shopping
Well, I enjoy having a conversation of sorts on the blog so I figured that I would post another interesthing article (out of Newsweek) if anyone is interested. Consider it food for thought and not that I am trying to make anyone change or say that they are living wrong. The author went for a year without shopping (except for food and some basics that are explained in the article) and then reflected on it. I find that sort of thing interesting because I am into simple living, so I just want to share.
In other news, Liz and Henry are visiting this week and we went to Prairie Home Companion this evening (the Garrison Keillor show). It was fun and nice to get out on a weekend night for a change:) It was decent weather today so Liz and I biked to a consignment store and I found a pair of jeans that might actually fit me (ever since having kids I have had a bear of a time finding jeans that fit how I want them to) so I am quite excited by that:)
On Thursday I went and talked to a professor at the university about potential projects for me to work on. Some of the research that he is doing is quite interesting (pollution prevention and using what is waste for one corporation to make another product that is useful) so I think that I could very much enjoy a stint in school (maybe then I'd be too busy to always post ecological things on the blog:)
How's the chincilla, Jos? How's volleyball, Amanda?
I have a funny story that you might appreciate, Jodi....The bank that we go to is in our grocery store which is nice for depositing checks, etc. and it has gotten to the point where one teller there knows that I often come in needing a deposit slip (she saw me coming one day and plunked one on the counter before I even asked). I was like, oh! my banker knows me:) Well, Friday I was getting groceries and realized just as i was about to pay that my bank card was not in my wallet so I was all prepared to bike back home with the kids until I realized, !! I bank here! maybe I can withdraw money, so I went over to the bank and of course it was the same teller and she was like, sure, you can do a counter check, so I did, but I just think that she must think that I am a ditz (which is sometimes quite true) but it just made me laugh and think about the many interesting people you come across....Oh, and I said a while back that i was going to reply to your post, and I apologize for not getting around to it....i'll get to it eventually....
