rantings & ramblings
It’s Chocolate Day! There’s all kinds of chocolate: baking, semi-sweet, milk, dark, bittersweet – but while there is a time and place for white chocolate, it’s an imposter and does not belong on a list of chocolates. I like Left Twix and Kinder Schokolade; how about you?
It’s International Cherry Pit Spitting Day! Or, as the Germans say: Tage des Kirschkernspucken. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or trying it for the first time, it’s all about pitting your spitting skills in friendly competition. Find some cherries; let the games begin!
Have you ever tried spitting a cherry pit? Let me know in the comments!
It’s Mechanical Pencil Day! Always on point and never needing a sharpener, give three clicks (no more; no less) for the writing tool that says, “Lead the way!”
* it’s graphite, I know
** for pencils, the black Ticonderoga #2 is superior
*** I prefer the Sharpie Roller 0.5 for writing, overall
It’s National Country Music Day: from Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash to Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and the Chicks, to Kacey Musgraves and Niko Moon, rosin up that bow and play that golden fiddle with themes of love and love and loss and friends and drinks and revenge.
Who’s your favorite country music artist or what’s your favorite country song? Let me know in the comments!
Compliment Your Mirror Day! Whether it’s full-length, compact, or rearview, take a moment to look in the mirror (you handsome devil, you) and appreciate your unique beauty. To everyone out there: you’re amazing just the way you are!
And to any Lasombra vampires out there, this is true for you, too.
Happy “I Forgot” Day! Embrace all those moments when our minds just blank out. Forgot to reply to that email? Missed a friend’s birthday? No worries! Laugh off the slip-ups and remind yourself it’s okay to forget sometimes. And if there’s some thing you’d like to forget, today’s the day to do it!
What did I forget to do recently? I forgot to hit publish on my Saturday post, ruining my almost 80-Day Posting Streak.
