    Sweet!

    July 22, 2011 is Hammock Day
    Picture this: it's mid-July, the sun shines and you rest on a hammock, completely relaxed. This is the essence of Hammock Day.

    Today’s reason to celebrate reminds us to slow down, breathe easy and enjoy these beautiful summer months. Though its exact origins are unknown, it is said that hammocks originated hundreds of years ago in South America. Allegedly, the journals of Christopher Columbus provide the first documentation of the hammock. However, some sources attribute this invention to the Ancient Greeks. One thing is for sure—hammocks have always been symbols of leisure.

    Today, take a few minutes to sit back and unwind on a hammock. Don’t have one? No problem! Just grab some sturdy fabric and rope—you can make yourself one in no time. Happy Hammock Day!

    National Hammock Day, can I call it International Hammock Day just to feel better? Or do we have to get our own day?

    Today is the gf's b-day and I just told her it was National Hammock Day too. She said, "If you play around with your hammock today then it's going to be my birthday present." I'll celebrate it in spirit.

    But then you'd have to buy a NEW one! Yay!
