I am not sure this day is necessary. I’ve only been doing this for a couple of months, but I’ve already encountered more ridiculous holidays than I would have imagined, and some that are more ridiculous than I could ever come up with.  But I gave it a go and came up with 3 that did not show up on Google:

National Breakfast Anytime Day: In honor of my husband’s favorite kind of restaurants, where you can get eggs over medium and bacon no matter what time it is. This day should be celebrated at the beginning of daylight saving time when you lose an hour in the morning and show up for breakfast at 9 when you think it’s 8.

National Get Lost Day: This needs a better name, because I don’t mean it like “GTFOH,” I mean it like “go off the grid.” In the early days of my courtship and marriage, our best dates involved getting in the car and just striking out in some direction with no plan or destination. We just sort of took back roads and looked at scenery and ate when we got hungry and found our way home. That last bit got a lot less fun—but also less nerve-wracking—with the advent of GPS, but it’s still one of my favorite ways to kill an afternoon. Just keep an eye on your gas tank. This should be on the longest day of the year so you have lots of time to know which way west is just by looking at the sun.

And because this is me… one gross one:

National Cat Barf Day: In honor of all the times you have woken up at 3 a.m. to that unmistakable sound and wondered if you’re going to find the outcome on your bedspread, your oriental rug, or the kitchen counter, and to commemorate the early days of cat ownership where you’re still figuring out if hairballs are cause for concern or just the cost of doing cat business. (For what it’s worth, here is a useful guide to various purge types and what they generally mean:  https://www.purina.com/articles/cat/health/digestion/types-of-cat-vomit)

Your turn! Make up a holiday! If it’s one I would be willing to celebrate, I’ll send you a book! (I set a low bar, folks. Give it a shot!)
