Hallmark Holiday:
Different Colored Eyes Day
About 1% of the population has Heterochromia, or different colored eyes. It's variety like this that makes us all unique; so if you know someone who blinks with one blue and one brown, don't ostracize them. Today's the day we can all see eye to eye' to other colored eye.

National Pecan Pie Day
Pecan pie is the super-sweet and crunchy treat that's a holiday favorite and an American classic. The earliest version of this recipe comes from New Orleans, where French settlers sought ways to use the pecan, which was native to the area. Now, Southern orchards produce 250 million pounds of pecans a year to satisfy our cravings. Today, let's see if we can eat 100 million pounds worth. That'll still leave plenty for next Thanksgiving.

Simplicity Day
We celebrate the simple things in life on the birthday of Henry David Thoreau, who wrote of simple living in his book Walden, the memoir of his time spent living at one with nature at Walden Pond. Today, drop everything and spend some time relaxing in nature. No, you can't bring your laptop.

I pinned some Pecan Pie recipes on Pinterest this morning from food.com http://www.food.com/food-holidays/national-pecan-pie-day-0712?soc=edfh_pin
Headed out for lunch before our meeting at Panera Bread. .
Signed my signature so many times my hand hurts.
A little shopping at Staples.
A little FroYo from the SweetFrog.
Back at the apt every one else heads out for Macy's at the mall that is mostly empty.
