The Protect IP Act

Those of you who have Pinterest might have seen this pop up when you log into your account. I just wanted to create a little blog to express my gratitude and respect for what they are doing. 

The pop up states what the "Protect IP Act" will do if it is passed. [Although I don't have a picture of the pop-up, you can find info about the Senate Bill 968 here]

There are 2 options to close the pop-up, 1 is a "take action now" button and the other simply says "no thanks". I clicked the take action now button. 

It brought me to a webpage that says in bold letters:

 

SAY "NO" TO THE PROTECT IP ACT.

 Guys, this is so great. You put in your phone number and zip code, then someone calls you to discuss the details of the bill and how it is an infringement on American rights. After you understand the Bill, they connect you to your local senate.

That is amazing. There are a few other websites (Wikipedia, Call the Senate) doing the same or similar things to stand up against this Bill.

Happiest Birthday Yet!

I had such an incredible birthday! Thanks to all my friends for making me feel so cared about and so special on Saturday! ( & a capitol F for the ones who didn't!!!)

Here are a few of the pictures from my party:

Birthday!

My birthday is coming up this Saturday on January 14th! I can't believe it's already my birthday again. This year seemed to go by so fast! I guess that's what happens when you're having fun.
This year's events will be a party at my house with the theme of You Are What You Drink. We were originally going to go to Las Vegas to celebrate but some unexpected expenses came up so we picked this theme because we figured it was relatively cheap and easy to throw together in a week's notice. I'm super excited, although I still don't know what drink I'm going to be. I was thinking Sex on the Beach but realized I don't have a cute swimsuit. I'll have to look into rush shipping if I can actually find one I like online. I still need to figure out how to decorate the house too.

If anyone wants to get me something for my birthday but you're lost on what to get, here is my Amazon Wishlist. I'm still kind of updating as I think of things, but these are what I can think of off the top of my head. I also want to mention that I love gift cards and I don't think its impersonal or tacky to give them.

I'll be half way to 50 in 3 days! Daaaaang.

Eat Healthy 2012!

Anyone's New Year Resolution getting healthy and losing weight? I seriously suggest watching the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. This documentary changed the way I look at a lot of things and really showed me the importance of fruits and veggies in our diets. Not to mention it was one of the few documentaries that really held my interest and motivated me to be healthier!
