A Day in the Life
“Plastic is fine,” said the woman in line behind me at Kroger today. This is pretty common for the Bubble, so it didn’t really phase me as I struggled to fit my last reusable bag in my already overflowing cart. As I pushed away, though, I heard her qualify her statement with this: “I always recycle them.”
We have progress, people!!!
———————————-A little while ago, our daughter yelled this through some angst-ridden tears: “Mommy!!!! He SMILED at me!!!!”
Apparently, this is a reportable offense when you are a nearly seven year old girl and said smile comes from your five year old brother. Particularly if you have just hurt yourself by smacking your chin on the corner of the table while reaching for a pencil during homework.

“Mommy, when I was little, I thought that it would ALWAYS have to snow on Christmas. I didn’t know any better. Now I’m older and I know that it doesn’t always snow on Christmas. But this year I think it will. Don’t you?” — our son, 5 years old

“We have to use new ones so that we can get old ones.” This was uttered by my favorite aerobics instructor this morning as she was telling us about the new CD she would be using for step class. I’ll tell you — after a hectic morning of rushing around the house and getting the kids off to school, with NO morning coffee — this was really deep and took a bit of effort to grasp. Scary, huh?

Why was the dog just barking his head off and jumping up at the front door, you ask? Why, that would be because the nice FedEx lady just got out of her truck and handed me a wonderful thing. That’s right — our Mac is back! (Though, I must admit that I am using the old laptop at the moment, because I’m too lazy to get up and get a scissor to open the FedEx box right now.)

“We have to use new ones so that we can get old ones.”
I’ve read that three times and still don’t get it. What kind of day must I have had?
I bought some reusable bags at the grocery store yesterday. I used them, too. I felt warm and fuzzy afterward. And that just never happens to me.
Those are some great quotes!
I love my reuseable bags. I can go nuts at the grocery store and still fit it all in four or five bags. Excellent.
The re-usable bags are awesome, but I never remember to bring them. They get used for lots of stuff around home though
Yay for progress! I am not too sure about using the new to get to the old, though. Is it all in how you put things on the shelf?
I am FREEZING cold. My husband, in one of his annoying experiments, is wanting ot see how much it will cost/how easy it is/how well it works to heat our house with space heaters. Okay, fine, crazy man, but DON’T TAKE THE SPACE HEATER IN MY OFFICE TO PUT IN A RENTAL PROPERTY!!! Damn him. I’m really cold. At least the children are warm.
@evagarringer - I cannot STAND being cold!!! We are supposed to get some bitter cold overnight (well, for Virginia) and for some reason our master bedroom is insanely cold no matter what. Boo hoo!
New ones-muscles? Old ones-if we get these new muslces then we’ll live longer so we’ll have old ones? Just thinking out loud-I wasn’t sure what it meant when I read it either!
In my view one and all may read this. check 2 7. Very helpful piece of writing, much thanks for the article. 2 LINK 5. It can’t work in fact, that is exactly what I believe. 1 2 4. I believe one and all must look at it.
