Ok, So from now till the end of summer I'm not trying to do as many holidays as I can. I am aiming for one a day and if I get more than that done than yay! I have to be on the computer to do most of the holidays, and with the weather being so nice the last thing I want to do is be in the house on the computer. I'd much rather be training the dog or goofing off with the goats! I hope every one's ok with that.
I also have to apologize for the past week. I've done almost NO holidays- SORRY! I was dancing at a nursing home Thursday, Had a Ballet recital Saturday, then got an awful head cold, that is only now starting to leave! I know. I know. A bunch of excuses. But at least I have some reason right? Don't abandon me for doing a bad job on my dedication! I'll keep it up...I don't give up that easily!
I was talking with my mom and I decided that I would spend the next year celebrating as many holidays and occurrences as possible. I think there are around 300 holidays a month!
My mom and I have always loved all the peculiar holidays and have had many laughs discussing them. I think this year will be a lot of fun but it will also require a lot of dedication, time, and it wont be without costs. I will give you once a week up dates once I get it started (Probably next month) and I will post daily journalings as often as possible. I have a feeling I will be rather busy.
I am home schooled which I believe will make this a whole heap easier, but also more challenging. Mom made an agreement with me... For this year I will use this as a lot of my school work. I will be writing reports on many of these days and I will be doing loads of research. I look forward to this coming year and I hope you will enjoy following my blog.
Feel free to post your comments along the way.

National School Nurses' day
Have a GREAT School Nurses' day!
Receptionists day
I brought gifts to the Receptionists at the doctors office in Somersworth. Happy Receptionists' day!
National Night Shift Workers day
Monday I sent my uncle a card in the mail. He works the night shift at Walmart and I sent him a happy National Night Shift Workers Day hoping it would arrive today. I'm not sure if it did arrive today but it doesn't matter when he receives it, He'll get the idea!
P.S. I just got a call from my Uncle! He Got the card today. He had no idea the holiday existed. I'm finding that not many people are aware of any of the holidays.

World Laughter day
Me and my friend celebrated this one without ever thinking of the holiday- in fact we didn't even know it was world Laughter day when we celebrated it!
We were working on the movie we are making and for no apparent reason today was our most blooperfull day of filming. Nothing we were doing was overly funny but we just couldn't stop laughing! Happy World Laughter day!

No Homework day and No Diet Day
I didn't do any homework today, and that usually would have been hard cause all the school I do is Homework...but today is Sunday! So I wouldn't have done home work any way! Happy No Homework day!
Today I also celebrated No Diet Day! That one was also VERY easy because I'm not dieting! Happy no Diet day as well!
