Well, I do enjoy it, so Lemon Meringue Pie Day ain't so bad. And I'm cool with Catfish/Peach/Brownies at Brunch month as well..

@BeeRockafeller Frango mints? Thats what comes to mind @celerysalt I totally feel you on the fellow January B-day. I was born in the middle of a blizzard. My brother is so blessed to get May 5th as his birthday, so even if no party is planned he can just walk into one.

This is bullshit. I'm chocolate mint day. wtf is chocolate mint day? I eat neither chocolate nor mints. And the worst of it is that I'm right in between national wine day and national margarita day. I'm writing my congressperson. I deserve a drunken holiday.

Thanks for the tip Anthony... But it's still a mixed bag: One the one hand it's National Barbecue Month, but on the other it's National Asparagus Month, but on the other hand it's national Chocolate Custard Month, but on the other it's National Gazpacho Aficionado Month (?), but on the other hand it's National Hamburger Month, but on the other my birthday week is International Pickles Week. Um... Yay?

If you don't like your day - be sure to go check the months and weeks - sometimes they're more satisfying. I got national Potato day (ugh) but October is National Popcorn Poppin' Month!
