Needed national days


  1. National Alligator Day. Alligators are only indigenous to the US and China so we really should celebrate them.
  2. National Time Capsule Day. Either bury one or dig one up, both would be fun!
  3. National Take a Nap Day. Ideally, this would actually be once a week, but naps are magical and should be honored.
  4. National Tidy Day. Wouldn't it be great if you had a day off to just do all that tidying that you'd love to do?
  5. National Baby Animal Day. Why stop at puppies? Plenty of animals are cute as babies.
  6. National Take a Photo Day. I feel like I see something new when I look at the world through a photographer's eye. It would be good for more people to at least try this.
  7. National Listen to One Song Day. Think you actually have a favorite song? TRY LISTENING IT FOR A WHOLE DAY! SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
  8. National Write a Thank You Note Day. Everyone has someone they should send a note to, but haven't, so take this day to do it!
  9. National Write a Letter Day. Everyone only gets spam mail, let's change that!
  10. National Coloring Day. Let's all take a break and just color for a bit. Could be good for destressing, but also some bonding.
  11. National Aunt Day. As I'm now an aunt, I'd like to have a day :D
  12. National Belated Birthday Day. Did you miss someone's birthday? Of course you did. Let's just pick one day a year that we can celebrate all of those we missed. That way, you only have to remember one date.
  13. National Figure Out a New State Noun Day. Yeah you have a state bird, but do you have a state nail polish color? This could be the day to decide on the new noun your legislators need to 
  14. National Run and Scream Day. So a run and scream is where you stand in a line with people and then on the mark, you all start running and screaming and you run until you can't scream any more. Now this gets a lot of frustration out and, you know, there may be something in the news that just makes you want to scream.
  15. National Rewatch Your Favorite Kids' Movie Day. Remember that movie you loved as a kid? How good/bad/weird is it actually? You should rewatch it and find out.
  16. National Volunteer Day. For those who have the time, why don't you give some of it?
  17. National Bake Cookies Day. Just think how lovely every city would smell because of this.
  18. National Be a Tourist in Your City Day. Go do that thing that your city is known for, but that you've never done or go explore somewhere new.
  19. National New Mode of Transportation Day. Never been dog sledding? Try it! Never ridden a unicycle? Give it a whirl! Never invented a new kind of transportation? Invent away!
  20. National Glitter Day. The trick is that this would then become a glitter year because it would be EVERYWHERE.
  21. National Bold Fashion Day. Try something new today! Thought of doing drag? Work it! Wanted to wear a denim suit? Give it your all! Considered having bubble gum pink hair? Get that dye!
  22. National Relaxation Day. Get a message, meditate, nap, take a bubble bath, do whatever you need to recharge.
  23. National Hair Day. This has so many possibilities. You could get a new do, a new color, or even just a new hair brush.
  24. National Art Day. Just try some new art form today!
  25. National Stretch Day. Can you touch your toes? It's your goal for the day!

What days would you add?

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
