June 27th, 2013, is Sunglasses Day, Decide to Be Married Day, "Happy Birthday to You" Day, National Orange Blossom Day, Paul Bunyan Day, National HIV Testing Day, Independence Day (Djibouti), Canadian Multiculturalism Day, and National Bomb Pop Day.
Look like a celebrity and protect your eyes by celebrating Sunglasses Day. If you read this late in the day, emulate Corey Hart by wearing sunglasses at night.
Today is Decide To Be Married Day. Who knew this was an option? Nobody told me, back in the day when I turned 35 and pundits were saying that women over 35 had a greater chance of being struck by lightning than getting married. Oh, well. For me, at least, love arrived before the lightning.
Double congrats if today is your birthday, because June 27th is "Happy Birthday To You" Day. Mildred J. Hill wrote the melody on this date and her sister, Patty Smith Hill, a teacher, wrote the lyrics to what was then titled "Good Morning to All." The classroom hit later evolved into "Happy Birthday to You." The Hill sisters didn't earn much money for the song, but later copyright owners sure did.
Googling for information about National Orange Blossom Day, I expected to find something botanical, or at least gardenish. All I found, however, is a foodie tribute. Who knew orange blossoms aren't just for beauty anymore?
June 27th honors a mythical 30-foot-tall man who wields an axe and hangs around with a blue ox named Babe. Happy Paul Bunyan Day.
National HIV Testing Day is meant to encourage everyone to "Take the Test, Take Control." Early detection is critical, to help stop the spread of AIDS.
Djibouti celebrates its independence from France on June 27th, Independence Day.
Canadian Multiculturalism Day was established in 2002, "to recognise the economic, social and cultural benefits of multiculturalism, and to assist in the integration of immigrant people into the wider community, emphasising democracy, equality and mutual respect in all areas of life."
Find relief from summer's heat with aerodynamic red, white, and blue popsicles. The last Thursday in July is National Bomb Pop Day!
