I just got an e-mail from Oceana about the above video and their Valentine’s Day campaign. (I’m still not sure if animals acting natural qualifies as not safe for work. I guess it depends on where you work.)Take a minute to send an e-card to a friend or loved one, print out some Valentines for kids, shop for a bouquet that will benefit Oceana, or make a donation in honor of someone special. Trying to save the ocean in the name of love seems pretty darn romantic, if you ask me.

I get so excited when I find gluten-free foods that are so good even my wheat-eating husband likes them. It’s frustrating when half the food in our house is inedible to me, but Erewhon Rice Twice Cereal is so good that seeing my husband’s boxes of granola and raisin bran on top of the fridge don’t make me sad anymore.

Did you have a family member who sat in the corner at a party or holiday event, carefully folding up wrapping paper for future use? Maybe it was a grandma or great aunt who lived through the Depression and learned to save anything that was usable, maybe it was just someone who was thrifty and knew how to pinch pennies.
