Today is Vegetable Day. It is never a set date on the calendar but occurs somewhat randomly, although with purpose. I know some of you are familiar with it whereas others are not (you listening, Mel? Teechur? :P ).
It goes like this: It tends to occur following a Large Influx of Busy Days. This week, for instance, Wednesday was "Birthday in Seattle Day", Thursday was "Go to Renton Turkey Day", Friday was "Hurry Up & Get Your Butt Down Past Puyallup Because One of Your Idaho Cousins Is Only In Town For The Day" Day. Hence today is Vegetable Day.
Now Vegetable Day does not require the consumption of vegetables (although after the last 3 days of consumption it would be better if it did). It starts with.... sleeping in. WAY in. So "in" that Nutter Butter is threatening to drag you out of bed by chomping onto your hair & pulling hard just so she can have some breakfast (oops, lunch) "in". So you finally get up before your scalp suffers grievous harm, feed & pill the critters, turn the dogs loose on the backyard, & plunk yourself down in front of your new computer. Oh, and have a piece of birthday cake for breakfast. With diet Coke. And start burning Christmas CDs onto your 'puter & singing along (who can resist?). Then, a true Vegetable Day devotee ignores the dishes, laundry, vacuum cleaner & bills until it's dark. At least dark, if not out & out nighttime. And let the dogs in & out, in & out, as they give their best impressions of indecisive cats. And such is the celebration known as Vegetable Day.
Amen.
