I really should not put off these postings

Thanksgiving is this Thursday and I am already sick of the word “turkey”.

The 19th was National Caffeinated Carbonated Beverage Day, a good day to get caffeinated (my own choices are Diet Pepsi with a shot of lemon juice or Diet Mountain Dew). The 21st is National Gingerbread Day, and I’m sure a box of gingerbread mix made with a can of diet ginger ale would be a great combination.

November 18th: National Vichyssoise Day
November 19th: Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day
November 20th: Beaujolais Nouveau Day, National Peanut Butter Fudge Day
November 21st: National Gingerbread Day, National Stuffing Day (why now I do not know)
November 22nd: National Cashew Day
November 23rd: National Espresso Day (or possibly tomorrow -- my sources do not agree), Eat A Cranberry Day
November 24th: National Sardines Day, alternate National Espresso Day, National Use Even If Seal Is Broken Day (HIGHLY DISRECOMMENDED)
November 25th: National Parfait Day
