Sounds like Smokey got out of bed on the wrong side there! ROFL

May 3 is . . . . . Lumpy Rug Day

So how do we celebrate this holiday? Does that mean we have to go out and find one? Or get rid of the ones we might have?

LOL, goatgirl! I was shocked about Smokey's 'tude, until I realized it's Bruno Bear (his belt says so) - never heard of Bruno, and now I realize that it's probably for a reason, lol!

Here's what I found out about Lumpy Rug day:

"When: Always on May 3rd

Lumpy Rug Day is intended to appreciate a good rug. A rug should be smooth, even, and definitely not lumpy. Many of us stretch out on a rug to watch TV, play games, and even catch 40 winks. If the rug is lumpy, you'll know it.

There are a number of ways to enjoy Lumpy Rug Day:

If you have a lumpy rug, toss it out and get a nice, lump-less rug.
If you once had a lumpy rug, take a minute to remember the soft, comfortable feel of the new rug when it arrived.
If you never had a lumpy rug, count your blessings. You don't know what you're missing."

What I really can't wait to celebrate this month, is "Better Sleep"... I've been so sleep-deprived lately!

Doesn't this look inviting?...

For women only?:
