It's Thursday!

The week is almost over!  And we're well into March... crazy.
Today is a bunch of women's stuff.  I'm a woman, so I get that, but there comes a point, ya know?  I mean, 50% of the world is men, and 50% women.  It's not always about us...but perhaps that's the me that grew up in a more equal society so I've already benefited, right?
but anyway - I picked the ones that seemed the most fun.  😊

International Working Women's Day - I figure if you're going to work, might as well celebrate, right?  I've heard rumors that the pay for women to men is still unequal, but I have no complaints. 

Nametag Day - I don't think we need name tags, we wear badges, so isn't that kind of the same thing?  I mean, they even have our photos on them!!  lol  I think it's to have people see how young we were when we started at our jobs, or how we used to wear our hair, or that we used to have hair, lol.

National Proofreading Day - proofreading!!  I think newspapers still need these people. I don't know about you, but I see things all the time that I shake my head at.  I'm wondering if they do any proofreading or editing of articles in today's world of fast news...  spell check does NOT catch everything! I feel the same way about closed captioning.  I would love to have that job, but it drives me crazy when what is being said does NOT match what's coming across the bottom of the screen...  Is that just me??

National Peanut Cluster Day - this is one of my favorite candy type items in the world.  I love dark chocolate peanut clusters.  Of course, anything with nuts...and chocolate... life is good!

National Retro Video Game Day - everyone pull out your pong game and or pac man and have fun!  Our family still likes to play Mario carts, but I guess that's not really retro enough.  Maybe we'll have to watch Pixels...that's a fun one. 

My son says the new movie coming out called Ready Player Number One is based on all the 80's games and movies.  I guess that's retro, right? sigh.  It's strange to think what was the prime of your life is now considered retro...  ugh.

Well...  have a great day!!

Wow... really??

so - I didn't realize it has been that long since my last post.  I think I kind of gave up on it, knowing I don't have many follower...
