Fun Observances

Make Your Bed Day

When you wake up on September 11, make a point to make your bed because it is Make Your Bed Day!

This unofficial holiday with unknown origins encourages people to make and tidy up their beds in the mornings.

Making up the bed or making the bed are expressions used to refer to the act of fixing the bed to look like it hasn't been slept in. This is usually done in the morning.

Sleep Better

Studies show that inculcating the habit of making beds every morning can increase productivity during the day and can make people happier. The idea is that the organization that goes into making beds can spill over to the tasks a person does during the rest of the day. The act also gives people some time before they start their day to meditate over about what they want to achieve during the day.

A clean and made up bed also helps people sleep faster and better.

How to Celebrate?

• Make your bed – it take a few minutes and keeps your sleeping areas tidy.
• If you were looking to update your bed and your bed linen, today is the day. Nothing is more fun than making your bed with newly washed, starched and ironed bed linens.

Did You Know...

...that French king Louis the XIV is thought to have owned 413 beds?

We were at a red light when a car pulled up, its music blasting.

“He’ll be deaf before he’s 25,” I said.

“It won’t help us,” my wife replied. “He’ll only turn it up.”

One hard thing to explain to teens is how legitimately exciting it used to be when someone would wheel in an overhead projector.

While he was visiting, my father asked for the password to our Wi-Fi.

“It’s taped under the modem,” 
I told him.

After three failed attempts to log on, he asked, “Am I spelling this right?

T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-M?”

On Facebook, the English 
language has few friends. 
Three examples:

Post: I can’t stand people 
that don’t know the difference between your and you’re. There so dumb.

Response: Their, their, calm down.

 

Post: Is it me or does nobody have manors these days?

Response: I just have a normal house.

 

Post: I do not have patients for stupid today.

Response: Patience.

I know it is a repeat. My only excuse is that it is in Hungarian this time.

I'll give you the translation tomorrow.

Okay, one more time: It doesn't cool faster, if you blow on it!
