It's Monday!

 

Isn't it a gorgeous day??  And just think... 

only 10 more days of school!!   Amazing how fast April went...and May is following right behind.  Those of us who work the school year hours, are counting the days though!!  Some of you are retiring...sigh.  I don't know though...I was thinking the other day -- retirement isn't always that awesome...sometimes the job is good.  🙂  I guess I'm not ready to give up my job quite yet...  we'll see how next year goes, right??  My hubby is debating - he'll have 30 years in next year.  If he takes the plunge, I'll be following him.  

Anyway - the weather is glorious today, and we have lots to look forward to.  So - some fun stuff for today!

International Day of Light - This is kind of interesting.  I don't remember marking this day before.  Instead of the usual, hey, turn off all the lights and stop polluting the night sky, it's wow - light is important to technology.  Here's the site...

Mimosa Day- (the drink) so, not that I encourage drinking by any means, but just thought I'd comment on this drink.  My daughter drinks, and while we were on our cruise (was it only 5 weeks ago????) she tried a Mimosa because it's touted as this wonderful drink, right?  Well...  she thought it was disgusting, lol.  I don't think she's a big wine person, so perhaps that's it.  Who knows.  Anyway - thought for drink, lol.

National BBQ Day - BBQ!!  Who doesn't like BBQ?  Of course, there are different thoughts when it comes to BBQ.  I always think of grilled food.  I think most people think of barbequed meat, like pulled pork, beef, etc.  What comes to your mind?  Pretty much everything is tasty when cooked on a grill...  🙂

National Sea Monkey Day - I don't know why they would have a day dedicated to brine shrimp, but here ya go.  We have our own supply of brine shrimp in the Salt Lake, don't cha know?  I had no idea that a man actually patented the Sea Monkey when he started selling them in the 1950s.  If you bought into those adds that were on all the comic books in the 60's and 70's, then you'll know what it's all about.  Crazy.  🙂

So - whatever you do today, this week...enjoy!  I hope you have a great BBQ and invite the neighbors.  BBQ is a party thing, right??  🙂

Have a good one.

Happy Friday!

You made it!!  I don't know about you, but this has seemed like a really LONG week!  I have no idea why.  But - anyway, we have all survived, and it's all downhill from here!!  Well...sort of.  lol

May is the party month, right?  Well, even if you're sad to see April go, it's Cinco de Mayo next week, and that's awesome!!  (and if you're a Star Wars fan, it's also all that silliness...)

So - let's get through Friday first.  Lots of things to celebrate, think about and just enjoy.

International Dance Day - well, can't celebrate international dance day without some dancing!!  So, enjoy this favorite clip of mine.  I just love how they edited it, and the stories behind some of these...wow.  Get your dancing shoes on!  🙂

National Hairball Awareness Day - I figure anyone who has a pet is aware of hairballs.  Why would you have an awareness day??  ugh.  😋😜 🐈🐱

Poem In Your Pocket Day -  this made me think of my mom.  She was a former educator, and she loved children's poetry.  She always had books for the grandchildren, taught us all to read and love Christopher Robin before he was popular, and kept all of Shel Silvertein's books out for everyone to read.  I always thought the titles of his books were fascinating.  Here is a poem for you today...

World Wish Day -  The world needs a wish today.  I think the majority would wish for peace in these troubled times.  I saw an article that McDonalds now has all this leftover food from shutting down their Russian locations...just give it to the Ukraines!!   Sorry, political moment...all done.  🙂

Zipper Day - ever think where you would be without the invention of the zipper??  I'm amazed when I think of all the things that have zippers in them, or that came about because of the zipper.  Think of plastic baggies!  Or a jacket... made me think of this clip...

National Shrimp Scampi Day - oh boy, one of my favorite things to eat!! If you love shrimp (which I do, in pretty much ANY form) this is a great day.  I'm trying to figure out how to get some since my daughter is on dinner tonight, and she doesn't like shrimp.  I keep wondering if she got switched at birth... lol

 

Whatever you end up doing today, hope it's a great one - and that you have a marvelous weekend!  :)
