National Margarita Day – I'm not sure
who invented these drinks or when but I know they've been around for
a while. They are tasty, but dangerous.

Woolworth's Day – On this day in
1879, Frank Winfield Woolworth opened the first Woolworth's store,
pledging to sell nothing that cost more than a nickel. They expanded
to 1000 stores in their peak but, sadly, finally closed their doors
for good in 1997. I'm also pretty sure they raised their prices at
some point.
International World Thinking Day –
This is a Girl Scout celebration where girls all over the world honor
their 'sisters' and strive to make life better for the poorest people
in the world.
George Washington's Birthday – One of
the father's of our country. Have a piece of cake for George today.
Walking The Dog Day – Well, if you
own a dog, every day is walking the dog day, but make sure you give
him an extra long one today. After all this winter weather, I'm sure
he/she needs it.
Be Humble Day – If you have a job
interview today, you'll have to take a pass on celebrating this day
because today is a day to not talk about yourself and your own
accomplishments. Today compliment others on what they accomplish and
give them the opportunity to shine.
National Cook A Sweet Potato Day –
Sweet potatoes are a nutritious, rich, powerhouse food. Here are a
whole lot of recipes you might want to try in order to take advantage
of this day.

Sadly, we cannot go to Woolworth's to
celebrate today, but we can have a margarita and reminisce about the
Woolworth's we used to go to when we were kids. While we're
thinking, see if you can come up with some ways the Girl Scouts can
combat poverty. Then take the dog for an extra long walk. It will
need to be extra long because you will be stopping everyone you meet
in order to ask about and celebrate their accomplishments. Finish up
the day with sweet potatoes for dinner and birthday cake for dessert!
