Eco Friendly

Sorry for the belated blog, but I'm still counting this as my week 2 entry :)

So Amber found these really cool garbage bags that are 100% biodegradable the other day. I encourage everyone to switch to these "BioBags," as they are much better for the environment than their plastic counterparts.
Speaking of being eco-friendly, I also encourage everyone to buy their own cloth grocery bags. Many grocery stores offer really nice bags that zip up and even insulate. Sometimes I forget to bring my bags into the store, in which case I usually just cart my items to the car with no bag at all.
Sometimes ending up with plastic bags is inevitable, in which case they can always be re-used to pick up after your dog or re-used in a trash can at home.
Amber and I were even considering starting our own compost pile to reduce waste even further, however, our HOA association prohibits compost piles because they attract bears :(
Anyway, if anyone has any other simple, practical ways to be "Green," then feel free to e-mail me.

New Years Resolutions

So we had a great New Year's Party over at Tom's place the other night, my place was a disaster the following day, but I've grown accustomed to cleaning around the house for an hour or so everyday, so it really didn't change much around here, lol. As for resolutions, I have three. Because I usually flake out on just about everything in my life, I decided to make my resolutions fairly modest. Even so, I think Vegas probably has me at around 25:1 against, haha.
1) Blog at least once a week
2) Go to Yoga at least once a week
3) Meditate at least once a week
If I'm somehow able to make it through the year with these goals, then maybe I'll try something more aggressive, but I think I'll have my hands full at this point. I never wrote about Zoe dying, but that post will be reserved for another time. I was proud of myself this year - I actually went Christmas shopping and bought some presents for everyone =) Adam Friedman is staying with me for a few days, he came out for our New Year's Party. It's been fun talking football with him, as he brings new perspective on a lot of stuff, and is far more knowledgeable than myself about College Football. Our new puppy, Daisy, is a total sweetheart. We've been taking her to the dog park just about everyday and she loves to go around making new friends. Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone, and hopefully I'll make it at least a week with my New Year's Resolutions!
