Going Green

That's right, Ricky and I have jumped on the band wagon and are trying to do more to protect the environment. OK, you caught me...that's not the REAL reason. Really, it's just a lot cheaper and it gives us exercise to "go green." Alas, I wish I had that heart of gold and the desire to grow my own wheat and then hand grind it in a mortar and pestle then bake it in a clay oven in my backyard (which would also have to be handmade by clay found and dug up locally by yours truly). Unfortunately, that doesn't sound fun at all. Instead, we have started riding our bike to the grocery store. We bought a bike rack and a pannier (fancy word for bike bag that sits on bike rack and expands to really really big) - oh, disclosure, I bought those things off Amazon and they were shipped here from across the US of A and was not hand made. Again, not really going green :)

It was surprisingly fun! I'm hoping it will help us to buy less food so we don't have to throw out produce that we can't eat. I'm also hoping for some really sexy legs! I was surprised at how much produce fit in that bag. I was also very thankful that I don't drink milk - cuz that'd be really heavy...

Between this and our annual detox diet (already on day 3 baby!) I will hopefully refresh my love of healthy eating. Stupid school has led me to some addictive behaviors...chocolate, diet coke, pizza, naps. No bueno...
