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!
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?
