You know how I love simple holidays. Today is certainly one of those. Today is look up in the sky day. How can you celebrate today? Look. Up. In The. Sky. There might be clouds. There might be birds. There could be a plane. There could be a UFO. You’ll never know unless you look up.
Today is a good day! It’s Fun at Work day! Of course, today is also April Fools Day- probably by design. And yes, harmless pranks might be a good way to have a little fun, but it’s far from the only way. You could bring in treats. You could tell a couple work appropriate jokes. You could organize a a… Read more »
Even though it’s been over a week since it aired, there is still a great deal of discussion over the interview Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan gave to Oprah Winfrey. I admit I’ve had a fascination with the British royal family since I was a kid. My grandmother was obsessed with Princess Diana and thought she was the epitome of… Read more »
I think I speak for all of us when I say that if I never hear the phrase “The New Normal” ever again it would be just fine. This past year has been very difficult for everyone. COVID 19 has become a bigger part of our lives than anyone could have imagined 12 months ago. But there are finally glimmers… Read more »
I love simple holidays that don’t need a lot of explanation. This is a great example of one of those- today is Hug a GI day! We all know someone who served. Regardless if it was last year or 50 years ago, they all deserve a hug. So stop reading this and go hug them!

For years the humble tater tot was considered inferior to the french fry and was mostly seen in tater tot hot dish (or casserole depending on your place of origin) and elementary schools. Now this delectable option is showing up everywhere and it’s about damn time. Have you ever eaten… Read more »
Today is Spouse’s Day. The origins of this holiday are lost to time, but we know it’s been around since the mid 1980’s. But does that really matter? I say it does not. This is another easy one to celebrate. Go tell your spouse how much you appreciate and love them. Perhaps even make them a meal or do… Read more »
By now everyone who knows me knows my conflicting emotions on working from home. I know I’m so fortunate that I have been able to keep working full time when so many other have not. I also know that never leaving the house messes with my mental health in serious ways. It’s truly a mixed bag. One thing that… Read more »
Today is one of those days that’s pretty self-explanatory. Kiss a Ginger Day! This day was created in 2009 in response to “Kick A Ginger Day” that was created a few years earlier based on an episode of South Park. Insert your own joke here.
