How many parents and teachers have reminded youngsters not to stick out their tongues? Maybe sticking out one’s tongue is rude for 364 days of the year, but this facial expression is much more commonplace on July 19th.
Just say, “Ah-ah!” July 19th is Stick Out Your Tongue Day.

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.

All is Ours Day is is bound to be a spectacular day for…… us.
Think of the concept. Imagine the possibilities. The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. What a great day this will be.
The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. Let’s dissect the meaning and intent of this great day. We will do so by examining the title of this day, word for word. It begins with the word “all”. For such a little word, it’s all-inclusive. From a possessive standpoint, therefore, we are talking about anything and everything we want.. The verb “is” is sort, sweet and definite. It leaves no room for doubt or question.
Finally, the creator chose the word “our” rather than the word “mine” This is a vital decision allowing us to completely enjoy today. The greatest events, and the best things in life, are those that are shared. The only thing the creator left out is the definition of who “Ours” represents. That is left up to you.

Puzzles
Why don’t we do puzzles with our kids any more? What better way to spend time together as a family. I remember doing puzzles as a kid. Mom, my brother and I would sit at the dining room table on those cold January and February days and spend hours working on a puzzle. (OK, it seemed like hours.) We used the dining room table so that if we didn’t finish in one sitting we could continue the next day without disturbing it. When we did finish the puzzle, we could enjoy it’s beauty for a while. Sometimes my sisters would try to help by standing on a chair and place the colorful pieces into their mouths. They wouldn’t eat carrots, but puzzle pieces were apparently delicious. Puzzles have always reminded me of my Mom. I can remember how she enjoyed sitting down and quietly trying to put one together. Maybe that’s why she enjoyed puzzles, “quiet”. With four children, she may have needed quiet every once in a while.
Make today a puzzle day. You and your family will enjoy the “quiet” time together.

I thought I would share my favorite chocolate cake recipe with you. My Mom used to make this cake for me on my birthday, and now my wife (Kathy) continues this yummy tradition. Try it out, it’s very simple and very chocolaty.

National Blonde Brownie Day is a special day that is set aside to bake and eat blonde brownies.
What’s a blonde brownie, you ask? Well, as their name implies, traditional brownies are a dark brown. To make blonde brownies, light brown sugar is used in the recipe in place of dark brown chocolate.
On National Blonde Brownie Day, its your right and responsibility to bake blonde brownies, and to eat them. If you don’t have time to bake today, buy some and eat a few extra blonde brownies.
Note: The use of nuts and frostng on your brownies is optional.
Origin of National Blonde Brownie Day:
Our extensive research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. Perhaps it was someone who wanted a different colored brownie. Perhaps it was a food company. We may never know.
If we ever find the originator, we have one question to ask: “Just what was wrong with regular brownies!?!”

National Hug Day
For some reason, January 21 has become an annual national hugging holiday. The official “National Hugging Day” site — at least, the closest thing we can find to an official site — credits a reverend from Michigan with starting the occasion.
Squirrel Appreciation Day
On the other end of the spectrum, Squirrel Appreciation Day — also, apparently, falling on every January 21st — is “an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate your tree climbing, nut gathering neighborhood squirrels,” according to the folks at Holiday Insights. So how does one properly “enjoy” them?
“Celebration of the event itself is up to the individual or group — anything from putting out extra food for the squirrels to learning something new about the species,” Christy Hargrove, the woman with the distinctive honor of founding Squirrel Appreciation Day, explains.
Hargrove seemingly started the holiday back in 2001. She’s a wildlife worker from North Carolina.
We think hugging a squirrel would be a great way to bring today’s two traditions together. If you want to be more traditional, though, you can check out this guide to recommended squirrel honoring activities.

About Penguin Awareness Day:
Penguin Awareness Day, and World Penguin Day are great opportunities to learn about and appreciate one of the few natives of Antarctica. On these days, spend a little time learning about them…. a pictorial book or internet site is fun. You can also watch a documentary of these cute and popular, grounded birds.
These days are also a time to wear black and white—penguin colors. However, wearing a tuxedo in their honor is optional. It is also popular today to tell a penguin joke or two.
