Black Russian Bagel

Black Russian Bagel (def): A pumpernickel everything bagel. Absolutely delicious in every way.

I love this bagel. Within this breakfast treat, there is the pumpernickel which is brown and hearty and wonderful and the everything-ness of an everything bagel. They complement each other perfectly and make an already amazing carb-y treat even more amazing. 

After momentarily distracting you with pictures of food, I feel it is my duty to warn you that today is none other than

Friday the 13th.

Don’t break any mirrors or open umbrellas inside. Avoid ladders and black cats. Or live dangerously but I did warn you. And speaking of scary days…

tomorrow is Saturday the 14th. Also known as Valentine’s Day.*

*Remember Bigfoot’s Birthday? Because unknown online strangers still visit this page every day.  

The day of bad luck followed by the the high-pressure, high-stakes, potentially loneliest day of the year??

Be nice 2015. 

I’ve been known to give a good pep talk in my day. Unfortunately there isn’t much that can be done for the 13th. Honestly, if I were you I’d do some risky things and take some chances. You can always blame the “bad energy” for your mistakes and embarrassing moments later on. The 14th, on the other hand, can be harder to handle. But people, it’s a day for CELEBRATING LOVE! Who doesn’t love love? Singles should buy themselves some flowers and get drunk with other singles. Couples should do something fancy or make a picnic, open a bottle of wine and play this new game. Married? Go through the whole day without blaming each other for anything and maybe buy yourself a pair of fuzzy slippers. 

And specifically for you, my dear reader, I wish that someday you find love with another person who is the everything to your pumpernickel–as complete as a Black Russian bagel. 

xoxo

Bigfoot’s Birthday Celebration

Posted in ThoughtsTagged , , , 5 Comments

Five weeks ago, on February 14th, I celebrated a very special day. I dressed in red, ate chocolate covered strawberries, and ended the night with a glass or two of red wine at the bar with three close friends. Each of us were there for the same reason, to pay tribute to a mystical idea which deserves yearly recognition. This event was Bigfoot’s Birthday.

Now some may have celebrated Valentine’s Day, a lesser known holiday having something to do with a saint, construction paper, and half eaten heart-shaped boxes of stale chocolates. For the majority of us though, Bigfoot’s birthday was just another reminder of how a wonderfully hairy individual has continued to elude the majority of us for one more year. And while Bigfoot Birthday cards have not hit Hallmark shelves, be on the lookout for some incredible party ideas.

The idea for Bigfoot’s Birthday started while eating dinner on February 13th. Many people are sick of the love conversation. They are angered that one day a year they must be reminded on how alone they are, how the whole world is sharing cupcakes and holding hands as starry-eyed lovers. I paused the conversation to disagree.

“For me, the way I feel about love is like the way I feel about Bigfoot. I’ve personally never seen him, but he doesn’t make me angry or anything. Maybe he’s real, maybe he’s not. So Valentine’s Day is like Bigfoot’s Birthday. Even if you don’t know it’s real, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate.”

And Bigfoot’s Birthday was born. Granted, Valentine’s Day was a couple of weeks ago and many of you may be disappointed that you did not know about this holiday alternative. Never fear! Another benefit about Bigfoot’s Birthday is the speculation as the actual day. To my knowledge, no exact date has been determined which means every day is cause for celebration. So put on a hairy brown suit, turn on Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot, and clink glasses in honor of the camera-shy natural beauty.
