Messing about with empathy
It’s a day for pranks and hoaxes. I always try to stay home and avoid the internet on April 1, that way I don’t end up the recipient of a prank or hoax. Of course, this year, we’re all staying home. April Fools!!! There will, of course, be a lot of online pranking, so beware.…
Today is National Wear Your Ears Day. This is intended for everyone to wear their Mickey or Minnie Ears and share your happiness on social media. I don’t usually wear Mickey ears on headbands because I’ve never found one that didn’t give me a headache. However, I do love the look. The best part is…
I had to buy the book, but after months of waiting, I finally have it. I can’t tell you what I’m reading because I’m sending it on to someone who reads this blog (so no spoilers,) but if you’ve paid attention to other days when I’ve been closed for reading you’ll know what it is. …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. If you want to spruce up your house with a bit of green for the holiday, check out these fun and easy crafts from Country Living. I am fond of the wreath and the coloring page, but there is something for all ages and crafting abilities. This is the perfect time for crafting.…
Yep, St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. I’m not a fan of corned beef, but I love Irish soda bread. It’s so easy to make and tastes delicious. I often wonder why I only make it in March, but the reason is probably the same as why I only make fudge at Christmas. I’d eat too…
Poor Caesar. I like ides, because lots of months have them. Ides means the middle of the month. Today is the famous one. Remember, no matter what happens with the coronavirus, at least we are not being betrayed and killed by our friends. At least, I hope not. I was going to share some quotes…
Happy Pi Day!!! I’m running 5 miles today, but if I had planned it better, I’d run 3.14 miles. Darn, training plan. However, I’ll celebrate in other ways, like making Irish soda bread (it has a circumference!) If you listened to the Footle and Grok podcast yesterday (I’d love for you to subscribe), you learned…
Happy Friday the 13th. I’m going to keep this short because I have to pet my black kitties and walk under a few ladders in honor of this superstitious day. You’ve probably heard from a lot of people that you should wash your hands often for 20 seconds. Well, if you are curious about how…
It’s Popcorn Lover’s Day! This is not to be confused with National Popcorn Day, which is in January. Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks, and my go-to treat when I’m at the Disney parks. I don’t like liquid butter on my popcorn, so I skip movie popcorn, but my favorite popcorn is found at…
Said no one ever. Well, Grammar Girl probably said it some time, but the average person, even most writers, don’t like grammar. For most people, it brings back horrible memories of diagramming sentences in school (hopefully, they don’t teach that any more.) But grammar is important, and something that we should all learn because good…
