This is probably one of the best holidays created ever! According to http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/, today is National Stay at Home Because You are Well Day!
But I'm not sure that many bosses are actually aware of this celebration. While we may be tempted to throw caution to the wind and hang out fishing, watching the Hallmark Channel, sleeping, or shopping for the holiday, giving this as a reason to stay home may be a little iffy.  So come up with something a little more believable if you plan to call in. But you didn't hear that from me. (lol)


According to the CDC, in the case of an emergency, at least 3 gallons of water per person is what's needed to be prepared for just 3 days.That's assuming that one gallon is used each day, per person. This includes water to drink, cook and clean up.  It's worth it to get lots of bottled water to keep ready, just in case.


Did you know that Tardar Sauce has over 8 Million LIKES on Facebook? If that seems like a lot, she's actually better known as the very popular Grumpy Cat. (lol)

  3. I could so see myself calling into work and telling my boss that I needed a day off just so I could relax. She'd probably laugh me off. And omg. I've been wanting Fudge in a bad way lately so you totally read my mind!!! But I would the plain kind, although... marshmallows sounds very, very tempting.. ;) I've missed you, Ro!

  7. That rocky road fudge sounds delicious. I bought one of those Carnation fudge kits and it's okay, but it feels like it's missing something! I work as a freelancer,so I can take the day off anytime I want...but I end up with too much work to do when I return!
