National Lollipop Day –
Everybody loves a lollipop. It doesn't seem to matter how old you
are, they make you feel young again.
Moon Day – This is the fifth
annual celebration of space exploration. Find an observatory or
museum near you and see if they have any special events, exhibits,
and activities today.
Toss Away the “Could Haves” and
“Should Haves” Day – Celebrated on the third Saturday in
July, this is a day to write down your “could haves” and “should
haves” on a piece of paper and throw it away into the garbage.
Make a resolution to never live in the past and wallow in your
regrets. You can't change anything that has happened, you can only
chose to make life better today.
National Woodie Wagon Day –
Back in the 1940's and until 1951, car makers used wood to accent the
outside of automobiles. Today we celebrate this American symbol of a
casual lifestyle. I'm not too certain why this sort of decoration on
your vehicle indicates a casual lifestyle so perhaps someone out
there can enlighten me on this.
Ugly Truck Day – Although
there is some disagreement about whether this day is celebrated today
or June 20th, it seemed that the most reliable looking
information I found put it on this day. If you have an ugly, old
truck sitting in your yard rusting slowly into nothingness, this is
the day for you. If it will run, take it out for a drive and show it
off today. If it won't run, take a picture of it and show it off to
everyone you meet. Maybe you can join an ugly truck competition
today. You won't have to look too hard in order to find one.
To celebrate today, take a picture of
your ugly truck, make a bunch of copies, grab a bag of lollipops,
decorate your car to look like a woodie wagon and drive around town
handing out lollipops and truck pictures to everyone you meet. When
you run out of lollipops and pictures, head to an observatory to join
in the Moon Day celebrations. When you get tired of that, go home
and write down all of your “could haves” and “should haves”
and throw it into the trash. There don't you feel like a big weight
has lifted off your shoulders?
