National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day
Yep.
I missed a couple over the last few weeks.
The coolest sister-in-law ever had her birthday March 5
My friend Tara and I have a list of favorite B-list stars that we occasionally joke about/keep tabs on/strive to run into at Disney parks. I'd like to give you all the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays. I think they deserve it. If you have any B-list birthdays you'd like me to mention, feel free. Here are this months:
Chuck Norris was born March 10. I think it should be a national holiday.
Rob Lowe - March 17

Easter
It's early this year, but nonetheless important. Do your thing, and don't focus too much on the candy and eggs.
National Chip and Dip Day
I love chips and dip of all kinds. I'm an equal opportunity dipper. Chips and salsa, onion dip, ranch dip, random dip - I love it all. Here's a recipe for our family's favorite chip dip:
1 brick of cream cheese
1 24 oz. carton of cottage cheese
1 bunch of green onions chopped
Combine all the ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste, enjoy.
National Melba Toast Day
I've never had melba toast. Maybe I'll try it today. Here's how to make it.

National Goof-off Day
I'm blaming this for my tardiness in posting. Nuff said.
Roller Coaster Day
I think at this time last year I was on an emotional roller coaster. Luckily this year I can celebrate by going on an actual roller coaster...though I probably won't seeing as how the nearest open theme park is several hours away. My family, though, is celebrating in style at the happiest place on earth. Wish I was with them. I suppose I'll have to settle for finding a friend with Roller Coaster Tycoon. *sigh*

Fragrance Day
Smell it up! There are so many delightful fragrances to choose from. Whether you're into the high-priced cologne/perfume, or you just like scented lotion, get your aroma out there and be noticed. I know that there's nothing quite like a good-smelling person. Just brightens up my day.
It's Spring Day
And it is! Perhaps I'm lulling myself into a false sense of security by celebrating too early, but after a brutal winter, I'm ready for a little warmth and sunshine. And I don't even live in Canada! Maybe I'll be brave and bust out my open-toed footwear. Flip-flops? Sandals? Chaco's? Maybe it's still too early for that, but I think I can at least officially put my winter coats away. And I will...Oh, and I don't advise you to celebrate by starting your spring cleaning...unless you're into that sort of thing.

Barbie Doll Day
Yes, an entire day for that iconic piece of playful americana. As Aqua so deftly observes "You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere; imagination, life is your creation." The possibilities with Barbie are endless. I mean, what more could you want when you own a pink car and a giant pink house? So dig up your old dolls, play with your kid's dolls, or maybe just reminisce a bit. Personally I'll be designing my own line of modern day Barbies including West Side Barbie complete with giant hoop earrings and removable pregnant belly, and varicose veins Barbie.
Proposal Day
Get down on your knee and get 'r done. Just pop the question. Or propose something a little less commitment intensive like a game of air hockey.
Festival of Extraterrestrial Abductions Day
Wow, that's a mouthful. But why not? I imagine these are the same people that frequent Renaissance Festivals and the like. We can all celebrate with stories of how bright the lights were along with the finer points of anal probing. I'll let you discover your own cache of stories, but in the event an abduction happens to you, here are some helpful tips to save your self from the wandering hands of an other-worldly visitor.
National Ravioli Day
I love ravioli. Really, I love almost anything Italian. Once I had butternut squash ravioli with a delightful sprinkling of chocolate over the top. You might think it an odd combo, but it really was delightful. There are endless options for your ravioli fun, so I'll again let you discover your own. If you're not in the mood to cook, might I suggest the Ravioli di Portobello at Olive Garden.

Poultry Day
It's a day for the white meat. I'm a huge fan of poultry. Love it. Can't get enough of it. And that's all I have to say.
National Chocolate Carmel Day
I don't know if this means a carmel-filled chocolate, chocolate flavored carmels, or perhaps a person by the name of Carmel who happens to be dark-skinned. I'll let you all use your imagination here. I'm just happy we get to celebrate something with chocolate involved.
Let's Laugh Day
Personally I think every day should be a day to laugh, but as long as we're having a day to celebrate I plan to go full-force. I want to laugh until I cry. It's a great ab workout. So find some things to laugh at. Here are some of my favorite places that have made me laugh out loud:
