Happy Friday!!

And it's raining, which we need, so it's awesome!!  I didn't have work Monday, and whenever that happens, you'd think it was a nicer week, shorter work week, yada yada.  But it always seems LONGER!!  sigh.  Go figure.  And I haven't been able to get stuff done!!  I come home and we have to run some errand, we take forever to make dinner, we get caught up watching some dumb movie...and then the evenings over and it's time to get to bed.  SIGH.  I keep thinking I'm going to get better at stuff, and it doesn't happen.  I hope I grow up someday, lol... 
Anyway, hope your week has been good and that your weekend will be awesome.

Here's some fun stuff for today, hopefully something you'll enjoy. 

National Puppy Day -  So, if you like dogs, or puppys, today is the day.  This day started in 2006, so it's not that old.   I think this calls for a Studio C sketch on the Ultimate Silent game...  wait for it.  :)


National Chia Day  -  I grew up with Chia pets and stuff, but was never thinking it was food.  Now it's a health craze and everyone puts it in their green shakes and stuff.  I haven't really gotten into it because it's a bit expensive...  but if you use it, what is your favorite way to eat it?  I'd be interested in knowing...

National Tamale Day - Interesting day to celebrate.  Here's the site where it originated... I grew up with tamales being sold in my neighborhood in California about once or twice a year.  We had neighbors on the street behind us that were Mexican, and they would cook up a batch and go around in a little wagon selling them door to door.  Now you find them being hawked in parking lots, lol.  My son brought home a bag last month that ended up in the freezer - I'll have to tell him to pull them out tonight.  I was never a big fan of them, they seemed to be mostly corn dough with some meat.  But my hubby introduced me to having them with chili and sour cream on top, and that's pretty tasty.  Which kind are your favorite?

Near Miss Day -  This is to celebrate how close we almost came to having a LARGE asteroid strike the earth.  Kind of like living through Armageddon in real life...  I don't know why we'd want to remember the day, lol.  We have thousands of asteroids come close to the planet, but I guess because they aren't the size of four football fields or such, then no one worries...  Go figure.  :)

OK Day - Well, we like this little word, so good day to celebrate, right?  And it's been around since 1839, so it's heading to it's 200th birthday, lol.  How many times a day do you use this word??  Pretty awesome.  I think it calls for a song...


National Chip and Dip Day -  I think this is a great day to celebrate!!  A suggestion was made to do it in a little different style...use fruit chips or cinnamon sugar chips and dip into something sweet.  Personally, that's just another reason for sugar, lol, and since I avoid sugar when I can, that's not going to happen in my house.  What is your favorite chip and dip??  Personally I love homemade tortilla chips and guacamole!!


National Melba Toast Day - Okay, so I only mention this one because I remember growing up with this stuff in the house.  I always thought it was nasty, but some people really like it.  Are you one of them?? 

and since we're heading into Easter celebration time and all the commercialism surrounding that holiday, lol...  I found this great idea for dying eggs naturally!!!  Check out the blog, you might find it interesting!

Well, there you have it....not too exciting, but fun.  I'll leave you with some dance music to get your feet moving toward that awesome weekend... one of my favs


and a crazy song from Peter Hollens with Hank Smith singing hobbit songs....lol
