So along with it being national chicken month it is also national biscuit month…chicken and biscuits…they go quite nicely together if you ask me Filed under: September Comments: None |
I don’t really like biscuits because I just find them to be very dry at times. Unless they are home made. My grandfather makes good biscuits but I do not like the ones you get say from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Happy Biscuit Month!|

I love this day…it is Love Note Day - how romantic is that. I mean I do not remember when was the last time that I got a romantic love note…I think that I was in elementary school to be quite honest. I think love notes between couples should be passed around more often and what better day to start than today. So write up a little note - put it on a post it and stick it somewhere before you leave to work. Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and September Comments: None |

Today is ancestor appreciation day. So it is a good time to look into your past and perhaps ask your grandparents about your heritage. Personally, I always find it to be very interesting to learn more about ones past. Today is a great day to start that quest into your ancestory. You may be surprised to find that you have a rich heritage of great stories and people. And it is always good to know so someday you can pass it down to your grandchildren.

It is very important if you have a chimney and most homes do have a chilmney even though they may not have a fireplace. You really want to make sure that it is cleaned out yearly because you never know what kind of stuff builds up in there or critters that are living in there blocking it up. You would not want to have a fire started in the chimney or create such an air blockage that you get CO2 in your home because of it. This is chimney safety week so now is the time to get it checked!

Here is a great one for all that just need to rest and relax. Put your fee up today. Just take that well deserved break that you may need. When you are sitting I just think it really does feel so much better to put up your feet rather than have them just hanging down in front of you. So put your feet up!!

Did you know that today is punctuation day? I guess you should be very aware fo the punctuation that you use today. Or perhaps use more…talk in exclamations all day like Elaine did on a very funny Seinfeld episode. Whatever it really means…have a great punctuation day!

Today is family table day. I think that every day should be family table day but perhaps this can be the first of many for you and your family. It is just so important to have the communication throughout a family and what better way to achieve that than at your family table. You see the commercials for it all the time and it is just so true. So start today, family table day and doing this daily everyday!

This is the start of Adult Immunization Awareness Week. It is also almost flu season time so this is a good time to remember to get immunized. You do not want to get sick especially when you can prevent it. And most of the time you can get the immunizations free form your doctor or from a clinic. Do not forget this year because as like all years…this is going to be a year for many flu’s! Filed under: September Comments: None |

I love to play miniature golf and the thin git that it is a great thing to do on a spring, summer or fall day. It is just a lot of fun especially for a family and you do not have to be a pro at golfing. You just have to be able to get the ball through the windmill Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and September Comments: None |

Today, September 21, 2007 is World Alzheimer’s Day . This is a very important day to remember and a great cause to contribute your time and your donations too. I have a relative with Alzheimer’s and I know exactly what it can do to a person and their loved ones. It is very devastating to see someone go from full of life, independence and vitality to being completely dependant in constant need of care and not to even remember their own grandchildren within less than a years time. It is nice to know that you can help out in fighting for a cure in this cause like hosting a Purple Party event. And there are just so many things that you can do. If you are having a bridal shower instead of getting gifts you can ask for donations instead which is what my sister in law is doing. She has a home already and doesn’t really need anything and her grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s for 3 to 4 years before she died. You could also host a dinner or even better a desert party! And kids can get involved with this as well…perhaps have a local car wash where all the proceeds go towards this cause and while you are at it have a little bake sale stand there too so people can buy cookies or brownies while their car is being washed. The possibilities are just endless in what you could do to help but just keep in mind a certain code of ethics and keep your hosting parties clean and respectable. And keep in mind also that all donations in September will be matched dollar-for-dollar by The Harrah’s Foundation. It is not too late to sign up at Purple Party to host your party. And what is great about this is that registering when you register your party at actionalz.org you will be able to make your own page for your party. That way you can send an email reminder to your guests and if they can not attend they can still make donations right online. It is a great way to start out this upcoming holiday season…knowing that you have helped a great cause! Giving is truly the best gift!!

Well, this week was National Flower Week - it is the 3rd week in September each year. But it is still not too late to go out and get those nice fall flowers to plant in your yards. The kinds that have the orange, yellow and red colors that just make for the perfect fall flowers. Just be sure that if you know there is a frost coming you either bring them in or you can also cover them up with a plastic bag - that way they can survive through a few frosts before the fall comes to an end.

This week is substitute appreciation week. Lets face it…if there were no substitutes in the world then many of us would be out of a job. Whether it is a school or an office there are always substtutes and temps helping out. And today is the day to say thanks…thanks for taking the time to cover others butts when they are out sick or when they are taking that personal day. Without substitutes things just would not run smoothly. Filed under: September Comments: None |

Now is the time to update your resume and what better month to do it in than update your resume month! That way if you do finally find that better job you have been wanting and needing you will be ready to just send in your most up to date resume. Otherwise you may lose out because while you are fixing your resume someone else already has sent theirs in and gotten the job that you really wanted. And if you always keep it up to date you will never have to worry about that! Filed under: September Comments: None |

It is actually a lot of fun and you could get quite use to it…but it is only one day so enjoy it today because tomorrow that would just be weird!

If you believe in superstitions then today you have to try to resist. Today is the one day that you would resist in superstition today. So if you see that black cat today - do not worry…it is just superstition. Although superstitions do hold up a lot of power. But if you do not think about it so much they are really meaningless. Just don’t go under that ladder…that is a health hazard! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and September Comments: None |

Today is video game day…my husband just loves video games and they really are addictive. I remember I just loved a certain Ninetendo game when I was little adn I think that I wasted the entired summer trying to win it. I did but that summer really went by fast and I didn’t do much of anything. I never did that again. So if you have a favorite video game today is the day to play it. Or perhaps go out and get that game that you have been wanting! Filed under: Weird Holidays and Observances and September Comments: None |

Isn’t it funny that the day after labor day is considered the first day of fall. It is the unofficial start of Fall. Which is really to bad and dones’t make much sense because it is really still hot at times in September. But people put the clothes away an d fall and winter stuff out. Do not do this!! It is still sumer so enjoy it. There will be plenty of time for those clothes and that sort of thinking - enjoy the 20 days of summer in September!! Filed under: September Comments: None |

Today is international literacy day - which I think is a good thing to celebrate. I think the it is important to promote the importance of literacy and especially when it comes to our youth. It is amazing to me how many people can not read. And it is even more amazing the amount of people that made it through high school that still can not read. So celebrate literacy day today!

Today is the start of many people’s fall cleaning. The kids are going back to school so people are cleaning out those closets and drawers. Do not forget to wash those windows. Not that I think it really makes a difference but I personally have the terrible habit of doing that. So have fun doing your fall cleaning even though it is technically not fall yet. It is still summer which is why I think you should wait and enjoy the sun and the summer before it is gone till next year!! Filed under: September Comments: None |

Yes today is Labor Day and most people have the day off from work today to celebrate the day. But did you know that it is also National bathtub race day!

So it is the first day of September…where did August go? Don’t you find that some months just completely and totally fly by so much faster than other months. And I think that August has always been a fast month. Maybe because of school or the summer ending but that month is fast as well as December. I think that month flys to but August is faster. So happy first day for September. Filed under: September Comments: None |
