National Bologna Day - Today is National Bologna Day, the American version of Italian mortadella and it originated in the city of Bologna in Italy. Throughout time, the pronunciation of ‘bologna’ changed to ‘baloney,’ which is how people associate with it. Bologna or baloney, is most notably found in a baloney sandwich with mustard or mayonnaise. It’s a really inexpensive lunch choice to put in kid’s lunches (and adults sometimes love it too). Growing up, I had baloney sandwiches virtually every day that today, I won’t go near it! I was sort of at a disadvantage because around the time I was growing up, that popular commercial jingle by Oscar Mayer was released and hooked everyone on baloney (more than they already were). If you’re looking to celebrate today’s holiday, you can always go make yourself a baloney sandwich; however, I’m pretty sure it won’t be half as good as the choices you’ll have at Omaha Steaks. You’re all grown up now so it’s about time you start eating that way! Check out Omaha Steaks coupons and save up to 63% on gourmet meat and chicken dishes, smoked hams and receive 12 free burgers.
Pet Peeve Week - October 20th - 24th - I’d like to draw attention to this week’s major running holiday, Pet Peeve Week. Yes, we all have ‘em, and sometime or another we all tend to annoy the people we’re close to or just everyday people we come in contact with. Everyone has their own views and feelings toward certain behaviors and things that may or may not have any impact on them. Sometimes a bunch of little things add up and we form an attitude around it and it becomes a lifelong pet peeve. My 8th grade yearbook blurb listed my pet peeves and they included: “snobs, backstabbers and waking up early.” I can say that all these years later, not much has changed. I still get annoyed by all three things and have added more to my list. My biggest pet peeve right now: people who walk slow on the street, mall or wherever. Move it, people! Today, you should celebrate Pet Peeve Week by doing something that releases your frustration. For me that means reading. Check out Magazines.com for amazing low prices on your favorite magazines.
