Today is electronic greeting day. So get on your computer and start sending those great and funny holiday greetings to all of your friends and families. And most of the times you can find and send these e-cards for free. I always like getting holiday greeting for one reason or another. It isnice to know that people are thinking of you. So start sending those electronic greetings today…way before the holidays!! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: 2 Comments |

Did you know that November was I Am So Thankful month? it is an appropriate month to celebrate this. Think of all that you should be thankful for…I am sure there is more than you can think of because people always think of the bad…but there is good too. So think back to this year of all thet thinks that you should be thankful for…for the small little things to the larger and more obvious things. Perhaps share your thanks with others also.

Did you know that last week was better conversation week? I wish I would have because I never participate in good conversations and it is rather nerve racking at times. I just don’t like to be involved in stupid and mindless conversations especially with people that don’t know what they are talking about. So even if it is a week late for me or you…it is time to practice better conversations with your friends and family. Filed under: November Comments: None |

Today is the Rockerfeller Center Tree Lighting ceremony day!! How exciting is that! I just love it when they have big tree lighting ceremonies. Whether it is on tv or if it was in your local town. It is just a fun and exciting time of year. I love looking at all the lights. We always go out and ride through the towns to check out the great lights on the houses and trees!!

There is just nothing special for today…today is a nothing day as far as holidays or observances are concerned - popular or weird ones. Although sometimes Thanksgiving falls on that date. I guess everyday doesn’t have a holiday. So sit back and relax and just enjoy your happy Tuesday…or make a special day or occation for your own reasons! Filed under: November Comments: None |

Today is Pins and Needles Day…no it does not mean pins and needles in the sence of when you hand or your foot goes to sleep and it is like it feels like pins and needles. It has to do with sewing pins and needles. I have not ever been that much of a sewing expert. I am more of a cross stitch lover. I love that sort of craft but thread and needles…I just can not work quite right. It always comes out completely wrong!! Perhaps today would be a great day to treat yourself to that nice new pin cushion! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

OK….I really do not know anyone that needs this day to be around but today is the shopping reminder day…kinda crazy if you ask me but why not right. Maybe people need a little reminding that you should start now so that you will not need to do that last minute shopping. So here is your official remember…start shopping and start shopping now!!

It is not just any pecan pie month but it is the Georgia pecan pie month. Did you know that pecan pie has a ton of calories in it…but it just is so worth it if it is a good one. I wouldn’t eat just any pecan pie but a homemade one that grandma slaved in the kitchen over…mmmm….it just tastes so great especially during this time of year for some reason. If you have never had a pecan pie you just have to try it! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

I really do not know why there is a month that is dedicated to Impotency. I guess it is more of an awareness that if this is a problem that you have that you are not alone. Perhaps it is a month to raise awareness of this problem and perhaps find those solutions to the problem. Because sometimes this is very easily treatable. So if you have this problem..you are not alone and this is your month to find a way to aleviate this problem. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

I love this day because my best friend is named Aura - not Aurora but just Aura. So I always tease her and call her up today because this is her day Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |
Even though it doesn’t mean that. It is international aura awareness day. So be aware of the aura that you create around you and around others. Everyone has a special presence as well as an aura.|

Today is floss your teeth day. It is a national day also. I think that every day should be a floss your teeth day and I think my dentist would agree with me on that one also. But today is a good day to start flossing if you do not already. It is a good and healthy habit to start and keep because your teeth and gums can really say alot about your overall health!

I hope everyone has a great day today. It is a nice day to eat good and just relax with your family. Get into the holiday spirit and perhaps even trim the christmas tree even. I just love Thanksgiving because the food is just so great. I personally just love to have Turkey and the the desserts but the potatoes and gravy and the cranberry sauce…it is just great. So I hope everyone has that great day! Filed under: November Comments: None |

Today is World TV day and if you ask me…the world just gets a little too much tv already. It think it should be world take a break from tv day because it is watched too much. People are glued to the tv for hours and they are watching horrible shows or pointless movies. Sure they are fun to watch but to make a day of watching tv…well…personally I just think that every day seems to be World TV Day lets face it!

Today is a great day to name your PC…why not right…you name everything else. Actually I think that you have to name your computer when you get it. I know when my husband got one a few years back now even..he had to name it when he was registering it and setting it up. So what did you name your computer. And if you did not name it yet..then name it. It is always fun to name things if you ask me. Or have your kid name it - I bet they would come up with a good one!

