Tickle Me Tuesday...Guess What Day It Is?

 

You would be hardpressed to find a more fun and appropriate day for the dog days of summer. And yet, we celebrate two fun things on August 6...Wiggle wiggle your toesYour Toes Day and Root Beer Float Day,

 

Who cares about the origins of these days?  And, you don’t have to take the point too literally. Yes, take your shoes off and wiggle your toes...yes, have a root beer float! YUM

 

But more to the point… take some time to access your inner child. Do something that is totally not work-related. 

 

Go outside for lunch or afternoon break.

Don’t like root beer floats?  Doesn’t matter...be daring and have a scoop of ice cream!

 

ice cream floatTake a walk at the beach, at the park, or even around your neighborhood. 

 

Go outside for a picnic lunch.
Call your friend you’ve been meaning to call and meet for lunch at your favorite place. 

 

Go on...wiggle those toes!

Kathy,

Sounds like a great idea, we just may carve out some time for the beach.  We just got back from Beverly Hills from our monthly meeting.  A

I did have some root beer today. Sadly, there was no scoop of ice cream.

Hi, Kathy Streib 

I know that today is National Root Beer Float Day and A&W will give you a small root beet float for free if you show up and ask.

That is what I am going to do!

Kathy I don't know about Wiggle Your Toes Day???

I have seen some toes that are better off covered up by socks and shoes

Kathy:

I didn't know about either of these days! But with only 1 appointment, I have been home in my bare footsies a good part of the day.

George Souto DOES make a good point. LOL

Sam Shueh I love root beer floats but haven't had one in years. Who knows....maybe soon. 

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR it was a time for spirits to be lifted.

Nina Hollander I'm a flip flop/sandal gal and while I may not have ice cream today, I plan on it this weekend.

Barbara Todaro Don't you love feeling the sand underneath your feet and wiggling your toes in it. 

Brian England I'll bet that between you and me we may own only half a dozen shoes and 3 times as many sandals or flip flops.

Grant Schneider hope you didn't get the bad weather that I heard was down there. I had weather alerts on my phone. 

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty for me the only thing that beats a root beer float is a chocolate malt!!!

Lottie Kendall I remember taking my friend's daughter and her friend for root beer floats when I picked them up from school. 

Sharon Lee I hope that you had a chance to wiggle your toes!

Will Hamm Root beer floats make me feel like a kid again.

Sheila Anderson Whatever you did, I hope you had some fun!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 that makes it more fun when you can meet with people like that!!! And we all know how much fun you are!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel then you deserve some toe wiggling time.

Roy Kelley Maybe this weekend you can add that scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

John Juarez I wish we had one near us. When I used to go I remember mama burgers and teen burgers and the floats. 

George Souto that is so funny but you're right. Something happens to our toes as we age!

Jeff Dowler, CRS I'm laughing too! Years ago I remember looking down at the feet of a group of mature women. It was then that I swore I would never forego my pedicures. 

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® we have to. Life is fleeting and we have to schedule in some goe wiggle time.

OK, that does it.  It's 6:45pm here, but there is still time for me to run down to A & W Rootbeer and get a rootbeer float.

My granddaughter (5) invites me to get pedicures with her since we went  together last year . Now I feel better to wiggle those toes in the sand...

Morning Kathy.

I haven't had a root beer in ages, I will wiggle my toes in the sands of Orange Beach in February.

I love root beer floats...had one not too long ago. Another way to "float" is with orange soda and vanilla ice cream.

So sorry that I missed these two very important days!  A root beer float would be a wonderful way to say goodbye to summer!
