Hello again,

 Okay, so here are my thoughts about going green and doing better with this whole thing! I promised to be honest with all of you and this is confession time!

First failure….paper plates and cups……… I had a hoard of family coming to town and pizza sounded like an awesome idea but I was exhausted from a full days of work ( not an excuse) I am a realtor and a writer and we are many other different hats and did not feel like having to wash dishes again, I did that already in the morning! Well….. I fell from the green grace….and yes, I did it , I served the pizza that came in a huge box (that doesn’t fit in my trash

can) and served it on plastic, with plastic cups and to ad insult to injury plastic forks and spoons. Granted, it was so easy to just walk around afterwards with my  yet again plastic bag and and ask everyone to throw their stuff in it.  I felt so good at that moment, that I at least recycled the plastic bag from the store ( not thinking that it should have been a paper bag.) After they all left and I took the mountain of stuff to my trash can I finally started to think about this monumental failure to go green on my part. I was disgusted with myself and needed someone to talk to about my sinful ways but there is no one around me at this time that understands. I will have to wait until my grand child has a green project at school and points out all of our short comings, then we will talk about it again for a little while and their will be some that will be on the same path!

Whaaaaaaaaaaat is wroooooooong with meeeeeeeeeee and/or uuuuuuuuuuuuus????????

Next failure………… coke cans, hair product bottles, perfume bottles, make up stuff…..and other lady products that are plain and simple cluttering my mind and my bath room or kitchen. I didn’t realize how much trash I can create all by myself and even though, I have such great intentions, it is way to much work!!! I keep forgetting that I made a pledge and it is so much easier to drink out of the can then trash it then to recycle. Recycling creates a clutter all around the house and It is not pretty at all. My hair products are so important to me and I don’t know where I can buy bottles that are recyclable and I am exhausted just thinking about it. What about the perfume bottles, what do you do with them….I know, they should go in the glass bin but who has a glass bin at their house. Lazy…lazy…lazy you say…but at least I feel guilty about it now!
