Passed on from jenhime:

Women’s shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly, and, while agencies generally assist with everyday necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, this most basic need is often overlooked. You and I may take our monthly trips down the feminine care aisle for granted, but, for women in shelters, a box of tampons is five dollars they can’t spare. Here’s some good news: you can help us contribute to rectifying this situation by making a virtual donation below!

For each virtual donation, Seventh Generation will send a pack of organic cotton tampons or chlorine-free pads to a shelter in your state.

I ran this through snopes.com and it is legit. Pass it on.

Karl and I will be getting married on Saturday, April 1, 2006. <3

No, it's not a joke. :P

Okay, so I bought my wedding dress! It's absolutely gorgeous.

Only problem? It's been discontinued.

The reason that this is a problem is that I wanted to send a picture to my mom back east for her to see, and now I can't seem to find a picture of it at all. :( As soon as a gown is discontinued, it is removed from their website.

I've checked all the David's Bridals around here (where I bought it from), and they just released new catalogs, and don't have any of the old ones left. I've scoured eBay and Froogle and Google and anything else I could think of with absolutely no luck.

If anyone knows anyone who picked up a Spring 2005 or Fall 2005 David's Bridal catalog, I would be most appreciative if I could get a scan of my dress or have the catalog mailed to me (if they are finished with it). If anyone wants to try their local David's Bridal and see if they have any old catalog's left, that would be appreciated as well. I would reimburse you for shipping of course if that's an issue.

Thanks!

Not the best quality photo... it was hard to get a good one. So sparkly that the camera didn't know what to focus on.

Just wanted to let everyone know...

Karl and I are now engaged! :D I will try to post a picture of the ring later. It's absolutely gorgeous!

No date set yet, but we'll let you know when we figure it out. ^_^

I am enjoying this game immensely. Simple yet not. Nice thing is it remembers what level you left off on, so you can continue later and don't have to play all in one sitting.

Kuro should be at the vet right now. Today he gets fixed.

I don't know why, but I'm super nervous. I always get worried when they put someone under for surgeries and whatnot. I'm always frightened that they won't come out of it. I guess that fear has now expanded to my pets.

I'm going to be a nervous wreck today until I get the call from Karl to tell me he's okay. :(

*UPDATE*

Kuro is out of surgery and awake. Yay! He's doing fine. ^_^

Karl is picking him up at 3:30 to bring him home. :)

I know, I know. Not a very original name. :(

I blame it on having to rush off to work. :)
