I Fucking Give Up

For the night, that is. What was supposed to have been a 30 minute jaunt into tweaking my template has turned into hour after hour of graphic design and mind-numbing coding. Things will probably be jumping around the page for the next few weeks or so. So have a beer and bear with me.

Anonymous said...: I like it! When I revamped mine I obsessed over it for about 48 hours straight. I want to change mine again, but I can't come up with anything and honestly don't know where I'd get the time.

Maybe you can do mine....; January 23, 2008 at 10:56 PM

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
