Happy Birthday!

1. Make one of your meals vegan: for dinner, I will be having brown rice and vegetables.
2. Watch two of the recommended videos: Can’t do this, as I am at work. But I did order “Earthlings” from Netflix, which I think will arrive today.
3. Order a vegetarian starter kit: done. I chose COK.
4. Donate to a nonprofit working for the animals: done. I am now the proud sponsor of Snortin’ Norton of Longmeadow Rescue Ranch.
5. Buy one of the recommended books: I can’t do this, because I already have a million books at home waiting to be read. However, I am currently reading “The Meat You Eat.” Next might be "The Pig Who Sang to the Moon." I started it, but got distracted.
6. Write to someone about AR issues: Done. Emailed the bro, who is still a vegetarian by the way.
7. Download a cruelty-free guide: I was actually looking at the company lists yesterday. I wish this was easier. I wish each product had a “yes” or “no” labeled on it. Many “companies” are owned by others, and I find it totally confusing.
8. Try a new food: I could do this, as my coworker brought in filled croissants. However, I doubt they are vegan. I’ll have to save number 8 for another day.
9. Visit Happy Cow: Fayetteville is not listed, but Raleigh (an hour away) has some listings.
10. Purchase or build a birdfeeder: We have one. I’ll put more seed in. We also have a squirrel feeder but I guess they’re afraid of Dakota…
11. Check out the background posts in the About section: Done it.
12. Visit HumaneMyth.org and Humane Facts: Done, but there’s a lot of info. I’ll have to visit again (and again).

Happy happy happy late bday!! I'm going to go eat a slice of vegan bday cake in your honor. MMmm, good.

Another idea for people: subscribe to VegNews Magazine!! The newest issue just arrived and I'm so excited to go read it :)

I think I'll go send a little contribution to Vegan Outreach in your honor, because you are suchhhh an awesome vegan outreacher (and because they need money, badly)! If I wasn't already vegan before I met you I definately would be after reading this spectastic blog! Rock on girl :)
