Save the Frogs Day

Well, today, I was doing to regular morning routine of checking up on Twitter and one of my Tweeps (Meaning: Friends on Twitter); Perpetual Kid (who happens to work for a cool company:http://www.perpetualkid.com) was mentioning to everyone that today is SAVE THE FROGS DAY!

That alone caught my eye because I have loved frogs for as long as I remember. (I even have a cool frog tattoo on my foot)So, I decided to check out just what the day is all about. I went to the website and found out that Dr. Kerry Kriger founded an organization to raise the awareness of just how cool frogs are and what they mean to us. Did you know that frogs are the most threatened group of animals on the planet? Well, they are. And did you also know that some types of frogs that are found in Australia have skin secretions that completely inhibit HIV?

Anyway, I was glad that I decided to go to the website and find out more about this cute little creature. I knew I liked them for some other reason than they were just cute! :) Anyway, here is your educational post for today. Now, go visit Save The Frogs and learn more. (You can click on this blog's title and it will take you there)

Also, go to Perpetual Kid and check out their cool frog stuff like this Frog Fortune Teller :

Did we skip Spring?

I have lived in the South (in different parts of Alabama) my whole life! Now, don't get me wrong, I am a summer kind of girl, but seriously? It is HOT already and it is only April. Yes, that's right APRIL, not AUGUST! If it is this hot now, I can only imagine what it is going to be like in the summer! I was not expecting to have the heat this early, but it is here and it seems as if it is here to stay.

Anyway, despite the already climbing temperatures, I went to a baseball game last night. And I must say, the weather was perfect. I have always liked baseball, but sometimes it can drag on. The point of me mentioning the baseball game was not for me to tell you about the weather or the length of the sport, but to question the choosing of some of the team's mascots. Ours is the Biscuits. Yes, the Biscuits, as in the stable carb for a Southern breakfast table. He even has butter as a tongue and his name is Monty. I think every time I go to a game, I question where this came from and find it so funny. You may not get the humor until you go to a game and see these "Biscuits" everywhere. At my first game, they even threw them out to the crowd.


The mascot is even this ant eater looking thing named Moe the Biscuit Eater. Yes, I am serious. So, today I have been wondering why in the world would you ever do this to a team of professional athletes, not to mention the city that hosts them? Well, today I found my answer. Blame Mr. Tripp Vickers who entered the name "Montgomery Biscuits" into a naming contest and was chosen! He even went so far as to say that the name Biscuits would be a good choice because "It’s playful and fun, plus who doesn’t like Biscuits? All Alabamians like ‘em." You just want to say, Yeah, we like them on the breakfast table, but not on the baseball field. Come on!

Well, sorry about my rant on the Montgomery Biscuits. They are a great team, and have done well in the 6 seasons they have been in Montgomery. They were even named Southern League Champions two years in a row. At least their colors are good. (Blue and Gold)

Maiden Voyage

Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is my first post. I have been wanting to create a blog for the longest time, because I read so many, and I have so much to say. I think we can always learn from others, so why not post my life lessons so maybe someone else can benefit from them?

I am hoping that this blog will take its own direction. The inspirations for the title of this blog came from many. One I would like to share is the song which shares a similar name by Jason Mraz:

Jason Mraz
Details In The Fabric lyrics

Songwriters: Mraz, Jason; Wilson, Dan
Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold
