Pale, pale green

I am not green. It isn't that I don't care about the environment, just that I have some sort of extreme aversion to being that "earthy-crunchy" person I've always snickered at.

Having said this, I am also completely OVER gas prices, would drive a Hybrid if I could afford to buy one, and am thinking about kicking my bottled-water habit.

In the spirit of such decisions, I visited a cute website called Ideal Bite. Basically, "Ideal Bite offers bite-sized ideas for light green living." No radical environmentalism, just smart ideas on how to kill the trees (and other things, I suppose) a little less frequently. You can sign up for daily tips.

And from this site, I discovered Ecoist. I am, admittedly, not an Ecoist, but they have really cute things! From their website - "We offer accessories made from mostly repurposed and sustainable materials and are produced in fair trade, sweatshop-free environments. We hope to inspire more people to become "Ecoists" and think differently about the things they buy, how they are made, where they come from, and vote for a more sustainable world."

And their handbags and jewelry are so very cute. And (mostly) affordable. And perfect for that environmentalist friend you have a hard time buying for.

And that, my friends, is a blog update. A green way to communicate and everything :)

Wow. Bring Tissues

There's not really anything I can say. Just watch.

Loser, party of one

I just realized that it has been over a year since I posted a new blog. Obviously this blog is of vital importance to me.

I cannot promise that I will update this regularly - and let's face it - I have no audience really, but I am going to try to chronicle what's going on in my life as it happens.

For a quick update...
I have 3 classes and a thesis separating me from graduation. Once I finish, I have no idea if I will use this degree in a traditional, paycheck kind of way.

If I had all the money in the world, I'd probably do another master's program, just for fun.

I'm writing my thesis on perfectionism as spiritual abuse, so if you have any ideas or book suggestions, send them my way.

And, the most important news of the day - my MacBook Pro should be arriving on the beautiful FedEx vehicle TODAY!

I'd better stop writing before I faint from excitement.
