Mayday! Mayday! Part 3

  

May 15 – Chocolate Chip Day. The perfect thing to add to almost any recipe where a sweet would be good. Cookies, pancakes, cakes, ice cream. And they even come in different flavors around holiday time.

May 16 – Wear Purple For Peace Day. Don’t know why “purple” and not some other color. I’ve always found the color blue to be very peaceful. Orange antagonizes me. Don’t wear orange!

May 17 – Pack Rat Day. I think most of us can identify with the statement, “I have too much stuff.” Where does it all come from? How did it pile up so fast? I do NOT watch any kind of hoarder show because it depresses the heck out of me, but I know I could easily get rid of a LOT and not miss it. But not books! I’m keeping my books!

May 18 – Visit Your Relatives Day. Marv and I come from small families. What few there were, were scattered. Too far away to visit easily. I wish my kids and my brother lived closer. I would love to be able to really visit more. Skype is just NOT the same!

May 19 – Frog Jumping Jubilee Day. I love frogs. I think they’re cute. I doubt that Pharaoh and the other Egyptians felt that way when it was raining down frogs, but otherwise I think they’re cute. Same with toads. Cute. Don’t judge me!

May 20 – Eliza Doolittle Day. My Fair Lady was an awesome movie! A real classic. I can watch that numerous times. Loved the music. I was crushed when I learned that Audrey Hepburn did NOT do the singing. But I forgive her. She was a great Eliza.

May 21 – National Memo Day. This needs a day of its own? Why? Take a memo and get back to me. Send it out in triplicate.
