Tomorrow is National Popcorn Day.
I'd feel terrible if people didn't get an opportunity to celebrate because I failed to inform them of the opportunity!!! Popcorn, caramel corn, toffee popcorn, kettle corn, chocolate covered popcorn, cheesy popcorn...is there a bad kind out there?
Perhaps the day was invented to allow people a reason to finish the stale crumbs of those massive triple combo tins they received at Christmas. You know what I mean. You're employed. It wouldn't be Christmas if our office didn't receive about three of those by the close of the food-giving season.
I'm going to try to stay on top of these holidays. I have a new calendar that reminds me of such important things...but I didn't get the calendar out until this week, so I've already missed Trivia Day (probably would haven't done so great anyway), Bean Day (what's the point?), Bubble Bath Day (rats!), Peculiar People Day (probably celebrate that one every day), Dress Up Your Feet Day (it was a Sunday, so chances are I caught that one by default), Penguin Awareness Day (I am aware of penguins), National Hugging Day (also a Sunday, so I'm sure I covered that one during greeting time in the morning service), Measure Your Feet Day (WHY? They're huge enough by sight alone), Opposite Day (still pondering this one), and Kazoo Day (thankfully). I'll try to do a better job in February.

But until then - Happy National Popcorn Day! Wonder if anyone gets the day off for this?

SWEET! I can't wait for national popcorn day, i wonder if I should lobby to get this day off?
Thanks for the reminder, please don't let me forget national chocolate day!
oh i so don't even know when national chocolate day is!!!!!!!!! I must find out. THAT is one I have to observe!!!!
I think you should lobby for a paid holiday and then let me know how you did it so I can do it too.
FYI there are ten days in February. Holidays. Not DAYS days.
This is good to know, Bekah. Especially because I LOVE popcorn too. Sorry I have been pretty non-existent in blog world lately. I jave just been trying to "survive" the real world.
Also, can we reschedule our Valentine's dinner tradition? We want to do it, but it falls on a Wednesday this year, which is busy with church and means Jim doesn't take a dinner break. Would a weekend (or lunch before noon when Jim goes to work) ever work for you? :)
Jaena -
Absolutely!! One of the girls in the office takes lunch at 11 so I can switch with her, I'm sure! Or a weekend - whatever works best for you. :)
Thanks for stopping by! Good to hear from you!
Don't forget September 19, which is Talk Like A Pirate Day.
For Chocolate Day, did you know they just came out with dark-chocolate-dipped Altoids? The peppermint is fabulous!
Skyepuppy - I'm in BIG trouble with that pirate talking business. Can we change it to "watch Johnny Depp" day and just watch the pirate movies instead???
Chocolate dipped altoids? Now that is something I'm not sure I can handle.
