Happy Arbor Day!

Wow, can you believe it's already Arbor Day 2008? Yeah, me neither. Actually I totally forgot that Arbor Day existed until this morning when I was reading the news. Since I know so little about this particular 'holiday' I did a little reading on the subject and learned some facts about Arbor Day. Very interesting.

Of course the whole point of Arbor day is to plant a tree. If you are like me, you don't have the time to run to the nearest nursery, purchase a tree, and plant it, all the while dealing with kids. Well, I just discovered that I could plant a tree without even leaving the comfort of my own home.

The Arbor Day Foundation, Toyota and Facebook joined forces for the purpose of rebuilding forests. You can help them simply by adding this application to your facebook page and giving trees to your friends. For each gift ($1) you send, you'll be planting a real tree in a needy forest. And to help get you growing, Toyota will buy the first gift for you (first 50,000 total gifts).

For your enjoyment, I added the video below (mute the music player before starting the video). It is a clip from a 'Little Rascals' episode about Arbor Day, that I used to watch when I was a kid.

My blog 'soundtrack'

For the last 2-3 months I've been debating whether or not I should add a music player to my blog. I've been worried that my music preferences would be 'too wild' or alternative for some tastes. I finally came to the conclusion that this is my blog and I can do whatever I want with it. So, from now on, my blog will feature a play list.

If my music isn't exactly your cup of tea, feel free to pause or mute it. I won't mind.

So...yeah, it's been a while

When I first started this blog, I was determined to keep it updated on a regular basis. Yeah, that hasn't happened. Sorry about that.

I want to post some awesome story about something but...I got nothin'...So instead I will just post pictures of my kids.
