Mark your calendars for these extremely random holidays!

1. July 18th - National French Fry Day.

On July 18th we celebrate the deep-friend potato treat paired with your favorite burger, chicken fingers or eaten alone. Too bad it's in the middle of the summer because #SummerBod.

2. September 28th - National Drink Beer Day.

We all knew about National Coffee Day, but National Drink Beer Day? I don't see that as a problem.

3. October 4th - National Vodka Day.

This one on the other hand...this one may be a problem.

4. November 19th - World Toilet Day.

This holiday was created to bring awareness to the fact that 2.5 billion people lack proper sanitation and is recognized by an official United Nations resolution.

5. December 30th - National Bacon Day.

Turkey bacon? Pork bacon? What's your favorite type of bacon?

6. January 24th - Compliment Day.

Who doesn't love a compliment?

7. February 5th - National Nutella Day.

The thing is, if you've never tried Nutella, don't. Don't do it. If you do, then you'll want more and then you'll never be able to stop. Nutella is addicting.

8. March 25th - Waffle Day.

If I had to choose between waffles and pancakes, I'd pick waffles all the way!

9. April 16th - Wear Pajamas To Work Day.

Ok, let's be real. If we did this we'd be fired.

10. May 3rd - No Pants Day.

In this summer heat I feel like No Pants Day should be everyday.

11. June 5th - National Running Day.

I once saw a tweet that said "My biggest fear is marrying into a family that willingly runs a 5K the morning after Thanksgiving dinner". Let's just say I agree and this isn't my favorite holiday.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
