Painful Puddles

January 11th is Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day. It is an unfortunately placed holiday as all puddles today are frozen solid, and throwing an ice puddle at a friend is a delicate art that requires a certain elegant touch in order to not hurt your friend. However, the day is simply a day to enjoy the many ways in which you can have a little fun at the slight expense of some friends. A "Prank Day", if you will. I love this idea. Most of my pranks are done on the battleground of the mind, and less so on the realm of the physical. A little more Jim Halpert and a little less Larry, Curly, Moe. Feel free to celebrate today in whatever form or fashion of light hearted pranks suits you, and please keep it clean. Especially if you are at work today. No reason to get fired over it.

I Can Be Your Friend

It is Monday January 10th, and I am feeling the Monday lazies. It doesn't help that there is snow outside and to go out I would have to get dressed up in layers that will become too warm once I come back in, and I'll have to keep changing as I go in and out. Luckily, today's holiday doesn't really involve going out. It could, but it doesn't. It's Peculiar People Day today and that means it's time to celebrate the oddities in the weirdos in your life. If you are anything like me, then you have already amassed quite a collection of peculiar people in you life, and have yourself already developed into a fairly odd person if you were to really evaluate yourself and compare to the popular social definition of 'normal'. I plan on finding some time today to send out some personally tailored e-mails, texts, and such to let the peculiar people in my life know that their peculiarities are in fact appreciated. There are many ways this holiday can be celebrated, and I encourage you to come up with creative ways to do it. I'll be trying to think of something, too, but right now it's cold outside and not even 9 a.m. on a Monday, so I'll have to wait for the other half of my brain to wake up.

Shoes to Fill

Today is January 9th, and it's snowing outside for the first time this year. The holiday today is Play God Day. When I first saw the name, I of course thought I would go out and buy an ant farm or play The Sims 3 all day. The actual celebration of the day is done by doing to others whatever God would. This is something I try to do often as is, but something I will admittedly never perfect. So today shall be a day to go into the bible and work on becoming better at it. I actually find it pretty cool that such a holiday exists.

By the way, here is a picture of the puppy I got in celebration of National Joygerm Day.
