Today is take my children to work please….It is kinda funny. I don’t even have take my own children to work day let alone take someone elses children to work. I think it is rather fun to do though…taking you kid to work so that they can see what you do and where you spend your day and what you complain about when you get home Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is National HIV Testing Day. If you have not been tested for HIV and you really should then today is a great day to do so. It is just a simple test. I think that the hardest part of the test is just the waiting for the results. Even if you are sure that you are negative you are still just a little worried for some reason. So get the doubt out of your mind and take a test! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is Helen Keller Day. It is a day to remember her. I remember reading the book and then watching the movie. I found it be an interesting story as well as an excellent book and I really enjoyed the movie. It is amazing what this women accomplished despite her disablities in a time in history that was not accomidating to people that were blind and deaf. Happy Helen Keller Day.

Today is Happy Birthday To You Day - I guess if it is really your birthday then this is really your lucky day…kinda cool actually. I think that more people actually should celebrate your non-birthday like in Alice In Wonderland. But today is happy birthday to you day. This is a nice time to have a birthday - it is away from the holidays too - so you get more gifts half way through the year - Yeah!

So adopt a shelter cat this month…June is adopt a shelter cat. My sister in law works for a shelter..actually she volunteers for it. And she is always talking home animals from the shelter because she feels so incredibly bad for them. Of course you can not bring them all home but you do - at least I always do and she does too…she doesn’t always keep them but she does find great homes for them. Filed under: June Comments: None |

This week is mosquito control awareness week and the mosquitoes are coming out. It is a good idea to have you yard sprayed. Actually what my neighborhood does is we all call the same day so that the truck comes to spray all of our yards because it is just more effective that way. I mean the mosquitoes in the neighbors yard are not just going to stay there…they are not dogs…they are going to fly in your yard so if large areas are sprayed at the same time it is more effective.

Today is hand shake day…how do you do and shake hands. I use to always sing that song or at least think it when I would meet someone new because I would usually shake their hands. It is always nice when you meet someone to shake hands because it is the friendly thing to do. I remember when I was little me and my friend would try to make up a really cool hand shake..we would always forget it by the next day though because it was so elaborate.

I used to love those bomb pop popcycles…they really remind me of when i as little and when we would have field day we would all get popcycle at the end. And they are really quite good. They still sell them too - sometimes they are called rocket pops too. It makes me want to go right on out to the store to get some of these. I have not had a pocycle in just so long an they are so refreshing this time of year and they are a cheap snack too. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is the day for you to celebrate your senses…it is celebrate you senses day. It is amazing how when you really take a step back to look and really think about things you just start to really appreciate them more. I experienced a great sense of taste tonight…chocolate chip cheesecake. It was delicious. I actually make it and it takes so much better with mini chocolate chips as opposed to the bigger chocolate chips. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is national columnists day - so if you are a columnist then this is your day. Today is your day so have a great day and go and treat yourself to a dinner or something special. Everyone has a day - and every profession seems to have a day as well. But the thing is that you just do not know when your day is until it was too late. So today is your day…happy columnist day!

This is an interesting one. Today is considered Fairy Day. If you believe in those little flying creatures that have those special magical powers like in Sleeping beauty then this is your day. Or the tooth fairy….I never actually believed in the tooth fairy - I always knew it was my mom putting that quarter underneith my pillow. Imagine that…I was happy with a quarter - couldn’t really buy anything but it was still a quarter. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is public service day. So today is a great day to go on out and do something good for someone. It is always good to have a public service service day. The last time I did something like that though was when I was in high school and we had to do community services. It is something that you may not like to do but one you do you just feel better about yourself. And you make someone else happy by helping out.

Today is my sister’s bridal shower. We are not having any silly games though. Sometimes they are ok - I guess. I am not a fan of the baby shower and bridal shower games. I find them lame and just not all that fun- kinda tacky. Just get right to it if you ask me. Eat, open gifts, give out door prizes, have cake and leave. Everyone is happy and she gets the gifts…showers are a crazy tradition if you ask me actually. Filed under: June Comments: None |

Today is let it go day. If you have that grudge against someone or have something that has been bothering you for quite sometime today is just the day to just let it go. Let it go can be easier said than done but sometimes it is just the best thing to do. Sometimes it really is the only thing to do. You can eliminate some stress in your life also perhaps by just letting it go. There are many things in the past that I have just let go..otherwise I would be a very bitter and upset person.

Today is kids day? I just don’t get it because I pretty much thought that everyday was kids day. At least raound here every day is kids day. there are 365 days of the year devoted to kids pretty much and there is one day for mom and one day for day. I say that we should have a parents day. Maybe today really should be kids appreciate your parents more day. But it is not so Happy kids day…again I suppose! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: 1 Comment |

This week is carpenter ants week….Personally, I would be more aware if you have an ant problem. A carpenter ant problem is a serious problem and if left un noticed you could have terrible problems later. Carpenter ants just eat away at the wood and over time as they multiply it will be even more difficult to get rid of. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is take your dog to work day. If you have a dog and you have a great place to work where you could do this then go for it. Or if you work for yourself then take your dog into the office today…it will be a nice treat for all of you …unless you have a crazy puppy like I do then it may not be that great of an idea Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Today is recess at work day..so that means taht you should not work and just have recess all day. Recess at work…that wounds nice. The thing is tha tsome jobs really are all recess and play. I really wish that I had that sort of job but I don’t as many do not. So today is the day to make your day a recess day. No care and no worries and if it is a nice day then go outside - why not set up an office softball game too! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Did you know that June is dairy alternative month. I personally do not like the dairy alternatives…I perfer real dairy..milk, cream, ice cream…you name it. But if you are into dairy alternatives this is your month. And if you have never had dairy alternatives you may just want to try them. They are not bad…I have tried them and they are ok. However, I just prefer to have the real stuff…that is just me though. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Well, today is the last day of school in my town…ok - it is not a real holiday but it sure feels like one to all the kids and to all the teachers!! I think that both teachers and kids need a break. Besides I really do think that kids have to be kids. Go outside and have fun…4 more weeks or book reports and math facts doesn’t really amount to anything but more stress in a little child.

