Mad Hatter Day - What a truly silly and nonsensical holiday it is today! Mad Hatter was the fictional character in the story “Alice Adventures in Wonderland.” This silly character can be argued to be the most recognizable figure in popular culture.

Now, I don’t know much about this story; however, I know that the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party has become such a huge party theme at Halloween parties and birthdays too. How would it not? Just take a look at a Mad Hatter themed party and all you’ll see is bright costumes, eccentric people and all around silliness. No one knows what the point of any of it is; yet everyone seems to be having a BLAST. I loveee parties like that! So today I encourage you to act just like a big ball of silliness just like our friend Mad Hatter! You could throw your own tea party or perhaps plan your Halloween costume party! Getting excited?

National Noodle Day - Noodles are a great way to whip up a fast meal during the week when you come home from work and are in a rush. Noodles are also very resourceful. They’re cheap, can feed a small army and can easily be transformed into deep dishes like cannelloni, lasagna, macaroni and cheese casseroles. Coming from an Italian background, I’ve had to eat pasta at least four times a week…sometimes every day! I know, poor me right? I never used to complain when I was a kid because I thought it was normal. As I got older, I started realizing that there’s so much more to life than noodles every night! Since this revolutionary discovery, my mom has cut back on the number of times we eat noodles. And wouldn’t you know it, it seems everyone has done the complete opposite! My non-Italian friends call me up and ask me how to make pasta! Can you believe it?! I can’t! So today on National Noodle Day, I say you make a noodle dish for yourself, your family or whoever else you normally feed! First head over to Cooking.com for great recipes and amazing deals.

September 23rd - It was on this day in history in 1961 that a movie went on to become a hit TV series: How to Marry a Millionaire.  The three knockouts who starred in the 1953 movie were Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, and the famous Marilyn Monroe. The movie was such a hit that it was turned into a TV series. The series had very high ratings and became popular fast. Pop yourself some popcorn and get cozy on the couch.

Jason Alexander, 49 - Remember hyperactive, paranoid George Castanza from Seinfeld? He was great! But poor George was always a little insecure about his hair loss. There were many episodes when he’d wear a hat he thought looked cool, but that Elaine was fast to laugh at. Or he’d wear a wig with confidence, only to have Elaine rip it off his head and toss it out a window when she thought George was becoming too confident. And then there were other episodes when he’s try new creams that…again…Elaine would tell him smelled awful. Poor George! There are shampoos that help stimulate new hair growth in men and women. They don’t make your nose wrinkle with distaste, but actually have pleasant scents. You can find such shampoos and conditioners at Beauty.com for less.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day - Ahoy Matey! How arrre you today? Well, I’m excited because today is Interrrrrrrnational Talk Like a Pirate Day! You know what that means…there’s going to be shenanigans everywhere you go today. Can you imagine if we all went around talking like a bunch of pirates? We would be grunting and growling, and I bet you no one would understand each other. I’m sure everyone out there just like me wishes they could have a different accent for the day or forever. In my opinion, you take on a totally new persona and attitude when you speak in a different accent. Like say you were a pirate, you would be a very shaky and rough around the edges kind of person. Or, if you were English, you’d be very prim and proper. Nonetheless, today’s holiday is meant to inspire fun and silliness in everyone. If you’re disappointed that you could only talk like a pirate without anyone considering you’re crazy once a year, then I say be a pirate for Halloween so you could do it all over again! Just head over to BuyCostumes. Save 10% on discount pirate costumes, accessories and decorations when you use BuyCostumes coupons and spend $50 or more.

National Butterscotch Pudding Day - There are people who fall into the chocolate category, and there are people who fall into the vanilla category. And then there are those who love…butterscotch? Yes…the butterscotch category. People who fall into this category are not sweet nor plain; they’re a little bit of both. By now you should know I’m kind of a picky person when it comes to certain things…like food. I’d never give up my chocolate for butterscotch. It just won’t happen. Now butterscotch pudding is different, and I would totally choose it over vanilla (still wouldn’t give it up for chocolate). I kind of feel bad for butterscotch since it’s not as popular as the two other flavors people tend to obsess over. If I wasn’t so fixated on chocolate, I’d totally be crazy for butterscotch. Since today is meant to celebrate butterscotch pudding you should serve this traditional fall time hearty dessert this season. Get more people interested in this tasty dessert and start them off slow with Dale and Thomas Popcorn. Save 15% on butter toffee and walnut crunch popcorn treats and gifts when you use Dale and Thomas Popcorn coupons on orders of $85 or more.
