A few weeks ago my friend Kayla emailed me and a few other friends a list of holidays and observances for the month of March. I was pleased to discover that March 4 is National Grammar Day. I developed a love for grammar as I learned French on my mission. Grammar is the mathematical side of language; it's all about nuance and detail. Which I suppose is why my accountant mind loves it so much.
Anyway, I really enjoy some of these observances/holidays and I love any reason to celebrate so I thought I'd share some of them. All during the month of March:
Expanding Girls’ Horizons in Science and Engineering Month - Because every woman scientist/engineer was once a girl.
International Ideas Month - What does this even mean?
National Cheerleading Safety Month - I don't think this is random/specific enough. I can understand a month dedicated to cheerleading. But they really take things a step further here to highlight safe cheerleading. For an entire month. Which is why I love it.
National Eye Donor Month - Seven Pounds anyone?
Workplace Eye Health and Safety Month - Not to be confused with Workplace Leg and Safety Month in September.
National Procrastination Week: 1-7 - AKA every week of my life.
National Professional Pet Sitters Week: 7-13 - Because giving them a whole month would just be ridiculous.
Act Happy Week: 15-21 - Act happy? Fake it till you make it, I guess.
Consider Christianity Week: 21-27 - You only need to think about it, that's all. Just give it some thought.
Courageous Follower Day: 4 - Giving all you sheep out there a reason to feel good.
National Grammar Day: 4 - Finally, something worth celebrating!
24-Hour Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology: 10-11 - ... ?
International Day of Awesomeness: 10 - This holiday is really about me.
Genealogy Day: 13 - Family history is legit.
Forgive Mom and Dad Day: 18 - Let's face it, they had no idea what they were doing when they raised you.
Swallows Return to San Juan Capistrano Day: 19 - I don't even know what this means.
Kiss Your Fiance Day: 20 - What if you don't have one?
Won’t You Be My Neighbor Day: 20 - I love Fred "Mr." Rogers.
Corn Dog Day: 20 - Now we're starting to get to some of the more serious holidays.
Maple Syrup Day: 20 - Ah, how I wish I could find a cabane à sucre here in Colorado.
Grass Is Always Browner On the Other Side Of The Fence Day: 30 - Is it though?
And finally, saving the best for last:
National Fanny Pack Day: 13 - YES!

Happy National Grammar Day!

if procrastination week falls on the 1st-7th, wouldn't they actually not get around to celebrating until a few weeks later?
