So, yes, special day today:  

Earth Day - Remember to be kind to your planet today (and every day) :)  
[Do you guys get sick of my pro-environment environmental messages?  Either way, I couldn't care less.  Mainly asking to see who's reading. ;)]

And my birthday!  :party:
Today's my 24th.  I don't know exactly when it is that I'm supposed to start being sad about getting older...soon, probably.
On my agenda today:  clean my house, make myself a cake, probably make dinner (unless my boyfriend gets home early enough to do it), open presents.
I also planned on getting my hair cut, but it probably won't happen today.  Definitely by Sunday, though.  I am donating it to Locks of Love. ^-^  Exciting.

Okay, well that's it, really.

You can never be too pro-environment as far as I'm concerned! After all, we do depend on the environment for our survival. Why is it so hard for so many people to get that?
