleles always remind me of Hawaii, though I've never been to
Hawaii. So, go out and play your ukulele today....or find someone that
will play for you.
5). Robert's Rule of Order Day:
This holiday honors a book containing rules of order intended to be
adopted as a parliamentary authority for use by a deliberative assembly
written by Brig. Gen. Henry Martyn Robert in 1876. Huh, you
wonder.....well, basically these are the rules we follow during any kind
of meeting.
Hmm...maybe I will give one of my brothers a
call....nah, it's kinda' late there. I'm sure both of them are in bed
already. Hope you have a great Thursday!

Happy Hump Day!
Happy Hump day! I'm so glad the week is about half over, as
it's been a stressful week. I found out that Ashley got an 87 on her
science fair project. Yea!!! I was really hoping she'd do okay (I
wouldn't have given it more than an 80)....especially with what we had
to work with. Long story, but let's just say she's happy with the grade.
1) Administrative Professionals Day (formally known as Secretary's Day):This unofficial holiday recognizes the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists , and other administrative support professionals. Over the years, this day has becoming one of the biggest workplace celebrations, and it's celebrated worldwide, through community events, social gatherings, and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff with gifts.
2). World Penguin Day: This holiday coincides with the annual northward migration of penguins, which happens each year on or around April 25th. Penguins do not fly, so they walk, or waddle their way to and from. Spend a little time learning about penguins today....or go to the zoo and watch them.
3). DNA Day: This holiday commemorates the day in 1953 when James Watson and Francis Crick's article on the structure of DNA was published, and the day in 2003 when the the Human Genome Project was completed, both of which were on April 25. I just keep thinking.... Love your DNA, after all, it's in your genes. LOL
4). Hug a Plumber Day: I guess just appreciating your plumber isn't enough, as you're suppose to give him/her a hug. Now, if you don't know how to hug your plumber, I found a web video that will give you instructions. Yeah, I don't know who comes up with this.... http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/about-duluth/plumbers-day/video-for-plumbers-day/video-for-plumbers-day.aspx
5). Red Hat Society Day: Today celebrates the 13th anniversary of the Red Hat Society. http://www.redhatsociety.com/aboutus/Legacy.html will give you all the information you ever carried to know...or not know. The Red Hat Society is a global society of women that supports and encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment, and fitness.
6). Malaria Awareness Day:This holiday was designated to be April 25 by President George W. Bush in 2007. In his proclamation, President Bush called on Americans to join in on the goal to eradicate malaria on the African continent. On April 25, 2006, President Bush described Malaria Awareness Day to be a day when "we focus our attention on all who suffer from this terrible disease -- especially the millions on the continent of Africa. Malaria kills about 1 million people every year.....
Hope you are having a good day.

Wednesday -- 4/11/2012
Oh, the pollen here is killing me. I itch so bad right now that it's not even funny.The meds are working only a little....I just wanna scream!
1). International "Louie, Louie" Day: This day comes on the anniversary of the birth of composer Richard Berry, who wrote the song "Louie, Louie." It's also commemorates the release of the original version this week back in 1957. Apparently, “Louie Louie” has been recorded more than any other rock song in history....and the Kingsman version (1963?) seems to be the most popular.
2). Barbershop Quartet Day:This day honors four guys with great voices....and seems to go hand in hand with "Louie, Louie" day...LOL. This day celebrates the founding of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 11, 1938. Barbershop Quartets date back to the early 1900's in America. Even The Simpsons has had at least one barbershop quartet on their show.
3). Eight Track Tape Day: Now don't these just keep getting better and better today? LOL I remember eight track tapes, which ruled the music world in the 60's and 70's.....the format came out so people could listen to their music in their cars.....and was replaced by cassette tapes....which was replaced by CDs. If you still have tapes and a player, by all means enjoy the day listening to some great (or not-so-great)music. If not, just spend a few minutes looking back in time to when you loved your eight track tapes!
4). National Submarine Day: My first thought on this one was, does it celebrate the sandwich or the boat? A submarine is a vessel designed for underwater operations that can still sail on the water's surface. Aristotle described a submersible used in 332 B.C. by the sailors of Alexander The Great. There is also evidence that a primitive sub was built around 200 B.C. in China, but it was centuries later before the first real sub was built in 1620 by a Dutchman (of wood encased in leather). The first 'modern' sub purchased by the United States on this date in 1900 for $150,000 from Holland....so, my thought is that this day celebrates the underwater vessel....but celebrate with a sub sandwich. LOL
5). National Pet Day: The holiday was created by Celebrity Pet Lifestyle Expert & Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige. National Pet Day is “to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to create public awareness about the plight of many different kinds of animals awaiting a forever home in shelters all across the nation.” – National Pet Day Website. So give you pet some extra love and a treat today!
Well, I am back to paying bills....and praying I can afford to pay them. I'm so sick of medical bills, and of coarse everyone wants their money yesterday.
I guess I'll give Lily a treat, though she's already a very spoiled doggy.

