Lazy Day
Today is a great day to do ……………. NOTHING! Today is Lazy Day. A day to remember to slow down, smell the roses, and enjoy the little pleasures in life. What else needs to be said?
Watermelon Day
Typically I choose holidays to highlight that I want to celebrate myself. Today is an exception. Today is watermelon day. And I hate watermelon. I know this is crazy talk to a lot of people. Most people like watermelon. My nephew LOVES it. But I don’t. It smells OK, but it feels weird against my teeth when I bite into… Read more »
Aunt and Uncle Day
Today is the day to celebrate your siblings and your parents’ siblings. It’s Aunt and Uncle Day! As anyone who knows me even a little bit knows, I LOVE my niece and nephew. They are my pride and joy and I will brag about them to anyone who will listen and even to people who won’t. And on the flip… Read more »
Embrace your Geekiness Day
I LOVE this one! Today is Embrace your Geekiness day! I could argue that I do this every day. I play clarinet in multiple municipal bands. I fan-girl over Mythbusters (that’s me with host Adam Savage in the pic). I have a (mostly) useless BS in Biology. I used to be my family’s tech support person – thankfully my husband… Read more »
Dive Bar Day
Here’s a day for the grown ups only. Today is Dive Bar Day. Definitions vary, but a dive bar is typically a no frills bar with cheap drinks. Sticky floors and outdated decor are usually part of the beauty as well. So, go out and have a drink at your local watering hole tonight!
National Selfie Day
If there was ever a holiday that shows how much things have changed since I was a kid, it’s this one. Today is National Selfie Day. Oh sure, we tried taking the occasional selfie back in the day of film cameras. But we had NO idea of they would turn out until we finished the roll and got the pictures… Read more »
Conspiracy Contradition
Have you noticed a very odd contradiction in thought by your relatives and/ or friends who love nothing more than to share the latest government conspiracy theories with you? I just noticed it myself, but now that I see it I can’t unsee it. Typically these folks LOVE to tell you how bad/ useless/ incompetent the government is. Everyone in… Read more »
International Tiara Day
Today is a fun one! Who among us has not thought at least once about wearing a tiara? Sure, a few people got to wear them in high school, but after that, opportunities to don one are few and far between for those of us not born into European royal families. But today, we all can! There is no law… Read more »
What Do YouTube? Rev 2
Some time ago I wrote about some of the channels/ creators I had discovered during COVID. If you missed it you can read it here: https://beckypalmer.wpengine.com/what-do-youtube/ Since then I’ve discovered some different ones that I am enjoying quite a bit, so I thought I’d share my newer playlist and (hopefully) find out what other folks are watching as well. #1 Randy… Read more »
