How I did it
How to finish Christmas shopping
It took me
14 days
It made me
omgfinally

How I did it: I tried to go to a few more out of the way places this year with unique/locally made gifts.   I also tried to not over analyze the process ... it's a gift! If they don't like it or can't at least fake that they like it, then that's on their head ;) Read how I did it…

plant a garden (read all 2 entries…)
ugh 11 months ago

well, I officially have killed my ivy plant … I don’t even know how! So my plan is to wait until closer to spring and focus on a windowsill herb garden. I’m thinking that since it’s something I would potentially be using in cooking that it would be a little more in the forefront of my thoughts as opposed to “decoration”. Poor poor ivy …

reduce my carbon footprint
plastic bags at the Uscan 11 months ago

For at least the past two months now, I have been skipping the plastic bag when I buy my lunch at work. I never realized how many bags I went through until they started to pile up in my kitchen. THEN it hit me … almost every day I buy my lunch at the store I work at. Every day I put those boxes/bottles/whatever into a plastic bag at the Uscan as I check out … even though I walked up to the Uscan carrying the stuff without a bag. Consciously not putting the items into a bag after I scanned them was actually difficult to remember for a while. It’s so programmed into you : scan, bag, scan, bag. Anyway, every little thing counts.

The next step for me is to go back to making my lunches every day instead of buying them. This is also for money and nutritional reasons, but ties into waste reduction too.