Celebrating what???
Another day means another day of holidays to celebrate.....
1). Don't Go to Work Unless It's Fun Day: Gee, I bet I know your decision. LOL. I guess since it's Tuesday, a lot of you will be going in to work anyway....so make it fun and enjoyable. My husband took today off....
2). Tweed Day: Tweed Day celebrates one of two things. Either it celebrates the warm, fashionable woolen clothing that originated in Scotland. Seemingly always in fashion, Tweed keeps you warm and looks good, too. Or,...it celebrates the birthday of a corrupt , New York City politician. William Magear "Boss" Tweed, who was born on April 3, 1823. Boss Tweed was a politician from NYC, a U.S. Senator, and a NY State Senator. His claim to fame was being convicted of graft and corruption, for stealing millions of dollars from NYC. I guess we should celebrate the Tweed clothing...LOL...unless you live in New York.
3). Pony Express Day: On this day in 1860, the first Pony Express mail, traveling by horse and rider relay teams, simultaneously leaves St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. Ten days later, on April 13, the westbound rider and mail packet completed the approximately 1,800-mile journey and arrived in Sacramento, beating the eastbound packet's arrival in St. Joseph by two days and setting a new standard for speedy mail delivery. The Pony Express was short lived though....lasting only about 18 months....the American Civil War did it in. The TV show The Young Riders was about the pony express...and lasted longer than the actually Pony Express. LOL. (I have a story about the photographer from that show....I will have to remember to write about it).
4). World Party Day: This holiday celebrates a synchronized global mass celebration of a better world and the active creation of desirable reality. World Party Day began as a grassroots effort in 1996.....and actually the idea came from a book: Flight, A Quantum Fiction Novel, by American writer Vanna Bonta. I'm all for partying a little bit today. LOL
Have a great day...and P-A-R-T-Y.

TGIF - March 23, 2012.
TGIF, except I have to work tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about it, as it's been a while since I've coached.
I can get in to some of today's holidays, as it is National Chip and Dip Day. National Chip and Dip Day celebrates America's favorite snack duet. If you re holding a party, it is almost certain that chips and dips are on the snack list. Since it doesn't specify what kind of chips or what kind of dip...take your pick. I would think Tortilla chips and salsa would count.
I vaguely remember this date: March 23, 1989....do you? It's the date that gives us our next holiday: Near Miss Day. It commemorates the day a huge Asteroid nearly missed hitting the earth. An asteroid the size of a mountain, came within 500,000 miles of a collision with Earth. In interstellar terms, it was a near miss. Had it collided with the Earth, it would have left a devastating crater the size of Washington, D.C., and it's affect on the planet would have been catastrophic. Hey, I guess this is a reason to celebrate....LOL.
Oh, for you pet lovers, it's National Puppy Day. (and before I get asked, NO, I don't know when kitty day is). This holiday even has a website.
http://www.nationalpuppyday.com/index2.htm This holiday is to celebrate the magic and unconditional love that puppies bring to our lives. But more importantly, it's a day to help save orphaned puppies across the globe and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills, as well as further our mission for a nation of puppy-free pet stores. There are so many dogs and puppies that are waiting for a good home. Lily was a puppy when we got her....she and her littermates had been dumped on a highway. Maggie was a severely abused and beaten (and dragged by a car) young dog when we adopted her. The cruelty of people never ceases to amaze me....but I digress..... Yes, we will be adopting another dog at some point, as Lily needs a companion.
And lastly, it's Kick Butts Day. No, this isn't related to Chuck Norris....it's the day for youth to STAND OUT ... SPEAK UP ... and SEIZE CONTROL AGAINST BIG TOBACCO. http://www.kickbuttsday.org/ You can go to the official website and click on a map to find events and activities going on in your area.
I hope all of you have a great weekend. Hopefully, the pollen count will stay down a little after last night's storms.

