Great days. So many of them I’d like to make an every day thing. Especially the ice cream one.

I’m all over rainbow appreciation day. Appreciate yourself in a swimsuit day….I’ll work on that one.

I never really do much with your calendars, but they make me smile. So creative…

Great job on the calendar! I luv trying out some of the suggested activities, particularly when it involves food :) But those are some great creative ideas for those days when you just can’t think of anything fun to do–luv the 80s music appreciation day; I’m going to start digging up some good tunes and break out the old 80s dance moves.

Laura B.: Thanks for the holidays you told me about! :)
Churlita: Yeah the ice cream one should really be every day.
Suze: I’m working on the swimsuit one too – slowly but surely. :)
Manuel: Thank you, Manuel!
Eros: Sounds like you have a fun idea there with busting out the 80s dance tunes on that day! I sense that “The Robot” will be part of those moves. :D

Nice list! I really need to participate in these again.

I’m very much looking forward to the 26th!!

Well, I won’t be celebrating tomorrow’s holiday, but I see mine coming up on the 13th. Also, I have some 80’s music, maybe I’ll share some of that.

As it’s apt dwellers appreciation day, I’d like to say I like my apt’s location and maintenance people. I’m close to all the places I like and the staff is friendly and courteous. Also, I like having someone come fix stuff when it’s broken and do the landscaping for me. I almost feel like royalty :)

Free standing gates with no walls crack me up. I would be appreciative of finding a collection (or creating one myself) of gates that “guard” walkways with no walls to back them up.
How dumb would an intruder have to be to walk up to a walless gate and say, “Aw shucks. Guess I can’t get into this property.” ?
p.s. I appreciate ice cream… a lot. But I think it’s the pregnancy talking. :P

Dmarks: Thanks! Have fun with this list! I hope you do get to participate more!
Tim: Oh yeah, waffle appreciation day? I hope to honor that one too.
AlienCG: You should share some 80s music!
Eros: Your apartment pros sound so much like mine. Gotta love the maintenance people. For the most part they have been extremely helpful since I’ve been here.
K_sra: I’d prefer a dumb intruder who is confused by weird gates over a regular or intelligent intruder who knows all the tricks. The dumb intruders who are easily fooled are the ones who wind up on the show “Cops”. ;)
Pregnant or not, ice cream is a good holiday to celebrate.

You can sign me up for commit to more sleep day and desert snake appreciation! We have a king snake roaming about our yard, he eats the rattlers and scorpions. I like him.
Posted by Tara on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Seb: Oo, have you seen the king snake? Wow, I’d be afraid of roaming around in the dark with him nearby. But as long as he’s taking care of the other critters…
