This week’s blog challenge prompt is “Grab the days of the year calendar and pick at least ten to write about.” Just for fun, let’s look at the birthdays in my family.
- March 9: Barbie Day
- Pink is not a color we see her in often, but she is a woman we all look up to and admire!
- April 4: Tell A Lie Day
- I laughed at this one, because the person born on April 4th is known for not being able to tell a lie without it being immediately obvious. Fortunately, he has opted to stick with being truthful.
- June 1: Say Something Nice Day
- Does it count that he was infamous in the family for his “No Whining” sign? No, actually he was a big proponent of the adage “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”, and he reminded me often as a teenager that this also applied to writing when I kept getting busted for being snarky.
- June 14: Bourbon Day
- Pretty sure she won’t be partaking in this holiday, with parents who were both alcoholics.
- July 15: Gummi Worm Day
- OK, sure–guess next year we will celebrate with “worms in dirt” dessert.
- August 5: Work Like A Dog Day
- Well, he did like dogs, and he was constantly working on something in his mind or in practice; he was rarely idle.
- August 23: Ride Like The Wind Day
- Does it count that he used to run like the wind? He placed 3rd in the state track meet, which is impressive to me since I can’t run at all.
- September 26: Love Note Day
- Aww, how sweet–he actually did write our entire family notes of appreciation this summer and it was beautiful.
- December 16: Chocolate Covered Anything Day
- Gotta admit, this does fit–she loves anything dipped in chocolate. She is a fan of chocolate-dipped strawberries and marshmallows.
- December 20: Ugly Sweater Day
- This one is mine, and eh, sure–I don’t mind sweaters ugly or otherwise, as long as it is cold outside.
