Happy Licorice Day!
I luuuuv licorice! Especially the real stuff! My favorite is dark Australian licorice. Delish! It's my "must-purchase" at Dylan's Candy Bar. I also love little licorice pastels. They have juuuuust enough crunch to make your mouth happy!
As far as Twizzlers, it's just rubber sugar. Fruit flavored licorice? Puleeeez! Now, if you need some good licorice and can't get to Dylan's, the best grocery store licorice ropes are Red Vines by far! Plus they're fat free! If you're a fan of Red Vines, they're having a rad sweepstakes to celebrate National Licorice Day. Head over to their site now to register for the chance to win all kinds of awesome Red Vines gear! They are also having a drawing contest for their package and canister labels. Go to their website to check it out!

Saturday is the 18th Annual National Corndog Day! Are you ready? The legend goes that some guys in Oregon were in the middle of March Madness and got hungry. So, one of them went to the freezer and found a 24-box of corndogs and they sat and ate them for the rest of the day. Since that red-letter day in 1992, National Corndog Day is celebrated on the Saturday of the final 32 teams in the NCAA basketball tournament. The official holiday is sponsored by Foster Farms, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Jones Soda. I'm serious!
Ready to celebrate? Go to corndogday.com and locate an officially sanctioned NCD party near you. Or, host your own party. The NCD website sells party packs to help make your corndog day a success. For $29.95, you get 5 coupons worth $8 for Foster Farms corndogs, 1 $5 value coupon for Jones Soda, 1 NCD shirt, 1 20'x30" poster, NCD temporary tattoos, corndog flavored mints, a Jones Soda hat and a Pabst Blue Ribbon bumper sticker.
I like mine with mustard, tater tots and an Ocean Water from Sonic. How 'bout you?

Kiosk Calendaritis Remedy
I'm back and ready for 2010! Finally.
I'm only 3 weeks late. The deal was that I didn't have a calendar and I need one to wrap my brain around a new year. I know. Weird. I've been looking for one, but cars, barns, whales and wolves don't exactly inspire me. Blah. And some of them are just ridiculous. Case in point:
The worst are those calendar kiosks at the mall. They give me hives. They invade your space. It's like the calendars themselves are mocking me. "Hey you--don't you have a Thomas Kinkaid CD case calendar yet?" I know he paints with light and all that, but he's not exactly my type and I don't feel like spending money on his calendar. (No offense, Tom.)
Anyhoo, since January is half over, I decided to get a move on and make my own calendar. I know it's a bit late and you probably bought your calendar months ago, but I thought I would share mine with you anyway. I added some fun holidays and celebrity birthdays to it. (I found out I share mine with Cher!) So, even if you already have a calendar, you will definitely want this one, too. You don't want to miss Bubble Wrap Day this year, do you?
You can preview the entire calendar in the window below. Cool, eh? To get your very own official 2010 Silly Bee's Chickadees Calendar click the "download" link. If the calendar preview doesn't show, just click on the highlighted text above the box. By the way, Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day is next Monday, the 25th!

That's Right, You're Not from Texas, but Texas Wants You Anyway- Lyle Lovett
Friday is Go Texan Day. If you aren't in Texas, it may sound a little silly, but Texans are a proud people. There's no getting around it. Texas is its own country. It's not really in the South and it's not quite part of the Southwest. Whether you are a Native Texan or a transplant, during Rodeo Houston, you are a Texan.
Every year around this time, Go Texan is celebrated all over the state. Most schools encourage students to dress for Go Texan Day and many companies do, too. At our office, we have a Go Texan barbecue lunch complete with a chili cook-off, dessert bake-off, Dr. Pepper chug (Dr. Pepper was born in Waco, TX), and a Best Dressed Contest.
Go Texan Day generally coincides with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the largest in the nation. The HLSR is pretty amazing and really fun. The organization gives scholarships to kids for 4-H participation, Future Farmers Association, college students and fine art, just to name a few. This season, they pledge to award close to 11 million dollars in educational funding.
During the Livestock Show, everyone is a cowpoke! Even Prada-toting, Jimmy Choo-wearing urban socialites show up at fancy eateries in suede fringe and custom-made boots. It's pretty funny, but I admit to being one of those urban cowgirls even though I have ridden a few horses in my day and watched the chickens lay eggs at grandpa's house "out in the country".
If you grew up in Texas, chances are that you had a western portrait like mine. A bunch of my friends do. In fact, in the 3rd grade, Go Texan Day was the same day as picture day, so everyone donned the plaid western-cut shirts and shearling vests, the ones they pull out once a year.
One of my favorite highlights of Go Texan is the parade of trail riders that ride in from across the state. I work near a main street on the trail route and I have often had to make room on Shepherd Drive for the horses and chuck wagons traveling alongside me!
I'm proud to be a Texan. I think we're pretty friendly people. But, drop a Dairy Queen cup out your car window, and Willie will come kick your rear! Don't Mess With Texas!

Get Your Pop On!
You know it, you love it, you couldn't live without it. Today is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day! The best shipping product day of the year! In honor of this should-be-a-national-holiday day, I've pulled together some excellent resources for prime bubble wrap popping fun just for you.
Start your bubble wrap appreciation day activities with a visit to BubbleWrapFun.com. You'll find a virtual bubble pop game, bubble wrap shirts, 101 uses for bubble wrap, answers to FAQs including "Do elephants like bubble wrap?", the history of bubble wrap, a bubble popping personality test and much, much more bubble-icious fun!
What can you create with bubble wrap? Just ask Corianne Cha, Tucker Haas and Nathan Huber, finalists in the Bubble Wrap Brand Competition for Young Inventors. The grand prize winner, who will be announced today, receives a $10,000 US Savings Bond. Second prize is a $5,000 savings bond and third prize is a $3,000 savings bond. Not bad, eh? If you know a 5th-8th grader who may be interested in the contest, click HERE to register for info on next year's competition. Click on the contest logo above to learn about the finalists' brilliant, bubbly inventions!
Check out this Bubble Wrap Calendar. It's just about the coolest use of bubble wrap I've ever seen! I get a design e-newsletter and it was featured a few weeks ago.
Finally, I'd like to give a shout out to the inventors of Bubble Wrap, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, without whom we might never know the joy of jumping up and down on bubble wrap. And everyone knows it's much more fun than jumping up and down on tissue paper. Happy popping!
