Random Holidays

did u know like everyday is a holiday or somekinda day of recognition or observance? yep, it is! calendars and sites like https://www.checkiday.com are very helpful in reminding what holiday it is. like there was World Frog Day recently (March 20th) and it was Peanut Butter and Jelly Day just the other day (April 2nd).

and guess what today, April 4th is? it's a day to celebrate our little furry friends and our Squamata pals fav foods. that's right, it's World Rat Day!

thank u rats!

It is indeed. I just got out of work, and since one of our restaurants is a burrito joint, I couldn't say no. I had a beast of a barbacoa (braised beef) burrito. I threw some brown rice, pinto beans, queso, roasted peppers and onions, spinach, corn salsa and guac in spinach wrap. Soooooooo not helping with my "diet" (I'm just trying to eat better, not really "dieting"), but I've lost over 30 lbs since January and it was NATIONAL burrito day. So I had to.
....WORTH IT!!! :D

A) good on you for all the weight loss; no easy feat
B) that sounds amazing.

Thanks, I blew up over the course of about 2 years. I hit 250 lbs and turned 40 right around the same time, and something just clicked. I'm 5'8" and was 180 two years ago. I'm no puppy dog anymore. It was time to start taking better care of myself.
So I changed the way I snack. Instead of cookies, chips, Doritos and ice cream I eat fruit. I'm on a hummus kick too. And as far as meals, I've just been a bit better, nothing strict, just not so much crap for dinner. I have a smoothie in the morning and I've been walking since winter is behind us.
I already feel so much better. I'm hoping to get back under 200.

That’s awesome.. keep it up!

Happy National Velociraptor Awareness Day!

Or is it Merry National Velociraptor Awareness Day? Who knows!

On Friday, I stopped in at the local big box grocery store to pick up a package of National Velociraptor Awareness Day Greeting Cards to send out with pictures of me and my chihuahua, Sigmund Freud Justice, in ugly National Velociraptor Awareness Day Sweaters. You know, like people usually do for this holiday.

Shockingly, it was brought to my attention by an employee named "Teresa" that no such holiday exists. Whoa, Teresa! Hold your horses! Facebook, HowStuffWorks.com, and I beg to differ! It's on April 18th!

National Velociraptor Awareness Day may not be a federal or religious holiday, and Hallmark refuses to give it "Hallmark Holiday" status. But one thing is sure. Velociraptors are awesome, and we should be aware of them. What other dinosaur has a roller-coaster pseudo-named after it? Magical Liopleurodon, eat your heart out!

In addition to writing a letter to Hallmark and my local congress-person regarding the holiday, I have compiled ten Velociraptor facts/misconceptions to spread awareness of this reptilian celebrity from the late Cretaceous era: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/big-...eness-day.html
