Happy 4th of July!!  If you like this patriotic banner you can get it from OutdoorDecor.com.  

I love outside party lights and this Patriotic Solar Light Set makes it so easy!  Illuminate your landscape in red, white, and blue using solar power, so these babies can go anywhere - by the mailbox, on the back fence, around your deck - wow! The solar panel stakes into ground, storing the sun's power in environmentally friendly, rechargeable battery. The 23 ft. long string lights up at dusk, and you can choose either constant or flash settings.

I hope this doesn't confuse the fireflies. Blink on, little guys, blink on!

Are you a person that is always making excuses for everything?  I bet your favorite phrase is Oh, I forgot.  Well, today's holiday is just for you, because it's I Forgot Today.  So, today there is no reason to make up an excuse just say "I forgot".  But, if you are looking for some new excuses for work then this Instant Excuse Ball from Office Playground is just what you need, it will help you to come up with great excuses to get you out of any situation. 

The Ice Cream Cookbook has 101 recipes with ice cream as an ingredient, so you can take something plain and fancy it up a bit. Lots of chefs will melt ice cream and use it as a sauce, too.

I wonder what the salads might be?

Today is Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, so eat up!

Today is Canada Day, eh.  This day celebrates the joining of the four provinces into a single country. If you think you know Canada, or know someone that does, then test their knowledge with this Do You Know Canada Trivia Book.

Canadian slang is a combination of American English, British English and French. Here's a test:

garburator - Garbage disposal.

loonie - Canadian one dollar coin.

stagette - "Hen party" in UK or  female bachelorette party in US.

The year is 1980, and the aliens have landed. Earth's only hope is S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization), led by the stalwart Ed Straker (the only American actor in the cast). The Complete UFO DVD MegaSet shows you every bit of their future; a moon base, a submarine with a Skydiver sub/jet and lots of other cool high-tech gadgets.

I love British tv shows. This show is from 1970, created by Gerry Anderson after Thunderbirds and before Space:1999.

And the cars are the coolest! GM should have considered some of these designs!

If you are a geek then your first choice for a vacation spot may not be the beach, it's probably to places like the Space Center in Houston, Fan Expo in Canada or the Tokyo Game Show.  But if your vacation plans are to a sunny beach locale then I'm sure your vacation checklist contains items like your smart phone, laptop, and plenty of sunblock.  One more item you need to include on that list are these Metal Detecting Sandals from Hammacher Schlemmer, while you are taking a walk on the beach you can locate hidden treasure. 

Today is Paul Bunyan Day. Paul Bunyan was a legendary mythical lumberjack in American folklore. This I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK T-Shirt is from the Monty Python lovers at X-tremeGeek.

Pressed wildflowers not included.

Fortune cookies are an American invention. Some say the were invented in San Francisco, but it is not known for sure who the inventor was. These Fortune Cookie Soaps are infused with olive oil, aloe vera, shea butter, and a delicate orange blossom scent. Elegantly packaged in a feng shui gift box. Other shapes include Serene Buddha, Double Happiness, Yin Yang, and Asian Motif, which includes Dragon, Songbird and Twin Fish designs.

Great gift for houswarming or bridal shower. They also have singles for party favors.

Today is National Chocolate Pudding Day. Yum! The selections from Dessert of the Month Club include chocolate pudding as well as brownies, cakes, desert breads, cookies, pudding, muffins, mousses, cobblers, etc. You get two different selections each month.

Bill Cosby must be happy today. Yeah Pudding!

It has been so hot out, and the only way to cool off is to enjoy lots of frozen treats like Popsicles.  I love making my own frozen treats like Fudgesicles or Orange juice Popsicles and with these Popsicle Molds from Wrapables you can make just about any kind of Popsicle.  Today is, National Bomb Pop Day, a day that honors one of the best frozen treats ever, and don't even try making these at home because they won't taste the same.  So break out the yummy Original Bomb Pops, all the others are no match.

This funny Screw Up Fairy Plaque has so many possibilites. Great gift for a teen with an attitude and just as funny at the office over that problem copy or fax machine. Perfect for that certain friend or relative that blames all their problems on someone else. Handmade in Vermont, USA.

(Yes, Im thinking about you, MB.)

Today is Fairy Day. What most people don't realize is the Fey Folk are wild, and magical, and they are tricksters. Most people think of fairies as small winged folk, but they were originally depicted as more human-sized. In either case, it was wise not to incur their wrath and avoid places known for fairy gatherings.

This stepping stone reminds us to be respectful and Don't Piss Off the Fairies!
