Fickle Creatures

Today is Take Your Pants For a Walk Day! Perhaps a kinder, gentler way of saying "Get Your Butt In Shape", today is a day to go for a walk... with pants on... ON. That also means no skirts, dresses, shorts, tutus, or kilts.

Your pants need to work out too, after all. Their fitness is a little flipped compared to ours, though. When jeans seem to be getting tight around your waist, that means that you need to start working them out. The easiest way to do so is to simply wear them while you work out. After a while, you'll notice they stop becoming so needy and clinging to your hips all the time. That means that they are now ready to loosen up and be comfortable around the other articles of clothing in your closet. Of course, sometimes they become so free from your waist, that you simply have to let them go, lest they try to escape of their own accord at an inopportune moment.

Don't worry, though! You can go buy a new pair of pants and start working out with them! If you do so often enough, not only will your own physique become maintained, but you'll have helped many pairs of pants on their journey to comfiness. Soon, when you are in peak condition and have helped enough of pants-kind, they will bestow upon you a gift in the form of the perfect pair of pants. Be careful not to take it for granted, however, as they are known to start constricting those who take them for granted, and you have begin the cycle anew.

All In

Today is All or Nothing Day! Today is a day to put it all on the line! There is no scale of action today, but only the two distinct ends. Either you do all you possibly can to get all your work done and your needs fulfilled, or you don't even try.

There isn't any room for hesitation or neutrality today. No sir, that kind of thing gets you killed in a dog-eat-dog world. One false move and you're gone just because you didn't know when to fold 'em! Be extra careful out there today because all the celebrators of this holiday are going to seem unstoppable. Or very stoppable. If any situation arises, you look it dead in the eye and take it down by the scruff of it's neck. Or... y'know... not.

Sew Difficult

Today is Thread the Needle Day! While today could be interpreted as a day to sew something, the phrase "thread the needle" means to find your way through a seemingly difficult task. In case you haven't ever sewn anything before, I can tell you that getting the thread through the needle's eye (thats the lil' hole) is actually very difficult. It's also unfortunately pretty key to the whole project. If you can't get that done, then chances are you won't get much of anything sewn.

That scenario perfectly fits the phrase. Oftentimes, you may find yourself in a very difficult and potentially damaging situation if you were to slip up. Much like the needle's eye, when it's put close enough to your eye (please make sure its the right end of the needle) you can see everything through it. You know that once you get through that horribly difficult area, everything else becomes as easy as 1-2-3.

So if you are in such a scenario, just know that while it may be hard, you should not give up. Sewing is a very useful task and if nobody did it, we'd all be wearing clothes with holes in them. Also, if you are looking at this holiday in the literal sense (which I apparently am), it would super cool of you to sew my a shirt. I could always use more of them. I wear an Adult Small in most every kind of shirt. Just... FYI.
