National Buttercrunch Day – I like
chocolate but I'm not a big fan of stuff mixed into it so I'll take a
pass on this day. But for all those buttercrunch lovers, here's a
recipe for you to try.

National Cheese Lover's Day –
Finally! A day that my husband can get excited about. Cheese
predates written history so we're not sure who first started the
cheese making process. But there is some speculation that it was
begun by Nomadic tribes who carried their milk in animal skins and
organs. If milk is carried in an animal stomach, it will turn to
curds and whey which doesn't sound appealing, but it's starting to
turn into cheese so the nomads probably enjoyed it.
National Penguin Awareness Day – If
you live in Sandy, Utah, call up The Living Planet Aquarium. Last
year on this day they offered free admission to anyone dressed as a
penguin or in black and white from head to toe. Maybe you'll get
lucky and they'll do it again this year. The rest of the world will
have to make do with watching a Penguin documentary. Several species
are endangered due to oil spills, climate changes and eroding
habitat. A sad plight for this adorable little animal. Did you know
there are fairy penguins who only weigh about 2 pounds as adults?
Camcorder Day – Does anyone still
have one of these? They were the latest, most exciting gadget when I
was young.
Inauguration Day – Today is the
official Inauguration Day, however, since it falls on a Sunday this
year, the public swearing in of the President will occur on Monday,
January 21.
National Disc Jockey Day – I think
that most everyone listens to the radio at some point in their day.
Today is the day to call up your favorite disc jockey and tell them
how much you appreciate what they do. Where would we be without
invisible people speaking to us and playing music for us through
little boxes in our cars or bedrooms.
World Religion Day – People of
different religions can get along and can even find common ground
with their beliefs if they are willing to look for it. Today is a
day to promote tolerance of other's beliefs and to find those
similarities instead of focusing on the differences.
National
Sanctity Of Human Life Day (or Pro-Life Day) is the third Sunday in
January. Begun by President Ronald Reagan and continued by both
President George H.W. Bush and his son President George W. Bush, this
day is meant to celebrate life and discourage abortions. As with
anything related to this topic, people either love it or hate it.
To celebrate
today you can dress up as a penguin, eat nothing but cheese and
buttercrunch all day, find your old camcorder and record everyone you
encounter today as you visit as many different religious places of
worship as you can fit into the day. At each place you can proclaim
your plan to never have an abortion (unless that is not your plan
because I wouldn't want you to lie) and you can listen to a variety
of DJ's on your radio which you are carrying around with you. You
can also program your VCR (see how old I am?) or DVR or other such
acronym to record the Inauguration tomorrow.
