STSA #92: Happy National Monthly National Happiness Month!

This is one of the biggest months of the year for special observances. For instance, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month and National Crime Prevention Month. We understand the importance of spotlighting worthy causes and ideals…but other monthly observances have us scratching our heads. Do we really need to celebrate National All American Breakfast Month? I mean, come on, we celebrate that every MORNING. Here are a few more things we’re commemorating this month:

October is:

American Cheese Month
National Chili Month
National Caramel Month
National Pizza Month
National Pasta Month
National Dessert Month
National Cookie Month
National Country Ham Month
National Pickled Peppers Month
National Popcorn Poppin’ Month
National Pork Month
National Seafood Month
National Spinach-Lovers’ Month
National Pumpkin Month
National Sausage Month

(Boy, we must like to eat in October, huh?)

Hug a Texas Chef Month
Bake and Decorate Month
Mom & Apple Pie Month
National Restaurant Hospitality Month

(We wouldn’t be able to eat if nobody was around to cook it!)

National Roller Skating Month
National Stamp Collecting Month
Turn Over a New Leaf Month
(It’s good to have hobbies!)

Dinosaur Month
Fantasy Month
National Graphic Novel Writing Month
Computer Learning Month

(Nerds need a reason to celebrate, too!)

Bat Appreciation Month
Squirrel Awareness Month

(I’m an animal lover, but…really?)

Do-It Yourself Month
National Kitchen and Bath Month
National Toilet Tank Repair Month

(Time to tackle those honey-do’s!)

National Sarcastic Month

(Yeah, right, like THAT’S gonna catch on!)

One more…October is also National Dental Hygiene Month. So we’d like to celebrate with our friends at Epic Dental. They make “Something To Smile About” possible!

Got something imaginative that makes you smile? Please, do send it along!

And, here, as always are some sweet links to enjoy.

STSA #91: What did the football coach say to the broken vending machine?

“Give me my quarterback!” Yeah, yeah, I know. Pretty bad, right? I admit that I’m not the biggest football fan…but the rest of my household is stoked. I live with three gridiron groupies and this is their favorite time of the year. Mine, too…I find Sunday afternoons to be the best time to slip out and do some shopping! Which team are you on? Whether you’re an armchair quarterback or a football widow, I think you’ll enjoy these funny football quotes, courtesy of Brian in Lexington, Kentucky:

I wouldn’t ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important like a league game or something.
- Dick Butkus

Most football teams are temperamental. That’s 90% temper and 10% mental.
- Doug Plank

I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first.
- George Rogers

Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.
- Joe Theismann

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead. - Erma Bombeck

When I went to Catholic high school in Philadelphia, we just had one coach for football and basketball. He took all of us who turned out and had us run through a forest. The ones who ran into the trees were on the football team. - George Raveling

Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent. - Dave Barry

Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it. - Heywood Hale Braun

Football isn’t a contact sport, it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport. - Duffy Daugherty

You have to play this game like somebody just hit your mother with a two-by-four. - Dan Birdwell

I’ve found that prayers work best when you have big players.
- Knute Rockne

I’ve been big ever since I was little. - William “The Refrigerator” Perry

We can’t run. We can’t pass. We can’t stop the run. We can’t stop the pass. We can’t kick. Other than that, we’re just not a very good football team right now. - Bruce Coslet

Well, ready or not, here we go. The way I figure, I’m on my own until early February. I knew my husband meant business when he said, “Honey , do you have anything you want to say before football season starts?”

Special thanks to our friends at Epic Dental for making this possible once again!
