hungry fella?
What’s more exhilarating than a weeknight birthday dinner party? A nonsensical one.
Without warning, proclaim today [insert name] day. Examples: “Kaitlin” Day. “Brian” Day. “Man who sits on the corner who I call Ralph” Day.
About a year ago after Kyle and I moved in together, I made up Kyle day. It had been a long month, and we were in the middle of dark/cold/exhausting February. I found a stupid card, bought him a shirt, found his favourite childhood treat (Dunkaroos) and wrapped them all up. I think I might have even blown up balloons. Then – I came home and proclaimed today Kyle day…
What was Kyle’s new favourite day? Not Roger day – that’s for sure.
The point is that most of us are living under a Monday to Friday tarp*. We need to feel joy on any given Thursday. Burst the bubble with an [insert name] day.
Tips for success:
- Pick a person who would be really awkward/deserving of their own day
- Buy a card/cake/thing
- Call some friends
- Keep it a surprise
- Ensure they are free tonight (that should be bullet #1 in retrospect…)
- Text/email/bbm them the following obscure message: Happy [insert name] Day
Enjoy a couple hours of life after work tonight.
Notes:
* – credit to Dallas for coining this feeling as a “tarp”. Genius.