Monday 3 19-2012
It's been a long, sad weekend and I hate to say it, but I'm glad Monday is here. Unfortunately, the pollen count here in Georgia is well over 3000 last I looked...and 100 is considered high. Ick. I am having all sorts of allergy issues.
1). National Quilting Day: This holiday celebrates fabulous quilts and those who make them. My mother is a quilter.... The National Quilting Association started National Quilting Day in 1991. Their members passed a resolution at the 22nd Annual Show in Lincoln, Nebraska, on June 1991.
2). Poultry Day: Guess this holiday is for the birds! Sorry, I just had to say it. LOL. This holiday celebrates chicken, turkey and other birds we commonly consume. Chicken and turkey are lower in fats, and cholesterol than other meats, making it better for your health, and they also give you your breakfast eggs. So, have some turkey or chicken for lunch or dinner.
3). National Corndog Day: http://www.corndogday.com Yes, this holiday actually has its own website. You can enjoy your corndog and watch basketball all day. For those of you that don't know what a is, you're missing out. It's a hot dog coated in cornmeal batter and deep fried in oil, although some are baked, and almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks. My kids loved having them as a special dinner treat.
4). National Chocolate Carmel Day: Yum! Now this is my kind of holiday. It's a day to celebrate everything great about chocolate and caramel. So have yourself a Milky Way today.
5). Operation Iraqi Freedom Day: Back on this date in 2003, President Bush came on live TV to anounce that Operation Iraqi Freedom had begun. Please just remember all our brave men and women that are serving in the military.
Maybe I'll fix corndogs for dinner....and I'm definitely going to get me a Milky Way. Chocolate fixes a lot of things. LOL Have a good day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm sorry I haven't posted the last few days. Things at my house have been a nightmare the last few days. I am hoping it will get better soon.
A very Happy St. Patrick's Day to all my friends. Saint Patrick's day is in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the Emerald Isles, as Ireland is known. It is truly a day of celebrating Irish history, ancestry, traditions and customs.....and green beer. LOL.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the rain fall softly upon your fields. And the sun shine warm upon your face.
Top of the mornin' to you.....(and the rest of the day to 'me self!)
May there always be work for you to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

May the wind at your back not be from the cabbage and corned beef that you eat today!
Everyone's at least a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. (how true, how true).
Another holiday being celebrated today is Campfire Girls Day. It was founded on March 17, 1910, in Thetford, Vermont, by Luther Gulick M.D. and his wife Charlotte Vedder Gulick. Camp Fire Girls, as it was known at the time, was created as the sister organization to the Boy Scouts of America. The organization changed its name in 1975 to Camp Fire Boys and Girls when membership eligibility was expanded to include boys. In 2001, the current name, Camp Fire USA, was adopted. I was a Campfire Girl. I went from Brownies to Girl Scouts to Campfire Girls. Campfire Girls was a lot more fun than Girl Scouts, and a lot more outdoorsy. I remember my mom going with us winter camping....and there was a ton of snow on the ground. We had to shovel around the door of the pit toilets before we could get in....then we discovered mice had taken up residence. We had to remove them before using the facilities. LOL I also remember taking my Red Cross First Aid Test in 7th grade, so I could be First Responder certified.
Lastly, it's Ta'anit Esther Day. No, I had no clue what that meant. It means the Fast of Esther, which remembers God's deliverance of the Jewish people from the evil of Haman during the reign of King Xerxes. Esther and the Jews fasted for 3 days before Esther went to the king to appeal for the deliverance of the Jews.
I hope everyone has a good St. Paddy's Day, with lots of food and green beer. I think I'll see if Mike will take us out to dinner...but he won't want to leave Lily that long (sigh).
