So it's March. Spring hasn't yet sprung. The days are still pretty gray. And worst of all this is the weekend we lose an hour of our lives. That's a lot of reasons to mope. . . unless you happen to be a reader of Writer Off the Leash because shazam! See all that glittery fairy dust in the air? There are LOTS of things to celebrate over the next few days.


National Worship of Tools Day
Grab a screwdriver, a jackhammer, or whatever tool strikes your fancy and get yourself over to the nearest church. Okay, so maybe not, but at least go ogle your toolbox out in the garage.

National Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day
You think I make this stuff up? Nope. I don't have to. Oh yeah, and pass the syrup, would ya?

National Johnny Appleseed Day
This is the only fruit I eat. I kid you not. So I just might bite into a honeycrisp in honor of this day.

National Promposal Day
Love is definitely in the air, even if this isn't Paris. Today's the day teens all around America outdo themselves in creative ways to ask out their date for prom.


National Girl Scout Day
Go ahead. Buy a box of their cookies and eat the whole thing in one sitting. What better way to celebrate Girl Scout Day?

National Plant a Flower Day
I would but it just might snow here in the frozen tundra.

National Baked Scallops Day
Umm. . . no. Not a fan. You can have my serving.


National Good Samaritan Day
Go on. Do a good deed today.

National Coconut Torte Day
Remember how I let you eat all my scallops yesterday? Well today I'm cashing in on that little favor by chowing down your share of the torte.

National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day
Here's a thought. . . maybe make sure there's nothing breakable around before you celebrate this one.

National Earmuff Day
Why isn't this one in January when it's super cold outside?

National Jewel Day
No, the ring you found in the Cracker Jack box doesn't count. Go out and buy yourself some earrings at Target, cheapo.