There really is not anything today. No holidays what so ever….not even a really weird one. This actually only happens a few times a year. So I guess you can just make one up if you want. See what you can come up with. I swear that half of these days are completely made up anyways!! Filed under: June Comments: None |

Today is the beginning of the Meet a Mate week. If you do not have that special person in your life then now is the time and this is the week to go on out and find that special person for you. Everyone has someone for them somewhere out there….you just have to find them. Sometimes you can find them in a store or through a friend. And many times you can actually find someone special right online at those dating sites. So today is almost done but there is always tomorrow… Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

I think that root beer is my favorite soda flavor to have. I like Dr. Pepper as wel lbut there is something about a nice glass of root beer that is just so refreshing. And you can plop a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in it and you have yourself a nice rootbear float that is great during those hot summer months.So if you like root beer and you haven’t had any in a while then why not go out to day and get yourself a bottle - pick up some ice cream too Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

Did you know that today is Fudge Day…my family says that I make the best holiday fudge. The funny thing is that I make it year round because it is just so good. But for some reason fudge does taste the best around the christmas holidays and during that time of the year. But today is fudge day so maybe I will make it - it i just so easy to make and a very inexpensive treat that is very rich in flavor!

Today is Loving day…so put all of those bad and ill feelings aside so that you can start loving. It will just make you happier too and it will be sure to rub off on others. If you are in a great mood then the people around you will most likely be in a good mood as well. So start loving and stop being a grumpy person. Today is a beautiful day..actually the perfect spring day - sunny and not hot at all. So enjoy the day and appreciate what you do have.

Today is nursing assistant day. Someone that you may take for granted. Today is your day - I think every profession should have a day that is there. It is the day to appreciate what they do because without a nursing assistant someone’s job would be much more difficult than it is. So have a great day today. This is a great profession to go into if you are contemplating a new profession or a different one than you are in right now. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

If you are an automobile service professional then this is your week. Every profession has or should have a week where their work is appreciated and recognized and without these professionals then who would fix our cars? This is something that most people sooner or later need but can not do themselves. I know that I can not. In fact, if I could go back to high school and take a class I think I would take auto body class. The only reason I didn’t was because the people that were in that class were kinda weird at the time.

We are at the end of Clothesline Week. I just love having a clothesline in the spring and summer months. There is something about putting you clothes out to dry on the line outside that is just so nice. And they smell so much fresher and just feel softer than the dryer. And you are saving energy and lowering your electric bill by doing this. Just be sure to shake out the clothes…don’t want any bugs or even worse… a bee to be stuck in your pair of jeans!

If you are not married then this is your month for you…celibacy awareness month…that is what June is. And if you are still in high school then you should not be sexually active yet. Be a kid for as long as you can and stay out of those serious relationships because chances are you are not even going to be with that person you are with in high school. Also…there are just so many diseases and things out there that it is just better to not have a relationship like that until you are married.

It is something that has been said for years…you can get cancer from too much sun exposure which is why your need to protect the skin that you have. Put on that sun block and not only in the summer but year round. Especially now though because you will be wearing less clothing and your skin is the only skin you will have so protect it. Prevention is best and it is just so easy to do in this case. When you are young you do not think that the sun is bad until you are in your 30’s and you look like a raisin!

This week is considered to be superman week…I really don’t know why but it is this week. Personally, I have always preferred Batman. I don’t really care about any of them but my husband likes the batma movies better than the superman ones so never really watched the superman ones. Ad I would have never watched the batman ones if my husband didn’t. But if you like superman - this is your week so get on your cape and try to turn back time!

Today is Ball Point Pen day..kinda a weird day but none the less…that is what today is. I love certain colored pens. I write so much nicer when I have a blue inked pen rather than black ink. My writing doesn’t look nice with black ink…it is weird. Does anyone else have the problem too. And red ink…my penmanship is just not good. Blue ink is my choice color personally.

The month of June is dedicated to Vision Awareness month. Now is the time to go out and get that eye exam that you have been putting off. I agctually get my eyes checked every other June. I personally do not like to get my eyes checked. I don’t like the exam at all but it is something that you really should have done. If they can detect things ealrier it is much better than later that is for sure. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: None |

This month is potty trainng awareness month. It is time to start to at least try to potty train that toddler. It is just so much easier to try to potty train this time of year because you don’t have as many clothes on for them to have to take off. And for girls you can put them in sundresses so that it is very easy for them to go tot he potty by themselves. I figure they will get it eventually so not to stress over it. Although not having to buy those diapers would be nice! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and June Comments: 1 Comment |

A good take to reflect on how you can better the environment whether it is using safer products or recycling or getting that hybrid car so you do not take up as much gas whcih will actually help you save money as well. Today is a great day to start being more aware of our environment and trying to keep it cleaner, safer and just a better place to live in.

I just love roses. My favorite color roase is the yellow rose. I also love pink and white but I am not that fond of red. Mainly because I think that the other colors for some reason last a little longer than the red ones. The month of June is Rose month.. a perfect time to go out and plant your own rose bush so that you can have roses all summer long year after year!
