Daily Holidays - March 13

Coconut Torte Day Seems only 51 weeks ago we were last celebrating Coconut Torte Day with a delicious, moist, coconutty coconut torte. But no, apparently it’s been a whole year! Thank goodness it’s rolled around again so soon. What could be more exciting than the smell of a cake in the oven? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/coconut-torte-day/

Fill Our Staplers Day Is there anything more annoying in this world than going to use a stapler, only to find it has run out of staples? Yes, yes there is. A huge number of things. However, that does not detract from the fact that it can be extremely annoying, especially if you are at work, under time pressure, and have no idea where the spare staples are held. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/fill-our-staplers-day/

Smart & Sexy Day The ACDN, the organization that started Smart & Sexy Day, works with thousands of women every year to help give them the leg up they need to become self-supportive and confident in their lives. There’s an overwhelming tendency for women who’ve fallen on hard times to continue to slide down into poverty and hardship, simply because they lack the right wardrobe and resources to rise above it. It’s not an insurmountable barrier, but it is definitely one that makes an impact on women in poverty all over the world. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/smart-sexy-day/

Take A Nap Day You got up early and got a great start to the day, you’ve been trucking along being a productive adult, getting your work completed and attending the meetings you have to attend. Throughout it all you’ve been a trooper, you even made it through lunch without much trouble. But now it’s creeping into the late afternoon, and you’re just out of go. What do you do? You take a nap! Napping Day encourages you to remember these benefits of youth and take a little time out of the day for you! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/napping-day/

2. Today's Google Doodle: Happy Holi!

Holi is traditionally celebrated in India, Nepal and surrounding countries, but in recent years other countries have adopted the Hindu festival. This is in part because of the vibrant, brightly hued parties that go along with it.

The festival of colors, as Holi is also known, brings people together at events where they throw a whole rainbow of dyed powder over one another in an explosive free for all. Google's animated Doodle shows a crowd of characters running past the company logo and splattering it with multicolored powder.

On Monday such celebrations will be taking place around the world, with some continuing on later into the week.

3. I like Sassy, Smart, and Sexy myself.

I call them the three Esses. They're Ess-sential. Mind you, Sassy and Smart equate to Sexy, it can't exist by itself in my cosmography.

I also like Short and Slim, but that is more from the standpoint of Es-thetics than personality.
