How are you all feeling after celebrating St. Patrick’s Day yesterday? A little hungover? A little, dare I say, green? Well, you may want to pass on celebrating Sloppy Joe Day today, but there are plenty of other holidays for you to celebrate this week.
Monday, March 18th:
National Awkward Moments Day
AKA most of my life.
National Biodiesel Day
I’m always confused – is this better or worse for the environment?
National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day
OMG, I love a good oatmeal cookie.
National Sloppy Joe Day
Fun fact: I’ve never had a Sloppy Joe. Am I missing out?
National Supreme Sacrifice Day
From NationalDayCalendar:
This day honors those that have made tremendous sacrifices for the sake and the good of others as well as those who sacrifice their lives every day for us.
We may most readily call to mind the men and women in uniform who have laid down their lives protecting their country and communities. This day also honors those who may have stepped forward during times of crisis to rescue a stranger or a neighbor and gave the supreme sacrifice that day.
These sacrifices don’t always come in uniform and are often unsung.
Goddess of Fertility Day
Shoutout to Venus. The goddess, not the planet.
Tuesday, March 19th:
National Certified Nurses Day
We love our resident doctor, Crick Watson MD, but everyone knows its nurses who get shit done.
National Chocolate Caramel Day
I’d murder someone for chocolate right now.
National Let’s Laugh Day
That’s why The Clock Out exists!
National Poultry Day
This may be unpopular, but I prefer turkey over chicken in my poultry choices.
World Social Work Day
These people are fucking heroes.
Tea for Two Tuesday
I love tea. My favorite? Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice. #notspon but would accept #spon.
