Mon Aug 13th was International Left Handers' Day. I was left handed for a whole week once, after I cut part my finger off on a swing set, but that's another story for another day. I am not left handed now. Neither is Freeman. In honor of the day, we both wrote our names with our left hands. Let's just say I should steer clear of swing sets!
Tue Aug 14th was National Navajo Code Talkers Day. Let me just say that I was impressed that Freeman actually knew what this was. I sure as heck didn't. Since I really couldn't come up with a way to celebrate this, I shall give you a brief history lesson instead. Ready class? In short, the US Military enlisted the help of Native Americans to transmit messages--their native language was unknown to opposing forces, making it pretty much impossible for them to intercept any information from them. That's as Cliff's Notes version as I can get it, but it's really pretty interesting stuff. Here's a longer version if you care to enlighten yourself:
Wed Aug 15th was Best Friend's Day. Freeman and I were going to be the bestest of friends for an entire day. We were even going to wear matching bracelets and everything. But then job duties took Freeman out of the office for the day, so I was forced to celebrate alone. It was very sad. So, so sad.
Thur Aug 16th was National Airborne Day. As I was working on wrapping up a tedious project, I threatened several times to throw things at people. Thus making said inanimate objects "airborne." Unfortunately that was about the extent of the festivities for the day. I hate it when work gets in the way of a good day of celebrating something.
And the week ended on Fri Aug 17th with National Hug Your Boss Day. Seriously. I can't make this up. Some bosses obviously enjoy this holiday more than others. Period.
