Are you going to be visiting your local Dairy Queen today? If not, you should be. Today (August 9th) is Miracle Treat Day. Dairy Queen has teamed up with the Children’s Miracle Network. Dairy Queen will be donating all of the proceeds from the sale of blizzards today to the Children’s Miracle Network. (Proceeds are the sale price minus the cost of ingredients.) If that doesn’t sound like the perfect reason to go get some ice cream, I don’t know what is. I’m going to swing by DQ on my way home from work– I’m just trying to decide what flavor I’d like.

Visit the Miracle Treat Day page to see if there is a participating Dairy Queen in your area. If there is, please go buy a blizzard! The kids, and your tummy will thank you!

I have a new way to waste time at work. That would be the Pirates application on Facebook. It’s actually ridiculously simple, and kind of stupid, but I keep playing anyways. I’m currently a Level 17 Barbary pirate, which means nothing to you if you are not also a Facebook Pirate. Though, if you want to be– let me know, and I’ll recruit ya! Each “day” is one hour, so I have about 10 more minutes before I can do anything else with my pirates. It’s a sickness.

Also amusing me is watching my Feedburner count jump up and down. I think something’s not quite right there. Maybe it’s just me, but I highly doubt 5 people are subscribing and unsubscribing every day.
