Love Your Robot! Change Your Name! Take Your Houseplants For A Walk!
I almost forgot that today is "Love Your Robot Day"! I had no idea, just wandering around aimlessly, eating terrible Chinese food and generally making a nuisance of myself. If I actually owned a robot, I am quite sure that I would harbor feelings of love for it, especially if it washed my dishes and did my taxes. I really should have been out celebrating, throwing confetti, wearing a festive lampshade and drinking something with tiny umbrellas; instead of which, I've been throwing dirty clothes in the hamper, wearing slippers and drinking apple juice-with-no-umbrellas.
I also missed "Disaster Day" on February 5th, which is really quite surprising.
February 13th is coming up, though. That's "Get a Different Name Day", so I've decided that everyone can start calling me Charlotte.
"National Sea Monkey Day" is on February 15th. I accidentally killed my last batch of Sea Monkeys, so I think I'll give this one a pass.
March 3rd? How could you forget? That's "What if Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day"!
Other Notable Holidays:
January 7 — "I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore Day"
January 22 — "Answer Your Cat's Question Day" (do we really want to know?)
March 15 — "Everything You Think Is Wrong Day" (I thought this was every day!)
March 30 — "I Am In Control Day" (I thought this was every day too)
April 4 — "Tell-a-Lie Day" (I will celebrate with gusto)
July 10 — "Don't Step on A Bee Day"
August 18 — "Bad Poetry Day"
September 5 — "Be Late For Something Day"
October 30 - "Haunted Refrigerator Day"
November 20 - "Name your PC Day" (Edgar P. Thompson)
*** And don't forget to mark your calendars for "Take Your Houseplants For a Walk Day" on July 27th!

Ok L, what is your source for these holidays?!? I've got to know!

Dammit. Why'd those stupid cats and dogs have to have there opposable thumb wish-a-thon on my birthday!
(That was my subtle way of telling you that March 3rd is my birthday. A list of suggested gifts will be mailed to you shortly).
I'm getting all geared up for March 3rd. Everything is going along swimmingly, I just need to keep my dog from chewing on the transplanted thumb that I stapled to her this evening.
It's tough being me, I tell ya.
Charlotte,
Do you think it's wise to change one's name on the day before Valentine's Day?
Frally: I will try to think of something appropriate for your birthday ;)
Larry: I am mostly boycotting Valentine's Day
Jodster: I NEVER miss "Talk Like a Pirate Day"-- I celebrate every year!
You forgot the following:
February 26 - Get drunk and watch the crazy bride make an ass out of herself day
March 5 - Get drunk and wear a big hat day
Two days that will surely go down in the official "Stupid days that don't mean anything to anyone else" book.
