Hoodie wha?

Today is Hoodie Hoo Day. A holiday I pretty much had to research, for reasons I am hoping are obvious unless I'm just the only one who thinks that those words together or separate make no sense. Today is a day that celebrators of Hoodie Hoo Day will step out of whatever building they are in at noon, brandish their hands above their head, and yell "HOODIE HOO!" in an effort to scare winter away. I'm assuming this holiday was made in the north, because here in the south, there really isn't much need to scare winter away. It comes late and leaves early. However, I will go outside in about 30 minutes or so to take part in what I can only assume is a grand tradition passed down generations of meteorologists. Better do some stretching first if I'm gonna do any real winter scaring.

Rich and Fresh

Today is Chocolate Mint Day! As all self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseurs will say, mint is one of the best additions to chocolate that has ever been created. It's right up there with peanut butter, real fruit (dipped), and more chocolate. There is a wide array of chocolaty mints and minty chocolates and all of them are being celebrated today. There are Andes Mints, which were among my first chocolate mint concoctions that I have ever eaten, along with the class mint chocolate chip ice cream, and mint chocolate cake. Literally any combination is fair game today. Eat as much of it as you want. On a diet? Not today, it's Chocolate Mint Day. There are even actual chocolate mint mints! I don't know if they do anything for your breath aside from making it smell like dessert, but they probably taste great and you'll eat them like candy because, let's face it, that's what they are. Even Extra Gum has a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream flavoured gum. It's everywhere people. Easy and fun day to celebrate so let's get out there!

Going and Going and Going

Today is Battery Day, and I'm so pumped about about it! I'm feeling better! Recharged and ready to finally spend a day celebrating a day in the way it was meant to be. Everyone knows what a battery is. If you don't, I would say you've been living under a rock, but ancient Romans had them, too, so there is really no excuse. Batteries play a key part in our day to day lives and I originally planned to give them the day off today, but I can't! I have to use my car's battery to get places. As for my phone, camera, and laptop? ... Yes I could live without them for a day. However, I then got over my sickness and thought "HEY! I just got a whole new re-energized feel for today just like I got new batteries for me!" So I'm going to spend today testing them out. I know for a fact that some people have some work that they wanted me to do, so I'm going to go do it. So today, in honor of all the things batteries help me do, I will be a living battery that helps other people do things! Here I go!
