Going Topless!

It was a hot 4th of July but still pretty enough to swim around in my pool! Here are some fun times with Terry and Rai at the pool. We had a pretty eventful time. I had to take a stab at teaching Terry how to swim. It was pretty crazy! We started off with level 1 swimming class (usually for 5 years olds). First, we blew bubbles in the water. Then, we tried some floating on our backs. His feet would not leave the floor of the pool and then we did some kicking while holding onto the side. We were going to try some gliding but he could not get seem to let go of the side or walk 2 feet away from the side! Just picture all of this with my brother making crazy funny comments while Terry had his swimming lessons. LOL :)

The Bama Green Project

What goes around does come around! There's no doubt that recycling is an important environmental stewardship effort which reaps many benefits key to the long-term sustainability of our planet.

Did you know that...
-Recycling a soda can saves 96% of the energy used to make a can from ore, produces 95% less air pollution and 97% less water pollution?
-One recycled aluminum can is equivalent in energy to a half a can full of gasoline?
-If every American household recycled just one out of every ten discarded HDPE bottles (used in milk jugs and most shampoo and detergent bottles), it would keep 200,000,000 pounds of plastic out of landfills.
-Please look for the Bama Green, So Much to Save customized recycling stations on the Dave Matthews Band tour this summer, beginning with the July 11, 2008 show at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL. You'll find the So Much to Save stations at the majority of the remaining shows this summer in the parking lots or at entrances of the venue. Every time you recycle a bottle or can at a So Much to Save location, you'll receive a ballot card with a unique code and a specific website address. Visit the website address after the show, enter your code and you'll be able to vote for your 3 favorite songs from the set list for that show. The winning songs will be included on a live digital album scheduled to be released at the end of the tour.

Dave Matthews Band, MusicMatters, Reverb and the Bama Green Project thank you in advance for assisting with the recycling effort and continued greening of the DMB 2008 tour!

Grand Canyon in 3D

While on vacation this past week in Myrtle Beach, SC Michael and I didn't miss our chance at catching some flicks.  Here is one in particular on the documentary side.  Here is one I would to add to my list of documentaries to watch (a plus, music by DMB!) -

Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk

My New BFF, Wii Fit

All of a sudden I have a few hater friends.  One called me obscenities online and another told me they hated me.  It's all because of my stroke of luck in my favorite store....... I walked through Target a couple of weeks ago looking for batteries and came upon one Wii Fit.  I looked around to see if someone was going to run past me to get it or knock me out because I was standing right in front of it.  Then I walked away and called my hubby and he said get it.  I was thinking...this thing just came out and I know how popular it is...why is it right here?  A guy in a red shirt walks up to me and asks, "Can I help you with anything?"  Looking at him in a little of bit of shock I said, "Can I have that Wii Fit?"  He said, "We have one? Wait that must've just got here.  It wasn't here 15 minutes ago."  Because I had some things in my cart he said that he would walk me back to the front to purchase it.  I had to be escorted with my Wii Fit.  I was actually kind of glad just so I didn't have to worry about people peering into my cart and thinking they could swipe it from me.  Since then I have logged over 6 hours of having fun on my Wii Fit (when I get the chance)!  Michael will get a chance to play someday.  I love this thing!
