2 more life journey memoirs

I just finished Dan Savage's The Commitment about his family's journey to get married or not. Dan Savage is the sex advice columnist in most alt-weekly papers and a gay man in a long term relationship. His mother thinks they should get married. Their 6 year old son is opposed. I really love his book about adopting their son and liked this one equally.


I am presently reading Eat, Pray, Love for book club. I am reserving judgment, but am interested so far.

Must pay more attention.

I forgot to ask for paper bags at the grocery store. They had the plastic ones loaded into my cart before I noticed. I wanted paper to use to separate recyclables. I paid attention to what I was buying and only bought a few items that didn't have recyclable packaging. Then I spaced and ended up with a handful of plastic bags.

Questions to research:
What types of packaging are most readily recycled/reused?
Alternatives to plastic bags, esp. for produce.

Today is trash day, so tomorrow will start my first one bag of trash week.

Resource-Cloth diapers

We are blessed to be waiting for our first shipment from Miracle Diapers. They provide loaner cloth diapers to families with need. They're helping families cloth diaper and by being a loaner program they maximize the usefulness of the diapers.

Goal #1, Day 1

1st day and I'm already failing. We haven't been out of the house and Baby N has been having a Day. Teething apparently sucks. Thus, no recycling has been set up and the trash can is already half full. Tomorrow is another day.
