Earth Hour

If you notice the lights go out tomorrow 3.29 at 8pm don't be alarmed. Tomorrow at 8 is EARTH HOUR.

What is that?
On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.

Join people all around the world in showing that you care about our planet and want to play a part in helping to fight climate change. Don’t forget to sign up and let us know you want to join Earth Hour.

One hour, America. Earth Hour. Turn out for Earth Hour!

Tooth.

I am mourning the loss of my tooth. Number 2 to be exact. I am unsure of the exact date of passing, but I am sure it was deceased last Friday.

I had a tooth ache all last week, now I know it was my tooth, dying. Finally after I couldn't take anymore, I went to the dentist. **Side note If you know me, you know this is something that I hate more than most anything else** So, I had to have some x-rays done, and come to find out my tooth (actually only one nerve in my tooth, but what's the fun in that?) had died. AND if that's not bad enough, I now have to have a root canal.

I guess the root canal is kinda like my tooth's funeral. Its really expensive, and one it's finished it will be tucked in the back of my mouth and no one will be able to see the nice new crown it gets.

UGH.

Thanks dad for my crappy teeth.

Do you have a secret?

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.

I read through some of them sometimes and really can't believe some of the cards, people really put themselves out there, just in a very anonymous fashion. I guess all people have skeletons in the closet.. what are yours?

The HOT List..

EAT NOW!
You don't have to be Irish to get lucky (for that, see PARTY NOW!) at Murphy's on St. Patty's Day. Celebrate Ireland's patron saint with authentic treats like finnan haddie (that's smoked cod to you, lassie), Irish soda bread and lamb stew. Pair it with a pint or two (Guinness or Harp, natch) and prepare to get jiggy with traditional Irish dancers. Save a wee bit of room for the Irish whiskey bread pudding. March 17, 5PM.
Murphy's
997 Virginia Ave.
Virginia Highland
404.872.0904

SHOP NOW!
You could drive all over town in search of the newest bling (this season, it's all about big chunky stones and quirky charms). Or, better yet, go to the jewelry trunk show at Kaleidoscope featuring more than 100 pieces from Michelle Rhodes, Candace Tracy, Chris Vigliotti and Voucou. March 15, Noon-5PM. 252 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, 404.378.1214.

PARTY NOW!
Now, back to getting lucky. The Get Lucky Festival at Park Tavern (think 5,000 party-ers) is where it's pretty much a sure thing. (Shouting "Kiss me, I'm Irish" might help, too.) Or you could just enjoy the live music (Weezer-tribute band, El Scorcho and cover band, Block Party), beats from DJ Pot O' Gold and gallons of green beer. March 15, Noon-2:30AM, $20, $30 (at door), $40 (if not wearing green; price includes T-shirt).
Park Tavern
500 10th St. NE
Midtown
404.249.0001

**Just a side note**
I may be here, but not actually inside Park Tavern.. It depends on weather. I would rather play games (cornhole(i did not make that up), throw the football, baseball, softball, etc..) than be crammed inside with the 5K party-goers..

OR..
Don your beer goggles (green, of course!) and you might think U2 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are playing at The Buckhead St. Patrick's Day Festival. Tribute bands, UV and Behind the Sun, are surely the next best thing! March 15, 6PM, $5 (advance), $10-$15. Andrew Square parking lot between E. Andrew Dr. and Irby Ave., Buckhead, 404.869.1132.

GET SMART NOW!
Forget about that goofy groundhog and his shadow issues. We know spring has sprung when we get a peek at some daffodils (they're not the birth flower of March for nothin'!). Feel the warming trend for yourself at the Atlanta Botanical Garden's annual Daffodil Show where hundreds of this chipper flower will be on display. Everything you always wanted to know about Narcissus (its botanical name, natch) from on-hand experts and educational seminars. March 15-16, 9AM-5PM, $12.

Split..

Sometimes you just gotta let your inner devil come on out to play..

The List..

I was recently reading an article in some magazine, about how we optimists are always being disappointed by things. When you always look for the bright side in everything, lets face it.. you are setting yourself up for disappointment.. But that's why we should all come up with our own 'list' of things, people, places, etc.. that never disappoint.
So I figured I should prob come up with my own 'list' so that when I get disappointed, I will know where I can turn :)

.Mall-There is just something about retail therapy that never lets me down
.Orbit gum - Mint Mojito. I just love it.
.Shoes, to be specific my gray high heels, i just love them - remember, no matter how fat or skinny you get, shoes will always fit
.Zoe - She always loves me no matter what, she always listens to me, never talks back or complains, and she is always there
.80s music - no matter what, it just makes me happier
.LT - I love friends that don't take work to have, she is just so light hearted, she always can make me laugh, just love her.
.Lillie - If I ever need to talk about anything, she is there. We have the best talks ever, she prob knows WAY too much about me
.Katie - She will always be there through thick and thin and I know that..
.Running - Even thought I don't do it as much as I should, it makes me feel better about myself
.Family - they are my rock, always there for me
.Dancing by myself - Who doesn't love to boogy
.Ferrero Rocher - Oh the hazelnut goodness..
.Beach - I love the ocean.. it just amazes me.
.Stars - The thing I miss most about living in the country..

so you know..

.. you go out too much where there are pics of you all over the internet..
i'll keep em coming.. they are everywhere..
