October 5, 2013: So Apple Betty Day is to celebrate the baked dish, which seems pretty similar to a cobbler. I picked the most well-known Betty I could think of to be an apple. And in the process of researching the color of her dress, I discovered that there’s a thriving trade in “sexy Betty Rubble” costumes for Halloween. Sigh. Anyhoo, it’s also World Card Making Day, the first Saturday of October, kicking off the prime card-giving quarter of the year. There’s actually a website for the holiday, but I’ll refrain from linking because of the copious pop-under ads. But that holiday goes hand-in-hand with Do Something Nice Day (which should really be every day, you monsters.)
