My favorite day for February is not February 14th. However, I love February 15th and the days following when I can buy leftover Valentine’s Day candy at a discount.
Perhaps my favorite day in February is the 13th, which has been deemed ‘National Jamie Day,’ a day to celebrate with all people named Jamie. I love this day because my child is named Jamie.
February 8th was ‘Laugh and Get Rich Day.’ We had many laughs through the years, but we’re still on hold for that ‘Get Rich’ part. Fun is better than wealth, anyway.
February 13th is ‘Get a Different Name Day.’ My name is Lisbeth, and so many people are trying to give me a new name. Please keep the ‘z’ and the ‘a’ out of my name, and return the ‘s’ to me. One of the examples below shows how, in the same contest, my name was spelled correctly in one spot, then incorrectly in another spot. Below is a small sampling of misspellings of my name.
On the other hand, when my name is spelled correctly on an award, I am full of glee. (And how are the photos below for a humble brag?) And if someone cannot spell my name, I can always answer to “Queen.” Ha-ha!
Natural Public Sleeping Day is February 28th. Have you ever fallen asleep in public?
This is a small sampling of the February holidays. Whatever you want to celebrate, have fun! Let me know in the comments if you have any particular favorite holidays.
I understand about misspelled names. My last name is Van Vleet. Two capital V's with a space in between. (LOL, you can probably see this when you receive my comment.) Anyway, it's my husband's last name, and I kinda inherited it when we married. I've seen it misspelled Van Fleet (with an F) more times than I could tell you. Often with no space. I'll never forget the time I was sitting with a check-in person at a hospital before outpatient surgery. She misspelled my last name with the F. I corrected her. Then she asked, "Are you sure that's how you spell it?" Oh my! Really?
A fun post, Lizbeth--oops, I mean Lisbeth! :)
I understand the difficulty with people trying to morph Lisbeth into something closer to Elizabeth. I wonder how people who can distinguish l from r change my name, Kathleen, into Katherine--especially when speaking.
