Today we celebrate:

 

National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day – Well, someone needs to create all these crazy days that we celebrate, they don't make up themselves and apparently whoever is doing it is running out of ideas. So today you'll just have to make up your own. Make it a good one.

National Nougat Day – Nougat, a part of many of our favorite candy bars, is thought to be thousands of years old and perhaps to have originated in Rome. There are many different recipes for it used by many different candy makers. So pick the one you like the best and stick with it.

Spinach Festival Day– I know I might be in the minority here, but I actually like spinach. Lenexa, Kansas has a Spinach Festival every September, but it's not September yet, and I cannot find out why there is a Spinach Festival Day in March.

Legal Assistants Day– This is a day to recognize the contributions of legal assistants everywhere who work so hard to make the lawyers look good.

American Diabetes Association Alert Day – Celebrated on the 4^th Tuesday in March, this is a day for everyone to take the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if you are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes.

To celebrate today, put your head together with the rest of the heads in your family and come up with your own holiday and method of celebrating it. Then have something with nougat to celebrate your genius. Head out to a lawyers' office to find a legal assistant so you can thank them for their hard work. Then, head home to take the Diabetes Risk Test and have some spinach for dinner.
