Celebrate Yourself!
Posted by Aarti on September 6th, 2007 . Filed under: Uncategorized .
There’s a website where you can find out what else the country should be celebrating on your birthday in addition to the anniversary of your leaving the womb.
Here’s what I found out:
Me: Potato Day
Bren: Rubber Eraser Day (WHAT?!)
Who knew that the lowly potato and I were cosmically aligned? Next time someone calls me a couch potato, I will glow with pride and say, YES I AM! I will eat fries like a champion, bathe in mashed potatoes, sleep on a bed of tater tots! Does that make me a cannibal?
And who knew how compatible a potato and a rubber eraser are?
Go find out what your day is and tell me what it is!!

So I know this is a very old post, but I just started going thru it. Found out about it due to watching you on NFNS. BTW, I think you should absolutely win! Your recipes are ones I find myself wanting to try. And, of course, you are absolutely adorable!
This posting fascinated me, and I just had to find out. My birthday is March 19th. So, not so fun is National Quilting Day. Then, I discovered another celebration on Mar 19th: Swallows Return Day. It is celebrated in San Juan, CA. There is a lovely story surrounding it that can be found by searching for “The Swallows of San Juan Capistrano”.

Defy Superstition Day, which is ironic because every once and a while my birthday (September 13th) falls on Friday the 13th as well.

National Pig Day and Peanut Butter Lover’s Day. So do I get pork and peanut butter on my birthday – separately I hope, as I don’t know how to put the those two things together.

I’m like others reading through your blog from the beginning. My birthday is December 29th and it’s Pepper Pot Day. Well, I like to cook.
