March 9: National Barbie Day, National Crabmeat Day, National Meatball Day, and National Get Over it Day.

🍁National Barbie Day! March 9th (1959) is the anniversary of the day the Barbie doll made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York in 1959. Barbie was one of the first toys to have a marketing strategy based extensively on television advertising. It is estimated that over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in over 150 countries. Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, and she was created by Ruth Handler. Ken Carson, Barbie’s boyfriend, was introduced by Mattel in 1961. We all know a little girl that loves Barbie dolls and has at least one doll, if not a whole collection of them. Wish her a Happy Barbie Day!!

🦀National Crab Meat Day is an American food holiday. This day is for all crab meat lovers to celebrate their favorite crustacean. Crab meat is a healthy choice until you add all that melted butter. There are 1.5 million tons of crab consumed every year around the world.

🍁National Meatball Day! It is not clear how this day got started, but who can resist the idea of celebrating National Meatball Day? There are many different ways to celebrate meatballs: 🍂Spaghetti and meatballs, 🍂Swedish Meatballs, 🍂Meatball Sub, 🍂Meatball Pizza, 🍂Turkey Meatballs, 🍂Lamb Meatballs, 🍂Porcupine Meatballs (made with rice) and the list goes on and on. There is a restaurant in New York that has 54 different kinds of meatballs. Not only do meatballs allow for variety, but they move from appetizer to side dish to the main dish quite easily. Meatballs can be made the night before and put in the crockpot, or days before and kept in the freezer.

🍁National Get Over It Day! Just as it implies, National Get Over It Day is to do exactly that, GET OVER IT! Get Over It Day was created by Jeff Goldblatt in 2005 after having trouble getting over an ex-girlfriend.

I guess I will have "to get over it", that Barbie has her only day.😀 Happy Birthday Barbie! I may have to have my hubby pick me up some crab salad for the crabmeat theme.😍 And stop by my favorite Italian restaurant for spaghetti and meatballs. Yummy!

I love the waterfalls as well and the old things of the past. Especially if it's an old west (ghost) town with people dress in the time period.

Sending warm hugs!🐶🐶💕❄️🌨❄️💕