Today is Donuts Day - I declared it because I set my alarm clock this morning and didn’t get up in time to have a real breakfast. Therefore I got donuts. I wouldn’t recommend this daily but every once in a while a good donut tastes really good. I just love donuts anyways especiall the vanilla creme filled ones….yum!

It is push button phone day - and most people have that push button phone. So when is rotary phone day…because that would be a day to have a weird holiday about. Rotary phones are a think of the past … even the ones that look like rotary phones are still a push button phone. So why not pick up that push button phone in your home and call your best friend or perhaps call a relative..or your mom. Happy Push button Phone Day!!!

Today is Mickey Mouse Day!!! I love Mickey Mouse and I have not been to Disney is just so long…too long if you ask me. It has changed around so much that what I have in my memories is nothing like what it is today. Maybe I should head on over to the Disney Store today and get a couple of Disney gift for the little ones in the family this year…everyone likes a Disney gift big or small. There are a lot of really nice things for adults also at that store. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

It is the end of world kindness week…which should really not be the case because we should be kind all the time and any day or time of the week. It should be the starting point of practicing this kind of behavior all the time and every day. You should try to be kind all the time and keep it in the back of your head because sometimes you just forget to be kind and you may just say mean or hurtful things and sometimes not even realizing it. It is a good season to have this week too…be kind to your friends, family and strangers!! It will make for a nicer place to live in.

Many people do not have patience for much of anything these days. But today is a day where you should try to practice and be tolerant of others. Although it is hard at times - today is national tolerance day so it is a good day to start being more tolerant in your life and towards other people. It would also maybe help ease you stress because when you are being intolerant your blood pressure I am sure is on the rise so by practicing this you may even help improve your health!

So today marks the beginning of National Farm-City Week. If you are in the city you may just want to go out this weekend to explore the country and the farms. Perhaps pick up some fresh apples or a pumpkin for your pumpkin pie. Or if you live in the country or in a farm then you may just want to go into the city…do that Christmas shopping at all those great stores. It is nice to get out and have a change of scenery once in a while. City folks need a little rest and relaxation as well as the country folk - just needing to get out!!

If you love to write then this is your day!!! It is I Love To Write day and it is a great day to write that story or that poem that you have been thinking about for a while. Start that novel or that great idea for a book you have really wanting to start and write. I know many people that have great ideas for books…especially children books but they just never get around to it because they do not have the time. Today is a great day to make the time and start writing…if you love to write … then write away today!!! Filed under: November Comments: None |

Did you know that this week is children’s book week. A perfect time to go on out and get that book for your child. Or just go to the library…you do not have to go out and get a book for them when you have a public library probably somewhere in the area. That way when you are done reading it to them or when they are done reading it - you can just return it and get a new one free of charge. A lot of schools I think are having book fairs this week too.

Do not wait til that last moment to do your hsopping whether it is for gifts or for food because you know that this weekend the markets are going to be packed.

I think it is always nice to see young children reading or trying to read. And today is a day to celebrate and acknowledge those young readers. Encourage them to read more and they may just enjoy reading which will just help them so much when it comes to school. And if they can not yet read then read to them. It is nice to have a parent read a story to you…even at 9 or 10 years old. Reading really does make for nice quality time spent together!

Today is Kindness Day. Personally, I think that something like this should be everyday but today is the official day for it. So if you can do a nice act of kindness today - it would be very nice for all involved. It is just a nice feeling sometimes to be kind to someone or to do something thoughtful. Today is a day not to think of yourself but to think of other. So be kind today especially to the people you take for granted…like parents and siblings… Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

Today is an unofficial trash day for me….and once again I forgot to take my trash out before I left to go to work. So basically that means that next week I am going to have a ton of trash to take out. Because I have been starting to get boxes and stuff from things I have been ordering on the internet. It is great to get that stuff in hte mail but man…those boxes really pile up very quickly…too quickly!! Filed under: November Comments: None |

This week is National Animal Shelter week so it is time this week to visit your local animal shelter…perhaps donate some food to the animal shelter. Animal Shelters are always in ned of donations for food for their cats and their dogs. Or perhaps maybe you would like to save one of those sheltered animlas. Peronsally I have always had better luck with animals that were mutts and found in shelters rather than those pure breed animals. Check out your local shelter to see what you can do.

