Hi everyone! Hope you had a great weekend - today is the start of
another great week! And not only that, it's the start of a SHORT work
week, so everyone is excited, right? Well at least for those of us who work for a school district...we love Fall Break! (used to be hunters weekend or UEA...lol)
Well, we have a couple of fun things to think about/do today.
First
- It's Native American Day - I always take this day to tell my
son-in-law I appreciate him, since he's part Native American.- not that
you'd know it to look at him, lol. Got to love those Scottish
ancestries... Go watch the Lone Ranger and enjoy Johnny Depp
Canadian
Thanksgiving. This is one my family celebrates every year since my
hubby went on an LDS mission to Toronto Canada. It's fun, it's out of
the norm, and that way our married kids don't have to divide their time
between both families on the regular turkey day. win-win for everyone! and hey, we get turkey and pumpkin pie twice, which I'm lovin, let me tell you.
Natinoal
Kick Butt day. Okay - so I'm not sure this is such a good thing, but I
thought it sounded off the wall. I would imagine this is to encourage
those who are struggling to overcome something to get out there and kick
it...ya think? But actually, it's to encourage the youth to avoid
tobacco and smoking. So...there ya go.
National
Online Banking day. Hey - have to admit that the first time they but my
banking online so that I could do it from the comfort of my own home I
was sold. I guess we have the small niggle of fear of hackers...but we
are able to transfer money to pay bills from the comfort of our home
instead of running to the post office. Got to love it. Anyone else?
Free
Thought day.
Seeing as how I work for a school district that sort of encourages thought and knowledge, I felt this was an appropriate item.
Besides, I think most educators are free thinkers. Aren't we glad we
live in a nation where we can be free thinkers and express that? (well,
for the most part...sigh)
I hope everyone has an awesome day! Go eat some turkey!

I'm a grandma, wife, mother, crazy writer, spaz artist and face painter who is a disciple of Christ, loves to cook and read and wishes there were more hours in the day...oh and dark chocolate lover!

You'll notice I didn't say resolution. I didn't even say goal, although that's not a bad word. But I don't like the wo...
