Yes, it’s true. We actually need a day now to be reminded to say nice things to each other- how sad is that? This holiday was started in North Carolina by two churches and two mayors as a way to fight back against school age bullying, but has now blossomed to include all the special folks in our lives. The… Read more »
I think we can all agree that “sleep like a baby” is a silly expression. Babies sleep for a couple of hours at a time tops. Babies usually wet themselves in their sleep. Babies need to sleep on the backs (or whatever position is fashionable this week). NO ONE wants to sleep like that! What you really want is to… Read more »
If you are a bit of nerd like me, you immediately recognized this slogan as the cover from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, from the book by the same name from the late, great Douglas Adams. And what other essential would any self-respecting galaxy traveler would carry at all times? That’s right, a towel! So yes, today is Towel… Read more »
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook lately stating Christians in America are being discriminated against. One post that’s been very popular lately goes like this: You wouldn’t demand a Jewish deli owner serve ham and cheese. You wouldn’t demand a Muslim caterer serve pork tenderloins. So why can you demand a Christian restaurants cater to same sex… Read more »
I know it’s only Tuesday, but I just couldn’t resist sharing what I think it my favorite of all the silly holidays I’ve learned about so far- Pack Rat Day! Today is a day for celebrating our inner hoarder and admitting that yes, we DO still have clothes we’ll never wear (or even fit into) ever again, greeting cards from… Read more »
Yesterday morning we celebrated the Confirmation of Faith of 5 young people at my church. 2 of them were also baptized at the same time, which I thought was pretty remarkable. As we were leaving church the accompanist played an arrangement of the Michael W Smith song “Friends”. If you are a child of the 80’s who was raised Christian… Read more »
I have no idea what sick puppy came up with this, but May 11th is Root Canal appreciation Day. I’ve never had a cavity, let alone a root canal, but from what I have heard they are not generally all that appreciated. But yay for not having to get dentures? May 11th is also my niece’s birthday. My sweet little… Read more »
As I’m sure you are aware, yesterday was Mother’s Day. And as I’m also sure you know, I do not have any children by choice. Yes I have cats and yes I do say I’m their mom, but I do know there is a huge difference between the care and feeding of a small cat and the care and… Read more »
Now that I’m feeling better I’m going to get back to my new favorite silly thing- Hump Day Holidays! And, I’m so happy that the first one I’m sharing with you is Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you all 🙂
I was raised in a staunchly loyal Republican family. My uncle was a national convention delegate in 1988. I am too young to have voted for Ronald Reagan, but I voted for Bush Sr in 1992 (my first presidential vote) and for Bob Dole in 1996. Back then I never could have imagined the day when I wouldn’t vote… Read more »
