(Blank) of the Day

In honor of today being International Talk Like a Pirate Day,  I decided to offer a few of my own  "of the day"  favorites.

1. Official SAT Question of the Day.  Bonus: answer the question and it will tell you if you are correct!


2. Word of the Day. Merriam Webster Online offers a new word  every day.  Many of the words you will already know (if you, too,  had a mother who was also a Scrabble fiend),  others  will surprise you.  Each has a little speaker phone icon next to it so you may hear it pronounced correctly.  I'm waiting for the day they do "zoology".


3. Cool Site of the Day is always interesting  and you get to give it a thumbs up or down.  Participatory web surfing is good!


4. Quilt of the Day is usually featured on the Quilt Index Facebook page, but this link to their homepage always has a new quilt shown every day, and always something  to admire and covet.

There are scads of "of the day" sites, many for jokes, scripture, recipes - you name it,  it's got an "of the day".

As the weather gets cooler, I pull out my old videos and DVD's of holiday movies.  I pop one in when I'm in for a long stretch of sewing or ironing.  Right now I'll watching "ELF"  and it  reminds me of my own personal favorite "of the day" thingie.   "Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf"  day is -  I think -  on Saturday, December 18th of this year.

You gotta love it - and you gotta do it!
