November 20th - It was on this day in history in 1969 that Pele scored his 1000th soccer goal. That’s a lot of goals considering how challenging it usually is to get through defenders, while trying to remain onside, and looking for the best possible angle to make sure that ball’s placed perfectly for a goal. To do all that 1000 times is a huge accomplishment in my eyes. If your passion for soccer is as intense as Pele’s, then make your way over to Dicks Sporting Goods today for the best soccer gear like cleats, shin guards, apparel and much more.

1981 - Ringo Releases Stop and Smell the Roses Album - When I’m overtired and visit my doctor to make sure everything’s alright, she smiles at me and says: “Everything’s fine; you just need to learn to relax. Stop and smell the roses, ya know?” Well, I’d love to stop and smell the rose but then my nose tickles, my eyes get inflamed, my throat feels extremely scratchy…and who has time to stop and smell roses anyway? I’m kidding. The message my doctor was relaying to me is the same that’s in this song: our lives are insanely busy, and we often forget to sit back and take a breather sometimes. So, if you’re not a floral-type person, then light some scented candles in your home and put on a nature-sounds CD or some slow jazz.

1977 - Major Indoor Soccer League Officially Organized in NYC - I play both outdoor and indoor soccer. Before I ever played indoor soccer, I assumed that it would be a lot easier than outdoor.

Plus, there isn’t the slightest breeze to help cool off causing your face to turn a deep beet-purple color from overheating. I will never assume anything about any sport again until I’ve played it.

Ellen Pompeo, 39 - She plays Dr. Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy. She’s not my favorite character as she’s way too dramatic and pouty all the time. Instead, I like Cristina - the go-getter. She’s focused, determined and doesn’t stop at anything until she gets what she wants. Her bluntness and coldness make me laugh till I ache in the sides.

November 3rd - It was on this day in history in 1956 that The Wizard of Oz was shown on TV for the first time. Although today I really like this movie, as a child it terrified me. Those evil, talking trees gave me the heebie jeebies. And the Wicked Witch sent chills down my spine, especially her hackling laugh. I was always glad though that it turned out to be a nightmare. My favorite part of the movie was Dorothy’s ruby-red shoes! I loved them so much that my mother bought me a pair just like them. The shoe fetish has stuck me until this day…my closet is stocked with tons of shoes. I love stilettos, knee-high boots, sandals, clogs & more.

Rachel McAdams, 32 - You may remember her from such films like Mean Girls, The Notebook, and Red Eye. She’s a popular Canadian actress who’s down to earth and completely loveable. The only time you hate her a little is in the movie Mean Girls in which she plays meanie queen-bee Regina George…but that’s just because she’s such a great actress.  I read somewhere once that she has a thing about crooked pictures that drives her crazy. And she’s also a bit of a neat-freak who likes things super organized. Well, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that! It actually makes me like her more since she seems even more human. If you can relate to Rachel’s need for organization, then head over to Compact Appliance.

September 26th - It was on this day in history in 1962 that the TV comedy The Beverly Hillbillies premiered on CBS.  My favorite character was Daisy May, aka Granny. Maybe I like her so much because she reminds me of my grandmother. Both women thought they could cure anything with plants and herbs. Gramma used to maintain quite the garden in her backyard. One side was dedicated to veggies, the other to herbs. And the front yard was a gorgeous wonderland of flowers and vines.

1969 - Beatles Release Abbey Road - This was the eleventh album produced by the Beatles. The album before this one (Get Black) wasn’t very successful as the Beatles tried something new with their music that fans didn’t respond to very well. Abbey Road went back to songs that identified more with their original sound and vibe. Hence, this album became a HUGE hit instantly as fans felt reunited with the band. If you want to unite with the Beatles again and enjoy the good-old days, here’s what I suggest you do: Create a shrine in your home with Beatles posters, vintage tickets, old-school prints and more. Then, turn the lights low, light some incense and pop in the Abbey Road album. Sit back, close your eyes and let your memory take you back…to great times. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff I mentioned on sale:

• Wolfgangs Vault - use Wolfgangs Vault coupons for 10% off posters, prints, vintage tickets & more
• Sony Style - use Sony Style coupons for a discount on the Abbey Road album by the Beatles

September 24th - It was on this day in history in 1845 that the first baseball team was organized. I remember when we’d play baseball for gym in grade school.  For once in my life I wasn’t the last girl picked! My older brother taught me how to swing a bat in a way that was guaranteed to make contact with the ball and send it flying. I was known to hit grand slams and homeruns on a consistent basis. So, when we played baseball for gym, not only was I not picked last, but I was picked first!

1895 - 1st Around-the-World Trip by a Woman on a Bicycle - This milestone took about 15 months to accomplish. To be able to say that you took a ride around the world on a bike, well, you’re a superhero in my books.  She must have used more than one bike though. With all the different types of terrains from forests to mountains to roads and more, one bike couldn’t withstand all that!

So, take a cruise over to Sierra Trading Post where you’ll discover an array of brand name mountain bikes & road bikes for less.

National Cheeseburger Day - Cheeseburgers are yet another classic American food. And wouldn’t you know it I have never tasted or ordered a cheeseburger before in my life. When I tell people this, they usually think I’m from outer space. It’s not that I don’t find cheeseburgers delicious, because in my opinion anything topped with cheese is OK in my books! Ever since I was little, I never really gravitated toward hamburgers because I wasn’t ”allowed” to have too much meat (I’m still not allowed). So at birthday parties I would tend to order chicken burgers while everyone ordered cheeseburgers; thus making me feel left out and looking like a health freak and I was only 10! Today we could all celebrate this should be a real holiday on the calendar and throw a cheeseburger party at home or work. You don’t have to be a meat lover to enjoy today’s holiday. Vegetarians and chicken lovers alike can enjoy their version of it as long cheese is the topping! I have the perfect place for you to check out - Omaha Steaks! Save up to 63% on gourmet meat, burgers and prepared meals and receive 12 free burgers when you take advantage of Omaha Steaks coupons.

“Iron Horse” Outraced by Horse Day - If you didn’t know back then (like I’m talking the 1800s), Iron Horses were the names given to the first steam trains. In 1830, the first steam train “Tom Thumb” was well uh outraced by a horse. Ouch! This was a test to show America that a revolutionary new form of transportation was invented to speed up the process of transporting goods and people. And the plan backfired! Who needs a train when horses can do the job faster? I bet that’s what people back then were thinking. Can you imagine being beat at your own game or talent? It’s a bummer. Today we should be inspired and just like trains come back stronger and more powerful then our competition. If you’re training for a marathon, sports team or league, then the old saying “practice makes perfect” is a great way to achieve your goal and outdo your competition. Head over to Dicks Sporting Goods for everything to help you perfect your game and be a champion! Save 15% on discount footwear, sportswear, protective gear and equipment when you use Dicks Sporting Goods coupons.
