National Pralines Day – A sweet pecan treat that is very popular in New Orleans. It originally came from France and used almonds but when those Frenchmen and women arrived in New Orleans way back when, almonds were hard to come by, so they switched to pecans and now no one even thinks of using almonds in this delectable dessert.
International Fairy Day – This
is a day that celebrates those tiny, winged, little people who are
born on the laugh of a baby. I couldn't find out where this day came
from or why we should celebrate it, but if you have children,
particularly the little girl variety, you probably already celebrate
this day every day.
Swim A Lap Day – This is a day
to get a little exercise. Put on your bathing suit, (go ahead, I'll
turn around) and hop in the pool to swim a lap. Although since you
went to all that trouble to get your suit on and find a pool, I don't
know why you would stop at one lap. Go ahead and swim as many laps
as you can.
To celebrate today, watch for fairies
on your way to the pool, swim as many laps as you can stand and then
reward yourself with a praline. Don't eat too many of them or you
will undo all that good exercise you just completed.
