Happy Saxophone Day! "If you’ve never really taken the time to enjoy the beautiful music of this instrument, Saxophone Day is your time to indulge." Thinking of all of you who are dealing with trials and tribulations, and wishing you peace and comfort. Our troubles at the moment are minor in comparison. You know your day…

Happy Jellyfish Day! Philip joked that today should be Food Poisoning Day since yesterday was Men Make Dinner Day. I've known a lot of men who were really fine cooks... I just didn't marry one of them. My brother does a lot of the cooking at their house, and my best friend's husband was a cook in the Navy and did almost…

It's Men Make Dinner Day! Woohoo! Or maybe it depends on which man we're talking about. Philip is taking me out tonight instead. Becca - Ooh, sounds like you'll be eating well after your shopping trip! Philip is also a big fan of Hungry Man dinners... he buys the pork rib a lot. Yuck. Lenora - We don't have a dishwasher so…

Happy Go Cook For Your Pets Day! "On this day, as a responsible owner who wishes to repay your pet’s loyalty and affection, you are encouraged to ditch the usual tinned nonsense you insist on feeding your furry friend and instead cook up a culinary delight which will tickle their taste buds like nothing before." Frankly,…

It's Howl At The Moon Day! "Part time monstrous, part time noble, no other animal has been quite as controversial as the Wolf, but one thing remains constant throughout. Wolves are regularly shown as howling at the moon, and Howl at the Moon day is your opportunity to join them in their celebration of the wild." Heather -…

Happy International Artists Day! “International Artists Day honors those creative souls that will leave a record of today for the future that can’t be captured in history books.” I have such respect for artists… I’m not un-creative, but I don’t really see things the way an artist does. I’m so glad there are people who do!…

Good evening, all! Dodged a bullet at the dentist’s office this morning… I did shear off the back of a tooth, but it’s still in the enamel and there’s no immediate work needed. Put nearly $300 on the credit card, but I feel like I got off pretty easy, considering. Ay ay ay... End of the day confession: Tonight we had a…

No. Not even a little. I love my home state and it happens to be gorgeous in central Texas right now, but in general our climate sucks!

Happy United Nations Day! "In 1945 the foundational treaty of the United Nations came into effect, the United Nations is an intergovernmental organization intent on create co-operation between all the governments of the world. It’s original intent was to replace the League of Nations, and prevent another war like World War…

Evening, y’all - Heather – Hope you are able to hold back if you need to and enjoy your time with your friends. Felicia – The holidays lately have been making me think how much we’ve lost to our hectic consumer lifestyle. No costume ordered online could match the creativity of those homemade Halloween costumes put together…

Happy Mole Day! For any chemistry geeks out there, not the burrowing critter kind. Although I guess you could celebrate those too if you're into that... "Mole Day is celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m. It celebrates Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 1023), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry.…

Will the Bananas Foster diet let me skip the bananas and just have rum for breakfast?

Twilight time here – it’s so nice to just unwind at the end of the day. KJ – There might be a minor procedure or two I’d go for if money weren’t an object, but I don’t see the point in trying to turn back the clock. I wouldn’t mind getting rid of my little double chin – I’ve had it since I was a baby, and it’s always…

Happy Mulligan Day! "Give yourself a second chance on Mulligan Day. Whether it is a former relationship with a friend or loved one, an old hobby that you abandoned or a past mistake that needs rectifying, you can give it another go on Mulligan Day." Guess we all need a do-over now and then. Joyce - My Maine coon has a…

Hello again! My “morning” post was so late that I don’t have much more to say, but I’m checking in. Today’s workout extracted a price for my recent slacking. Nonetheless, I went up on all my weights. I’ll feel that in the morning but I got through it. I haven’t shopped or done a meal plan yet. As a result, I’ve been using…

Happy World Food Day - Today I'm reminding myself that while I struggle to eat fewer calories, there are people in the world who don't have enough to eat. Lisa - Your request to the universe is much like mine would be. I love our old house here in town, but a few acres would sure be nice. As for the Scouts... I'm a proud…

Today is World Sight Day. "World Sight Day is a special annual day of awareness that is celebrated around the world each year in order to focus on blindness and vision impairment. This day was created by the World Health Organization in collaboration with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness and…

Happy Coming Out Day! A day to remember that we are most beautiful when we let our light shine brightly. Reminds me of Bible school as a child, when we sang, "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Allie - Glad you're feeling better! It sounds like Tom and his lawyer deserve each other. Maybe they think they…

Happy World Post Day! Here in the U.S. the Post Office often gets a bad rap, but I think it's pretty remarkable what they accomplish. Allie - I'm glad to hear your condo is looking like a home! Marcelyn - Wow, 20 minutes of labor?! That baby was sure in a hurry. Some vacation for your sister! Machka - I moved over here…

Happy World Teachers Day! And to those of you who are, or were, teachers: Thank you! Machka - My parents may have been disappointed not to have their oldest child give them grandchildren, but my sister and brother took up the slack and Mom and Dad never gave me grief about my choice not to have them. My mother-in-law only…

Hi y'all! Terry – How exciting to be so close! I’m actually in just about the same place, with just under four pounds to go before I’m below that milestone. I’ll still have a long ways to go, but it will sure feel good to get under 200. Josephine – Maybe you needed a good cry! I tend to cry when I get angry… sometimes I…

Happy World Animal Day! "World Animal Day ... takes place on the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, October 4th. Started in 1931 in Italy, this annual celebration of all things furry is now a popular day in which we remember the important role that animals have to play in our world, as well as the people who devote their lives…

Good evening all! Janice – Welcome! I look forward to learning more about you! I’ve been known to indulge in an historical romance now and then… what fun to write them! Becca – Thank goodness for beans, right? I often reach for the dried beans when money is tight. Good thing Philip and I both like beans of all kinds. I…

Today is Virus Appreciation Day! I'll have to work on that one... Matchka - Your tulip photos are glorious! Reminds me of my mom... she always came home from vacation with flower photos. You'll definitely have some lovely wallpaper images! Rye - I always value what you have to say. Wishing you all a lovely day,…

Hello all - Ginger - “Hooked on a Feeling” sounds a lot better than “Let’s Talk Dirty In Hawaiian,” which my ridiculous brain decided to play on endless loop a couple of days ago! OregonMother – I think that pose would hurt my wrists, assuming I could even get into it. Sunaric – Just jump right in. Tell us a little bit…

Today is World Habitat Day! "When we hear the word habitat, we often think of places like the rainforest and broad open forests, the places that wild animals live and that are all too often endangered. Rarely do we consider that we ourselves are animals, and that we also have habitats, though mostly we call them homes.…

Happy Good Neighbor Day! Lenora - Yes, Joanna Gaines would be happy to see what's under my walls! And Chip would say "SHIP-lap, SHIP-lap" in one of his crazy voices. The house was built in 1938. At the time, homes in this area were built with shiplap walls and ceilings, then covered in wallpaper (even the ceilings). I…

Hello all - Wendy – Wow, that is a huge garden! How wonderful to have your own home-grown vegetables and honey. Terry – I’m glad your family members are OK. The devastation of Puerto Rico is heartbreaking… I can’t even imagine what it would be like to move forward after such massive damage. Rye et al. – The “knotty pine”…

Hey, y'all, today is our day - National Women's Health and Fitness Day! For our lovely friends who aren't in the U.S., it's your day too, in whatever nation you call home. Elaine - I can definitely sympathize. Sometimes it feels like we're losing the same five or ten pounds over and over again, doesn't it? Ginger - Lovely…
