National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day

Years ago when I was a true blue goody goody two shoes I posted a "thought for the day" on a black board in the lunchroom where I worked down town Belleville, IL.  It was a lot of fun until I got busted. 

Can you imagine?  I got busted for being "too cheery" 

Yep, it upset someone (never found out who the disgruntled employee was) who took it upon themselves to counter all my sweet comments with foul vulgar comments.  Management knew who "Goody Goody Two Shoes" was so I was asked to stop.  I was tempted to continue out of pure obstinacy but what would that prove, so I quit.

It was really a sad day for me.  I enjoyed coming up with happy little sayings, but the most fun was finding crazy holidays to celebrate.  Fun days like National Friendship Day, Love Thy Neighbor day, National Ground Hog Day, Tell a Fairy Tale Day, National Tooth Fairy Day, Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day, and of course National Pig Day.  I swear to you, I did not make these up.  The craziest would have to be Hoodie Hoo Day which happens to be a copyrighted holiday.

So when I came across an ad in the Sauce Magazine suggesting we celebrate National Ice Cream For Breakfast Day, you know I was excited.  Hooray!  Goody Goody Two Shoes is still alive and well.

That's right, Feb 4, 2012 is really National Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.  I can see it now, ice cream over pancakes and waffles or ice cream over rice crispy treats.  What a way to start your day off.

Two more days and I can officially celebrate National Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.  Incidentally, two of my grandchildren will have spent the night with me February 3rd.

Drum roll please.  Ratty Tat Tat!  That means I will have two little girls sharing breakfast with me that morning.  MMMMMM YUMMY!  Pancakes, ice cream, fruit and lots of sprinkles for breakfast.
