*Some sources say this is National Chocolate Day. Since my original, and most-used, source said that was on the 18th AND today, methinks somebody goofed. So I'm making up for National Cheeseburger Day, which probably was actually on the 18th. Better late...

FYI: 30 September will probably be the last day I post all the 'this day is' info. With a move coming up - hopefully soonly! - and the holidays rapidly approaching, I'm finding it harder to keep up with everything. I'm missing way too much beauty sleep. And I need all of that I can get!  In case anybody wants to keep up with the daily celebrations, I'll post links to my sources sometime next week.

God bless y'all!
Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
