So I take it that ‘The Christmas Story’ wasn’t just a story about Christmas but an homage to Prevent Blindness America happening in December.

What a great list. That last day seems like something I could really celebrate.

I too noticed all the food-based days. I might need to dedicate January to exercise…!

Can every day be cookie day?

Pure Evyl: Hi, thanks for visiting my blog!
Laura B: Not just any food, either. Good stuff like brownies and cookies!
Churlita: Oh yeah, I think I’ll be celebrating that one too.
Tim: You just gave me an idea for a theme for January’s calendar! Like…stair master day or elliptical appreciation day.
Dmarks: It should be, shouldn’t it?

I can’t believe I missed Summer Memorial Day! Today would have been appropriate since we reached a scorching 45 degrees here in Cleveland!
Also, I am waiting patiently for Brownie Eating Day. *drums fingers on table*
Also also, I am planning what wacky gift I can give Tara on the 19th. SO many choices!!! : )
