reusable bags are for more than just the grocery store

Before I share my newest cool idea with you all I would just like to say if you do not own reusable bags WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?! FYI they are only 99 cents at Whole Foods and they are pretty cute and decorative, I mean you could almost use them as a purse. You should leave now and go buy them. In fact since mine are the ugly old school ones I might even leave and go buy them...Anyways, back on topic...So ever since earth day I have been really trying to minimize my impact on the earth. I was earth conscious before then but now I'm on a mission to do everything humanly possible to be more green. Brian and I have been riding our bikes way more and I've sworn off flying because it requires more fuel to power a plane than it would if every single air passenger drove a hummer to thier destination (OK this isn't the real reason I've sworn off flying, but now I have an excuse not to face my fear, and isn't that a pretty crazy truth???) So I always use my reusable shopping bags when I go to the grocery store and I was feeling really good about myself until I realized thats the only place I take them. When I go to the salon and buy shampoo in bulk, or when I run to Target for one thing yet somehow come home with everything but what I went to Target for, or when I'm extremely hungover and all I need is a chipotle burrito, I come home with plastic and paper bags. And those huge plastic cost cutters bags and the paper chipotle sacks and those useless miniature plastic bags places give you when you havn't bought enough shit to deserve a full size bag are all adding up. And thats when it hit me. Why can't I use my reusable bag EVERYWHERE? The people at chipotle may look at me funny when I ask them to put my burrito in a giant Whole Foods sack, but who cares? And that way when you buy two burritos they won't put one on top of the other, they can go side by side in the reusable bag, and that way no one has to eat a smashed burrito (which for me is almost as grave a situtation as global warming.) Maybe the rest of you have already thought of this and already practice it and to you I say "Well arn't you the brightest crayon in the box?! Probably the bright green one made of 100% all natural recycled materials." But to those of you like me who up until now have not been so creative, you no longer have any excuse to not use your reusable bags for every purchase you make...

what does it take to be number one?

Welcome friends (and randoms) to the new home of my infamous rants and raves now available in text form! It's a place to check up on me and The Ted (and I suppose we should include Brian as well, although I can almost guarantee Brian does not wish to be included, or mentioned at all for that matter. In fact when he reads this he'll probably be cranky I mentioned him and even more cranky that I mentioned that he'd be cranky. Ah fuck it, we just won't tell him about this blog then we can talk about him all we want!) As I am currently being extremely lame I have nothing exciting to report, but rest assured the second something exciting happens to me the whole wide world will be able to know thanks to the internet! Actually, the reason I'm spending all this time making a blog is cuz I'm bored out of my mind, the second I have something to blog about will mean I am no longer desperately searching for something to do and as a result I will be to busy to blog about it. But keep reading anyway just in case...

PS To my fellow graduates of the River City High School Class of 2002: Remember when we did our senior walk to Nelly's "Number One?" Who chose that song? It embodies every single thing that was, and still is, fucked up about the River City High School Class of 2002.
