Ok, I’ve been a very active blogger lately, but good news is not something I can keep to myself. Tuesday, April 27th is the best day of the whole year. “Why” you may ask. Well, because, on that day you get FREE ICE CREAM. And not just any ice cream, but Ben & Jerry’s.

And, you can win free stuff too. Count me in!
And check out their thermoacoustic refrigeration prototype - an environmentally friendly, alternative refrigeration technology that chills out to sound waves.
My thoughts on whatever passes through my line of sight.

Dirt-Lovin’ Tree Hugger…
Yup, that’s me, and I’m here to wish you all a Happy Earth Day! And since I’m known as “cause girl” just want you all to take a moment and think about what an amazing world we live in. How nature is so precious and beautiful and that everything we do has an impact on future generations, from the type of car we drive (love the Prius, hate the Hummer) to the food we eat (organic, local and check out the slow food movement) to what we buy (packaging all has to go some where). If you’re interested take a minute and visit some of my favorite websites – they’ll help you put in perspective what your imprint on the world is.
www.care2.com (and environmental portal for just about anything)
www.gristmagazine.com (environmental news: “gloom and doom with a sense of humor”)
www.checnet.org (small childrens environmental health website)
And environmentalists come in all shape and sizes. Break the sterotype and realize that you don’t have to be a Deadhead hippie living in the woods to care about the fate of the planet. Just a few small things can make a difference. After all, look at me!
Peace

Kill All Computers.....
Ok, just a little rant for a few minutes.
I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to email a *&%$#@*^ file and it's too big for my email. I have compressed, I have shrunk, I have deleted emails, I have archived emails but no luck. All I want to do is send a graphic to the designer who is laying out our newsletter so I can have a bee-you-ti-ful annual fund ad. But NO, instead I feel like an idiot cause I cant get my computer to do a simple task. And I'm hungry - it's way past my lunchtime and if I don't get food soon, I'm gonna cry!
Ok, I feel better now.

Warning: Geekness Ahead…
For all you Joss Whedon Fan’s out there:
Yes, Buffy ended last year. And yes, Angel is ending this year. And yes, Firefly didn’t even make it through the season. But good news. Whedon is doing Firefly: The Movie. It's actually being called Serenity (the name of the ship for those who are not geeks like me), and all original cast members are on board. For those who want more info, check out www.fireflythemovie.com. Filming begins in June!
If you didn’t catch the series, I highly recommend it. Rent the DVD, take a few hours and watch the 16 or so episodes. A futuristic western with Whedon’s writings – it’s not just a barrel of monkey’s folks!
And speaking of Whedon – can I say I’m still upset the “killed off” Fred. Just when she and Wesley were gonna get it on. Phthhbbbttttttt.

Love at first Blog...
A friend mentioned I’ve been very lapsed in my blog lately. Which I know. Mostly because what has been fighting through my head is stuff that I don’t want out in public cause it’s work related. But, he’s right. I should not neglect those who visit this page for new and interesting commentary of my life.
I asked him for a topic, and in honor of his nagging, I will bring it here. Congratulations Brian on you upcoming wedding – you lucked out with Maureen, as she did with you. I am very, very happy for you.
And speaking of marriages, congratulations Denise & Alison on you’re marriage and for making every news channel. You go girls!
It is definitely that time in life where weddings dominate the social discussion. And I’m not criticizing or complaining – it’s just a fact. And I do enjoy it, although the “when are you getting married” question can be a bit over the top. All in my own time. Most people say life is too short, but hey, sometimes it’s too long so why rush into anything. The unmarried have their plus’ too!
