There is a lot of stupidity in this world, and I have about had enough. I have a lot to say and in all fairness to those who know and love me, I am putting it all right here. I have another blog that is just for my regular family and friends. Pictures of the kids, sweet little paragraphs detailing their activities and the like. THIS blog is for me. Not my kids, not my parents. This is where we get to the meat of the matter. I am tired of smiling in the face of people and thinking WHAT THE FUCK? I know that I do not think or believe the way many of the sheep out there seem to. This blog proves it.

Our Attempts At A Green Lifestyle:
- We try to use cloth napkins or kitchen towels instead of paper towels when we clean up
- I switched to a smaller coffee maker. There is less wasted coffee, there is a shorter brew time, and it therefore uses less engergy
- We attempt to grow plants
- I use a menstrual cup. Safer for me, cleaner for the environment
- We get lots of hand-me-down toys and clothes and we pass everything along
- We use FreeCycle and shop at thrift shops
- I breastfed each child
- My husband walks to work when he can
- Instead of clay litter, we use cat sand made from wheat. Also from pine. In a happy accident, we found that by combining the two, we get better clumpage, less smell, and do not worry if the kids end up with a little in their mouths
- We unplug other appliances like coffee makers, etc.
- We have our media on the wall switch and turn it off at night. That makes SEVEN appliances that are turned off--not just on standby
- We try to use cloth wipes
- We use cloth diapers

Ahhhhhh, the Trapper Keeper. I never had such a nice, fancy one. Pretty cool!
No way, they still make Trapper Keepers!? That was the hardest thing - picking the right style. Turn up with an uncool Trapper Keeper on the first day of school and you may as well kiss your year goodbye.
What a blast from the past! My kids loved picking out their Trapper Keepers each fall. It was a major to-do!
And little Maverick is so adorable. I just want to muss his hair!
Peace - D
@Mermaid: LOL I don't know if I would say "nice and fancy" but thanks!
@CiHV: I think they do, but this is my OLD one. I found it in one the boxes I was unpacking. It still had my 8th grade paperwork in it. LOL
@Momma: I hope we have a similar tradition with my kiddos.
Oh how I begged for a Trapper keeper... And then my school started saying "No Trapper Keepers".
Jerks.
Does it make me totally lame if I admit that I still have one that I use?
Ok, so WTF is a Trapper Keeper? It sounds - well, I don't really know how it sounds.
I must know! The Baroness SO cannot be out of the loop!!!
Hahaha....I had many trapper keepers over the years.
I had that EXACT TK!!! I wish I still had it... even though it's all sorts of tacky, I loved it!!
@Betsey Booms: Dude, you totally got screwed. I'm sorry!
@Jayna: No more lamer than me who has one and doesn't use it.
@BvB: You poor deprived Canadian. ;) I actually had to explain it to my hubbie, too. It is just like a big binder that kept all your folders and pencils in it. It was all the rage to have the ones with the cool colors and pictures on it.
@TundraTantrum: It is a blast from the past, isn't it?!
@Random_Mommy: No WAY!! The exact one? Now THAT is a small world!
