Today is Waitstaff Appreciation Day. If you ever were a waiter or waitress yourself, you know what a lousy job it is. Crazy weird hours, unreasonable customers, aching feet, the list goes on. It’s a necessary job in today’s world but often one that’s looked down upon by folks who think they are “better than that”. The year 2020 has… Read more »
To put it mildly, 2020 has been a dumpster fire so far and I’m not holding out a lot of hope for it to get much better anytime soon. This pandemic has upended everyone’s life in some fashion. But we can’t forget there ARE still good things going on. People are having babies. People are getting married. People are falling… Read more »
If there was ever a time we needed World Cocktail Day, it’s 2020! Fun fact- cocktails as we know them were largely the result of the poor quality of spirits available (legally or otherwise) during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Something was needed to mask the taste of bathtub gin and so mixers because hugely popular. By the time the quality… Read more »

Today is Dress Up Your Pet Day. But I beg you not to. Not today, or any other day. Your cat does not want to wear a sweater. Your dog does not want to wear a tutu. Your rabbit does not want to wear a hat. These animals, like most household pets, already are wearing a fur coat. They are… Read more »
Tis the season for “year in review” and “new year, new me” blog posts and status updates. Some are cute, some are poignant, some are downright annoying (fact- NO ONE cares about your workout routines or fad diet). But, the end of the year does seem to make everyone a little introspective, including me. Don’t worry- I’m not going to bust out another Year… Read more »
What do you want for Christmas (if you celebrate)? Some people answer that question with a specific item or items. Some people answer they want their family together, happy and healthy. Some people even bust out the old beauty queen cliche of world peace. Lately that lofty goal of world peace seems further away than ever- we can’t even have… Read more »
Today is one for the ladies- it’s Men Make Dinner Day! Most of us are two-income households now and the days of the little woman staying home and having a gourmet meal waiting for her man when he gets home are long gone. It’s high time men get more involved with preparing meals for the family! Many guys are great… Read more »
Today is a day I wish would have been around when I was a kid- It’s Smart is Cool Day! I was bullied a lot in school, and frequently my supposed superior smarts were a target.
