Go Green

So I'm not a huge 'tree hugger' or anything but I also don't think it is a bad idea to take care of our planet either so here is a list of things I put together that I am going to start doing:



1. Recycle -this is actually easy for me to do since Mike has a garbage can and a recycle bin that get picked up every week - but I still have the bad habit of throwing everything in the garbage. :o)



2. Use junk mail to make your grocery/ to do lists on instead of just throwing them away , does anyone know how to just make it stop coming though???



3. Use cloth bags to shop with instead of using paper or plastic - I just bought a package of 12 so if anybody wants some let me know 'cause I have extra :o)



4. Try to make as many purchases as possible that are natural and organic products and fresh produce - it is a little more expensive (around $1.00-$3.00 more) but it is also healthier for you anyway (and I find that everything in the cities is more expensive :o)



5. along with # 2, try to use less paper, now, the Internet and computer is the obvious answer but I find that I tend to like the more personal touch on occasions such as cards and journals - but you can buy cards and paper/notebooks/journals that are made from recycled paper



That is what I have come up with so far... let me know if you have any more ideas to add

Randomness

So how do you all make/find time to write blogs? especially funny and intelligent ones... the few times I think of funny and/or intelligent things I am either a. almost asleep and too lazy to get up and write it down (I lost a whole song that way - and I'm pretty sure it was good too- I just can't remember ;p )or b. at work and start giggling to myself to which people want to know what is so funny and I reply nothing to which I get weird looks but I learned that it is best to keep these things to myself - they already think I'm crazy for giving my ficus tree a bath - #1 because I have a ficus tree to begin with and #2 because I gave it a bath - and explaining why only made them think I was even more delusional - I thought it made perfectly good sense though... :o)

anyway it might help if my laptop worked but I need a new power cord and it cast $70.00 before shipping and handling so I am not overly joyous to buy another one. one of these days though...

Maybe it is just because I am neither funny or intelligent hmm.. this could be .... ;o)
