Here's what I found out about today:First Foot Day
First Foot Day marks the beginning of the New Year and is said to bring luck. Go First Footing and wish everyone you know and care about a very Happy New Year.
 That said, HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!! Hope this year brings you everything you're hoping for - prosperity, good health, love, peace, success in your endeavors!!!  IP: Logged |

Hope y'all were nice to people whose first names start with the letter 'Z', if not everyone:Z Day

Get out the Beano for tomorrow's celebration - it's "Bean Day"!! How about trying to include at least A dish that has beans of some sort in one of your meals? On second thought, you could pay homage to the beans that gave you your morning coffee, pop a few jelly beans, or catch an episode of Mr. Bean..     IP: Logged |

I'm looking forward to National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day. I love puddles. I'll even swerve or change lanes when I'm driving to drive through the puddles. LOL IP: Logged |

Happy Old Rock Day!!!'zala, when I first saw it on the list for this month's holidays, I thought 'old rock' referred to things such as this 3.9 billion year old one the guy's grinning about, or the 4.5 billion year old one below that:   But, I must admit, it makes more sense to honor old rock music on this day!  Throw on a mullet wig, play some air guitar, and engage in some head-banging, if you'd like to participate... (I make no promises about mine)   IP: Logged |

Solane, LOL.. I didn't think that was your bf, but now it begs the question - what does your bf look like? Hmmm.. speaking of which, have we seen a picture of you yet?? If so, I'll have to go find it, to see the woman who's so exuberant and full of infectious enthusiasm she brings to the site!  Eighth, I love the ones at Despair.com too - especially the ones for Achievement, Apathy (i deal with customers all the time, and have some particularly difficult, demanding ones, so i'm diggin' this one!), Compromise, Conformity, Do It Later (totally my motto!), Flattery, GOals, Individuality, Persistence - gosh, I love a good number of them!!

Oh, and Happy Man Watchers' Day!! Hope y'all got to celebrate this. I didn't get to see my favorite man today, so I'll have to postpone my celebration for another couple days until I see him!  Actually, if i'd had a pair of those, I might've been able to see him today, lol!  Here's what a professional man-watcher looks like, lol!  IP: Logged |

 ON THE SECOND DAY, GOD CREATED MAN........A Story of Creation On the first day of creation, God created the cat.
On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.
On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.
On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labour for the good of the cat.
On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might or might not play with it.
On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.
On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but he had to scoop the litter box.
