Here we go:
August 4 National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day
Pour yourself a glass of milk (or almond milk) and enjoy America's #1 favorite cookie today!
August 5 National Underwear Day
A great way to celebrate today would be to put on a clean pair of underwear. Did your mom ever tell you to, "Make sure you are wearing clean underwear. You never know when you will be in an accident!" Break out a clean pair those boxers, tighty whities, bikinis, briefs or thongs. Need more ideas on how to celebrate today? How about
watching Tom Cruise in Risky Business?
read about the history of underwear in, "Unmentionables: A Brief History of Underwear," by Elaine Benson.

National Work Like a Dog Day
Today is a great day to go and meet every challenge you face head on. Feel free to share on social media how hard you work or even a video of your average workday. I know that today I will be working hard like my weird dog, Pippen by laying around on our back deck.
August 6 National Fresh Breath Day
I added this day because I thought it was odd to celebrate fresh breath. I did a little digging and this day is in place to celebrate oral health. So, brush your teeth a few extra times today. Don't forget to pop a mint (or three) when getting close to your special someone. And, it doesn't hurt to pop a mint if you are wearing a face mask. Does anyone else think they have bad breath when wearing a face mask or is it just me?
August 10 National S'mores Day
"You want a s'more, Smalls?"
"Some more of what?"
"No. Do you want a s'more?"
"I haven't had anything yet so how can I have some more of nothing?"
"You're killing me Smalls! These are s'mores stuff, 'kay? Pay attention. First you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then you roast the mallow. When the mallow's flaming, you stick it on the chocolate. Then you cover it with the other end. Then you scarf. Kind of messy, but good. Try some."
Does anyone know what movie that's from?
August 12 National Middle Child Day
Wow. Now you get your own day. You must be Mom's favorite.
August 13 National Left Handers Day
It's time to recognize all of those Lefties out there (including RT). Once thought as "the hand of the devil," parents would force their children to use their right hand. Now left handers are accepted and make up about 10% of the population. Left handers grew up and survived a right handed world. Why not celebrate by taking your favorite left hander out for lunch today?
August 15 National World Honey Bee Day
Today we celebrate bee keepers, honey lovers and all blooming things. It's a way to encourage people to buy locally grown honey. How you can celebrate the day? Plant some wildflowers, buy locally grown honey or add a little honey to your tea this morning
August 16 National Rum Day
Rum is a clear alcoholic drink which is the byproduct of sugar production. It can also be made directly from sugar cane juice. I'm sure you don't need a background on rum or even a reason to drink it. Cheers!

Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
Tank.
Tank who?
You're welcome.
August 17 National Thrift Shop Day
A great way to celebrate would be to go pop some tags, especially if you have twenty dollars in your pocket. You can also celebrate today by donating your unused items to your local thrift shop.
August 26 National Dog Day
National Dog Day encourages dog ownership of all breeds, including, mutts, purebreds, mixes and weird dogs. The purpose of the day is to find homes for rescue dogs. Pippen makes the calendar twice this month. Today I will be celebrating by giving my weird rescue mutt lots of love.
August 30 National Beach Day
Today is to celebrate the sandy beaches all around the world. It's also a reminder to keep them clean. Always remember to clean up after yourself (Don't litter!). Take home what you bring to the beach. I need to be a part of National Beach Day. Anyone care to join me?
