According to the all knowing internet, February is:
American Heart Month
Black History Month
LBGT History Month
Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
But there are others too!
National Potato Lovers Month, I could get in on that one, I love potatoes in just about every shape and size, cooked 1000 different ways!
National Pet Dental Health Month, because I guess if you don't have a Valentine, you're getting up close with your pet a lot and breath matters.
National Children's Dental Health Month, because everyone sets a resolution to get those kids to brush, but forgets by February?
National Gum Disease Awareness Month, man, the dentists are busy this month!
National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, I would think all dating violence is important to be aware of, but maybe that's just me.
Missouri Earthquake Awareness Month, I didn't even know they HAD earthquakes in Missouri, so I guess I needed this one.
And let's not forget National Condom Month, probably for the desperate Valentine's hookups when you forgot Pet Dental Health Month.
But not every cause gets a whole month. Some get a week: World Salt Awareness Week, Burn Awareness Week, Random Acts of Kindness Week, and National Eating Disorders Week (for those post V-Day binge & purges).
And of course there are days. Give kids a smile day (probably hand in hand with kids' dental health), National Condom Awareness Day (just happens to be the 14th, just sayin'), and Love your Pet day.
Now, I have a heart shaped fake flower wreath on my door for Valentines day. Maybe I should hang some condom wrapped potatoes and toothbrushes off of it...
