Blah, Blah, Blah Day – This is a day to do all the things that you have been asked to do but don't remember because you tuned out the asker and didn't really listen when they gave you the list. Yeah, that would be my kids.
International Bat Appreciation Day – Created by http://smileybat.com/holidays/ and sponsored by Bat Conservation International, this is a day to admire everything about bats, including the fact that they eat insects.

Support Teen Literature Day – This is a day to celebrate the amazing quality and variety of literature available for teens today. There is so much more out there for this age group than there was when I was a kid. I am envious and find I enjoy reading it just as much as my teens do.
Get To Know Your Customers Day – Yes, you're right! We had this day in January already. However, you will see it again twice more this year because it is celebrated on the third Thursday of every quarter as a reminder to business owners about how important it is to know who your customers are and what their needs might be. Take a customer out to lunch or dinner in order to get to know their needs so that you can better figure out how your business can meet those needs.
National High Five Day – Celebrated on the third Thursday in April, this is a day for saving lives.

National Ask An Atheist Day – Celebrated on the third Thursday of April, this is a day to ask an atheist anything you want about their beliefs, or rather, unbeliefs. They don't wish to be yelled at or chastised or converted, but will gladly participate in a civilized discussion.