The month of November is officially Aids Awareness Month. THis disease still affects so many people it is just unbelievable. And the really sad part about this is that in many dases it could just be completely avoided if you safe sex or better yet..no sex until you are married is practiced. Many young adults just do not think that something like this would ever happen to them but it does and every day. If there is a terrible disease that you have some control in not ever getting then I would take those precautions!! Filed under: November Comments: None |

Today is Child Safety Day…I think that every day should be declared schild safety day but I think today is a day to just really remember and think about things that you can do to protect your children and your family. Perhaps it is something as simple as just child proofing your home or maybe adjusting the car seats to make sure they are properly installed. Think about your child’s safely and what you can do today. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

It is also National Alzheimers Month this month … and if you know or have ever known someont htat has Alzheimers then you know how devistating this disease can be on a person and on the family. Every day they are making great strides in finding that cause and that cure. Hopefully they will find one soon because it is a sad thing to watch your loved one just kinda fade away before your very eye’s…I know first hand how sad it is with a grandmother that had this.

It is chocolate and almond day…what a perfect combinate of yummy and delicious foods! I like chocolate but if it is a candy bar that has almonds in it then it is just that much better. I love the chocolate almond hershey bars…although they never seem to put enough almonds in them if you ask me. I also love to have chocolate covered almonds…of even dip fresh almonds in chocolate..that is even better. So enjoy this fine sweet treat today!!

I just love cotton candy and I do not have it too often but when I do it is just so very tasty. I think the fairs and the amusment parks are where the most cotton candy is sold. Sure you can actually go out and purchase a cotton candy making machine for your home but I would ever use it. And besides then cotton candy wouldn’t be a special treat and wouldn’t taste as good if you had it all the time. So go out and find that nice pink or blue cotton candy and enjoy it today!!

Today is election day. The first Tuesday of every November is declared election day. It is an important day because who you elect and what you decide on voting on can make a huge impact in your life and your community…schools and officials. Everyone should take this day seriously because even though it is not a presidential election year this year it is important to vote on the pressing issues that could effect you and your family for the next year of more!

Whoo—Hoo!!!!! I love today…I mean who does not like Donuts right!!! And today is national donut day. Just an other reason to go on out and get some donuts- a 1/2 dozen perhaps a dozen…and what kind too. I love the vanilla creme! Or maybe a thing of the glazed munchkins or herhaps just get the donut holes…the possibilities are endless. I just love donuts and I do not think that I actually know someone that does not. I do however know many people that do not want to eat them because they are just so fattening…but oh so good! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and November Comments: None |

It is national pet cancer awareness month. My sister lost her dog to cancer this summer. It was really quick too. She noticed something was wrong and within 3 weeks her dog died…very sad actully. The dog was always going to the regular checkups and they never noticed anything before and the does was healthy and happy it seemed until the last 3 weeks. So be sure to go to your vet regularly!

Ok - this is definately a weird one….it is brown shoes days…and that means that you should wear brown shoes today. And that made me think…I do not even have brown shoes! How can one not have brown shoes. In fact, I only have one set of shoes and they are black shoes. I basically just wear sneakers for the most part. The cheap kind at walmart are my favorite kind of sneakers so when they get all brown from the dirt and mud…at least I didn’t spend alot.

If you are a housewife…then today is your day so sit back and relax. You deserve a break and although many do not appreciate the good housewife you deserve a day too. Being a housewife as well as a working mom in most cases is a full time job for 2 people not just one woman! And you need a break and a day to just say…hey, this is my day so I am not going to clean..I am taking a break. It is exhausting trying to keep up with everything all the time and you sometimes need to pamper yourselves! So go shopping or get that manacure…what ever you like!

Today is sandwich day…which is fine with me. I do not have enough money this week to send out for that pizza so sandwiches sound just great! I thing a nice ham and lettuce sandwich would be great with a pickle and some chips. It is easy to make and even easier to clean up so that just works for me! Sometimes a sandwich is all you need to…especially on a cold and rainy Saturday. Maybe a side of soup would go good with it too!

Or just go out and get something that has figs in it this week! Filed under: November Comments: None |

It is just so important I think that the whole family is involved with literacy. I think it is great to read to a child because it really does help with their over all academic progress. Today is Fmialy literacy night….so take out your favorite books and stories and read them to your children. And perhaps have the children read back to you. It is a nice past time…and quiet time for the family. A great time to wind down the day and settle down as well as it being great quality time.

But you do not have to go in the kitchen today to cook and then later clean up the mess. Today the hubby is in the kitchen cooking away!!!!

Ok - today I officially declare as candy recovery day. It is a day where all just has to recover fromt he highs and lows of having all that candy and all of those sweets. Try not to eat too much left overs today and be sure to brush your teeth. So many kids are probably walking around with that sugar high as well as rotting teeth. Control your candy urges today!!!
