going green

slowly - i repeat, very slowly, we have been making little changes to our home in hopes to consider our environmental footprint. so, we've been buying the tote bags to purchase our food with, and turning up the air, and down the heat... but it's really hard to make a BIG impact. i'm not sure exactly what i'm trying to do, but i would like to think that we are doing our part, and i definitely don't feel that way yet. we are going to be putting in on of those instant hot water heaters, apparently they are very good, and next year i'm expanding my veggie garden, and starting a compost. what i really want to strive for is less plastic bags... WAY hard to do... they are really apart of every day life.
stay tuned for more greening stuff.

crazyville

lets just say it's been a few hectic weeks... mailed the invites - yay! Had gina's wedding, picked up FI's baby pics and had the first fitting. also started back at the gym... my whole body hurts today. needless to say, there was an ice cream cone that finished off tonight - yum.

found really great gm gifts - i'm totally stoked about them! and already ordered the girls part of their present. just looking for a few odds and ends. i'm also so excited for a shower... i didn't realized i'd get so excited for it! i obviously have no idea when it is, although that doesn't stop me from asking FI frequently... it gets him all flustered; i don't really want to know when it is, its just fun to watch him squerm!!

just hanging out

took the day off today to hand out at my 'arents hours and be available for the window washers. it's a great dya out, perfect weather. I'd like to talk Shawn into happy hour at kaminski's but I don't think that'll happen. I am going to stop by the post office today and have my wedding invites weighed - yay! Wedding mail. Starting to feel nervous. When I think about actually sending them , I get butterflies.

Oh - awesome work related news... Our professional organization has an annual educational meeting, that my position is not typically involved in attending. So I submitted for a scholarship to the local chapter and was awarded! WooHoo! New Orleans in January! So I'm way stoked.
