Beverage Day
I used to be a boozy girl. Given a choice, I would choose the cocktail. My mother tells a story of me going around a party during my first New Year’s Eve on this earth and dipping my pacifier in … Continue reading
Melanoma Day
Growing up, my dad was always the one who burned to a crisp if he spent any time outdoors. It seems odd, then, that he never got any kind of skin cancer. My mother’s family, on the other hand … … Continue reading

45s Day

Oatmeal Cookie Day
Today is also Honesty Day, when you’re supposed to answer all questions honestly. So here’s the truth: I like oatmeal cookies. I really like them with chocolate chips (but not raisins, which is not the oatmeal’s fault). But I never … Continue reading
We Jump the World Day
To me, this is an unfortunate name. Getting jumped is a bad thing. Jumping the world? Good chance someone will retaliate. (Or everyone ends up electrocuted, if you are of a more automotive-minded nature.) That’s not what it means, though. … Continue reading
Cubicle Day
I have worked in any number of spaces, working my way up to the office-esque gold standard of an office with a door I could close. Concession stands, cashier stations, copydesk bullpens, and cubicles, pretty much in that order. (I … Continue reading
