Wives & Sandwiches

Today is a pretty hilarious combo of days, if I do say so myself. It's right up there with the "Sock" days from May. No doubt many of you will crack some jokes at today's coincidental (?) celebration combination. I count myself in that number of people as well.



Today's first holiday is Housewives' Day! A holiday created to acknowledge and celebrate all the hard work that a wife does to make a house into a home. What better way to acknowledge all that work by taking it on yourself to do it instead? Although, you might do it wrong and she'll just have to fix it later, I'm sure the gesture will be appreciated. I mean it seems pretty easy when you do it, but you don't realize that they also do it every day! And the kid isn't as easy to deal with as you'd think when you're with them all day! And boy oh boy does hilarity ensue when you forget your daughter at ballet practice. At least that's what sitcoms paint this picture to be like. (Author's note: I'm not married)



Today is also Sandwich Day! Sandwiches are the best thing since sliced bread. In fact, without sliced bread, there wouldn't be such a thing. Luckily for humans, we have someone to thank: John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. While the concept belongs to him, the inventor was his servant, who was told to put meat between bread and deliver it to him while he was gambling. That way, he had one hand to hold his meal in, and one hand to hold his hand in. He also did other things in his time as the Earl, but... I mean you really can't beat coming up with the idea for sandwich.

R.I.P.

Today is Plan Your Epitaph Day! You might be thinking "Well, that's a little morbid, isn't it?". Well, I disagree. I think it's pretty important to have something so set in stone (haha) planned in advance. Besides, your planning the epitaph, not the actual death. Which WOULD be morbid. These are the few words that will instigate a specific image of you to your loved ones that you out-live, and it will tell what strangers see your grave what very little they will know about you. If I were to pick something I want my grace to say, it would either be something original and memorable. "Traveled the world, off to another one." ... I want to travel the world. I'll hire a writer for it, though because that was kind of cheesy.

I'll Stick To Salt

Today is National Vinegar Day! I'm not the biggest fan of vinegar. In fact I'm probably an average non-fan of vinegar. Something about it's overpowering odor and taste just really turn my tastes buds off. Or it makes them wish they could anyway. It overpowers the flavors of whatever it's on, and that, to me, is just a horrible thing to do. In the spirit, though, I will force down some chips with vinegar. Wish I had french fries to work with, but hey you can't always get what ya want. But if you try sometimes. Well you just might find... vinegar is just as bad a you remember it being.
