OK, now I am going to have to break out my daily planner. ha ha
On day 21 - I will try to feed the squirrels. :)
Day 22 - I will ponder what a cat would ask...I don't have one. Maybe this is the one day a cat can talk to us. I will have to test out this theroy by tracking a stray cat down to try to hold a conversation.
Day 23 - Will have to write very neatly the measurements of my feet and all those of my seven children. LOL
Day 24 - Eskimo Pie? Well, I am not allowed sweets...so I guess I will just have to dream about eating one and drool on my pillow! LOL
Day 25 - My kids like to play this all the time...so they will be happy that I finally agree with them!
Day 26 - Not sure what to do for this...maybe I will watch a bunch of old episodes of the Croc Hunter or just watch the Animal Planet all day.
Day 27 - Now, this is another one my kids will enjoy! They can irritate me for hours popping the bubble wrap that comes in packages!
Day 28 - I don't plan on playing with Rattle Snakes...that seems a bit dangerous to me and not a very good example to my kids. ha ha And it will be hard, but I guess I will just try to find some clothes to wear around the house that clash...please do not make me leave the house like this though. :)
Day 29 - Hey! It's Fritos Day! My kids will be excited and then the house will be filled with the smell of corn chips! I guess the boys will not mind that so much...it always seems as if that is what the boys' locker room smells like anyways. I am not looking forward to this day!
Day 30 - You mean I have to change my voice mail asnwering message to something else instead about how cute puppies are? Great...now I have to come up with something else!
Dat 31 - Pop corn is something that is eaten every day around this house...but hey, now I can make the kids work for it!!!! hahahahaha
Thanks for sharing the days to fill up my day planner! :)

January 20-21 Invite squirrel to tea and get counseling about blatant hypocrisy in addiction to buttercrunch diet.
January 22-23. Answer cat's list of complaints in writing while standing in standard sized pie tray, having eaten pie.
January 24-25. Write thesis on bipolar Eskimo Pies.
January 26. Move to Australia having accidentally published thesis on myLot
.
January 27. Make fortune running seminars explaining differences between kazoos, rattlesnakes, and what to do when your bubble wrap ensemble clashes with either.
January 28. Seek help, or understanding rattlesnake with kazoo.
January 29-31. Get my surviving Doritos (both of them) to answer all inane calls and explain child labor laws to popcorn and other kinds of social engineers while still in pot, but pre caramel sauce stage, incase they think I'm being frivolous.
February 1. Develop deep unreasonable fear of calendars.

Janurary 21st - I would give a squirrel a piece of uncooked corn.
Janurary 22nd - I would ask my cat what he wants for next Christmas.
Janurary 23rd - I would write a short story.
Janurary 24th - I would give an eskimo a pie (lol).
Janurary 25th - I would speak in opposites.
Janurary 26th - I would wish all Australians Happy Australia Day!
Janurary 27th - I would hang some bubble wrap on the wall then pop it the next day!
Janurary 28th - I would get my kazoo and play it all day long!
Janurary 29th - I would eat cornchips all day (with small breaks inbetween)
Janurary 30th - I would answer messages with stuff like "I'm sorry that your dog ran away, I heard he was in a korean neighborhood." or "Wow! That is so awesome, remind me NOT to ask how that works out." or even "No way! My daughter streaked around the store too! We have so much in common!"
Janurary 31st - I would pop at least one bag of popcorn and dump it on my mom!
These are great! I wonder, will you have crazy ones for next month too? Oh, and also on the 24th, I will celebrate my daughters 3rd birthday!

Please dont tell my cats about the National Answer Your Cats Question day... they already drive me nuts. I can just imagine a day where they run around meowing all day just because I HAVE to answer their silly questions! lol

A great list, and I am glad that I found out in time so I will not miss the obvious celebrations.
I believe that there is at least one event or celebration on every day of the year, although some are bizarre to say the least. My brother sent me a text message last year wishing me "Happy Trafalgar Day", so I retaliated by checking online and sending him a commemorative text message each day for a week. I was amazed at some of the days that exist.

Today also appears to be Fall About Laughing Day. If you got those from here, http://www.brownielocks.com/january.htm then you appear to have missed some :)
Well, I went to the park today with some peanuts in my pocket. The squirrels loved them (and so did the geese but the ducks just looked at them and quacked echolessly).

National popcorn day and child labor day. Great. Who thinks of these things? I think every day should be popcorn day. Do we really need a day to honor bubble wrap? Funny.

This is a great list and maybe celebrating a few will be a fun way to pass this cold month! I'll have to put some treats out for the squirrels this week

Ok, I hate to sound so dumb (I really do) but what the heck is buttercrunch? I can't even imagine what it could be, although the name makes it sound delicious! Is it butter with crunch? (lol) Also, I think that's quite funny that national popcorn day and child labor day are on the same day. Think I'll give the kids some popcorn that day and tell them to get to work around here!! Thanks for sharing, that's a hoot!! :-)

I don't really know of any other strange holiday. But I can say my favorite out of this list has to be...
January 27 is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day!
Who doesn't love Bubble Wrap?? LOL
