Let’s just throw off the last two days in August and ring in Sept. 1 with Emma M. Nutt Day. Ms. Nutt was the first telephone operator in America. Working for a whopping $3 a day, she gave new meaning to the phrase, “what city, please?” She held the job for 33 years. As a tribute to Ms. Nutt, let’s reminisce with a little Lily Tomlin humor: This date is also Calendar Adjustment Day, followed by … Read entire article »

Let’s jump right in to this week’s holidays with August 15, which heralds National Relaxation Day. Again, the term “national” should give you an indication of just how serious they are about this one. I wonder if relaxation in the 21st century may sound easier than it actually is. It’s my experience that even when I’m relaxing, the wheels of my mind continue to spin. I suspect it’s fairly rare that I achieve a … Read entire article »

Let’s get serious for just a minute. How many times have you read “Palooza” and thought, “this is about food, plain and simple. All these people ever do is eat – or look for an excuse to eat.” Think about it! I don’t think even one week goes by without some mention of food. Most of it chocolate-y. I will likely quit writing when chocolate covered ants are given their own day. I’m just sayin’… Meanwhile, we … Read entire article »

Here’s a shocker for ya as we begin another week of sometimes lame, sometimes idiotic, but always eye-rolling holidays: August 24 is National Waffle Day. More food. I must admit kind of liking this one, though. We don’t get much breakfast food on the list of bizarre holidays. I also like it because I have a waffle iron. Really! I’ve even been known to use it, before! These days, though, I’m a toaster waffle girl, primarily because … Read entire article »

Well, I’m pretty bored with most of this week’s holidays. Not that there aren’t any – just that they’re pretty standard fare. I like the weird and wacky ones. Luckily for us all, we’ve got a few of those, too. I will deem these most important for celebratory purposes. If you want to commemorate any of the others that land this week, you’re on your own. That being said, let’s jump right in with our first … Read entire article »

Have you offended anyone lately? Been the troublemaker in the family? Have you been spreading general havoc? If so, there’s no better day to change your ways than on July 25, as we celebrate National Get out of the Doghouse Day. Even for those of you prone to that perpetual angelic state of being, you’d have to admit the best way to celebrate is by doing something you know is off limits, knowing that since it’s … Read entire article »

Welcome to another week of party central! Let’s get things rolling with Toss Away the Could Have’s and Should Have’s Day, which lands on July 19. I suspect we all have our lists of things we should’ve or could’ve done, but for whatever reasons, we didn’t do ‘em. So today is your day to forgive, forget and move on. National Get out of the Doghouse Day is this day as well. I hope none of … Read entire article »

Ever wonder how the dictionary defines the term “geek”? Looking at the first definition according to Merriam-Webster, a geek is “a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake”. If that’s true, I’ve been misusing the term for years. Moving through the other definitions, the word is also defined as an intelligent-type/not-well liked (enter black square-framed glasses taped in the middle.) Last in … Read entire article »

Let’s start the week off with what I consider a real doozy of a holiday on June 27: Decide To Be Married Day. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean if you’re single, you can decide to be married, and, poof, you are? Does it mean if you are already married, and experiencing a bit of turbulence that you make a conscious choice to stay married anyway and wallow in your misery? I suppose … Read entire article »
