It's Tuesday...and shocker, two days in a row!!

People are going to wonder if I've gone off my rocket, I know - two posts in two days???  Someone go check on her!!  lol  But to be honest, I'm totally bored at work and this is something I can legally do to cheer my co-workers, so I do it.  :)
Not a lot of stuff, but some fun things for today...

First - it's National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day - which is good to mention.  The true pastrami sandwich is on rye bread with dark mustard, but I wouldn't prevent anyone from using sourdough, lol.  Apparently it's a big NON-Jewish thing to do... and did you know that Deli's are apparently a Jewish type thing?  I had no idea.  And they are fading...there used to be several hundred in New York and now there are only a couple hundred in the whole country.  Interesting how food trends go...  Do you ever go to a deli?  I don't know that I've ever been to an official deli outside a grocery store deli counter.

Dress Up Your Pet Day - Which is kind of fun, my daughter has a mini dachshund (wiener dog!) and she just made him a sweater because he's been cold.  It's so cute!!  There have been some really cute videos of dogs dressed up...but who would think that far in advance?  I like this scene from Secret Life of Pets...

International Kite Day - I don't think today would be good for kite flying around here... we have better winds in March, right? 

National Poetry at Work Day - This is fun.  I think businesses should have a poetry contest.  Perhaps who could come up with the best limerick or rhyming lines - even a haiku!  

Here's what I came up with:

 

The bleakness of winter

the grayness of sky

all brighten with sunshine

and smiles of those walking by.

No winter is so bleak

or sky so dark

that a warm smile cannot banish

or bring a happy spark.

or a haiku...

Winter bleakness

Sunshine conquers

Smiles bring joy

I'm not real good at haikus...or poetry, lol

National Shop For Travel Day - well, sounds like a plan to me.  I hear that most people plan their next vacation right after they have returned from one.  I think a lot of people plan vacations depending on the weather.  They plan for beaches in the winter and cool locations and breezes in the summer.  When is your favorite time to shop for travel?

Organize Your Home Day - kind of ironic that yesterday was clean off your desk at work...now it's time to organize your home.  Ever notice that right after Christmas they start selling all the big totes to organize and store your stuff in?  Like that's the only time you're going to be wanting to do that...  And speaking of organizing your home - have you noticed all the storage places popping up?  There's a new one on Antelope, and it seems everytime a business closes it's taken over by a storage place.  K-Mart is a case in point...  good grief.  I guess most people don't have a garage (lol) or an attic where they can store things.  Does that people have too much stuff?  My daughter lives at home and has a storage place for her stuff left from when she lived in an apartment.  My hubby keeps telling her that over the years she's been paying for that spot, she could have purchased the stuff twice over....  Food for thought...

Anyway, hope you have a great day and enjoy some pastrami.  B'tayavon, as they say in yiddish... it means basially the same as Bon appetit!
