Today we celebrate:


National Boyfriend Day - Today we honor the boyfriends that are a part of our lives whether they are romantic boyfriends or platonic ones. Make sure they know how much you care about them today by giving them gifts, taking them out for a meal, or sitting down and telling them how you feel.

Mean Girls Appreciation Day - This is a day to celebrate the movie, Mean Girls.  Do you have any good quotes from the movie you can share? How about this one… “That’s why her hair is so big. It’s full of secrets.”

National Virus Appreciation Day – I'm not too sure about this one. Well, I’m sure that it exists, I’m just not sure why.  Perhaps someone can enlighten me about what there is to appreciate regarding viruses of any kind. There are living organisms that we call viruses that make us sick and there are computer viruses that make our computers sick. Either way, I don't appreciate them one little bit.

Butterfly and Hummingbird Day – Now this is a day I can appreciate. Who doesn't love butterflies and hummingbirds. I could watch them flit around all day. Beautiful and graceful and only around at certain times of the year, see if you can spot one today.

National Caramel Custard Day – I never eat custard, although right now I can't think why. I absolutely love caramel so I'll have to give this a try today. Here’s a recipe you can try that looks pretty easy.

World Temperance Day – I didn’t know anything about this day for a long time. But I have finally found out that it is a day to fight alcoholism throughout the world. In some countries, liquor stores will be closed today and there will be ceremonies mourning those lost due to alcoholism and alcohol related deaths. But mostly it is a day to spread awareness of the dangers of regular alcohol use to the body in general and the liver in particular.

Look at the Leaves Day - Are the leaves changing near you? You won’t know unless you look, so take some time to look at the leaves today. Hopefully they are very colorful where you are and making the trees look beautiful instead of already all sitting on the ground waiting to be raked up.

National Family TV Show Day - This is a day to have some family time. There are those who believe that it would be a good idea to have this particular day at least once a week. Sit down with your family and watch a TV show together. It might spark an important opening to talk about your values on a multitude of issues.

National Techies Day - A hundred years ago a techie would have had a hard time finding a job. But these days, we can’t go a day without needing a techie to help us with at least one of the multitude of gadgets that we use every day. Make sure you thank your favorite techie today.
