Happy Toasted Marshmallow Day!!!!

 Toasted marshmallows are amazing!  We use them in s'mores, aannnndddd... Alright, that's all I can come up with, but without them, they aren't s'mores!  The perfect marshmallow is:

• Brown and crispy on the outside
• Semi-melted on the inside
• Sandwiched between chocolate and graham crackers

Some fun facts about marshmallows:

•  Marshmallows no longer contain mallow root sap, instead they contain gelatin
• Ancient Egyptians were the first people to enjoy a sticky, gooey treat now called marshmallows

Happy Toasted Marshmallow Day and don't forget to eat toasted marshmallow!!!!!

Happy National Dog Day!

This day is for all the dogs out there!!  My dog, King Leonidas (Nidas), is the best dog anyone could ask for.  He's 4 1/2 and loves to play and be petted. He loves chicken dog treats and waffles, but hates fruit.  He can crawl, sit and lay down on command, roll over, shake, high five, and if you say, "Excuse me Nidas" he will move out of your way!  He loves to be scratched under his chin, and hates water.  King Leonidas rules the neighborhood!!

Happy Kiss and Make-Up Day!

Now, I don't have a whole lot of information or tips about this day, but I can tell you that all you have to do is kiss and make-up with someone.  Whether it be over something small or something big, just make-up and stop fighting.  Another possible meaning of this day could be that it's all about kissing and make-up, but it's probably the first one.  Well, whatever this day is about, either put on some make-up and kiss your pillow, or kiss and make-up with someone you were fighting with.

Happy Thriftshop Day!

Thrift shops are shops where you can buy deeply discounted items.  Present day, thriftshops are better known as dollar stores or discount department stores.  The items may not be high quality, but sure are well priced.  Thrift stores are a great way to find what you need at low prices.  Some of the best known thrift shops are Dollar Tree, and $0.99 Store.  If you ever need an item fast and cheap,  go to a thrift shop,  you'll probably be able to find it at a low price!!!

Happy Tell a Joke Day

Jokes are a part of life, in my opinion.  We all tell jokes, whether they be bad jokes or good, we all say them hoping someone will think it's funny.  Here is one of my favorites:

• A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
  
  "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
  The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
  The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."
  
  A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
  "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

I myself am a blonde, I do not find this offensive because I know blondes aren't dumb.  If you take offense to this in any way, I apologize.

Happy Relaxation Day!!!!

Today, ironically, was very busy for me.  On top of softball practice, today was the first day of school.  Talk about crazy!  Any way, here are some tips to help you relax:

• Get a hot stone, aroma therapy massage
• Stay away from small children  (as cute as they are, you have to admit, they are pretty stressing)
• Do nothing
• Nap in a hammock
• Take a bubble bath
• Have a picnic

Think about what makes you happy.  Now go and relax!
