At the risk of sounding a bit…er… mean…I’m going to gently poke a little fun at some of our elderly population’s attire. My own grandparents are part of this group, so I feel I can do this without offending too many people.
Has anyone noticed how many of our grandparents wear polyester? And that stuff [...]

A Fondness for Tupperware
Posted in The Adventures of Eco Girl, Things to Ponder on May 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
After spending many long hours cooking and baking at my house out on the plains of Eastern Colorado, I have decided that the world owes a small debt to Tupperware, though I feel Tupperware is oft taken for granted. Is there anything that cannot be accomplished or decided, any ruffled feathers which cannot be smoothed, directly or [...]
I Have My Own Bags, Thank You
Posted in Girlie Complaining on May 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
What is it about that line that freaks people out so bad?? I’m trying to not use plastic bags and for whatever reason, when I’m at the checkout line at the store, employees look at me like I’ve just grown another head. “You have your own bags? Huh?” Like it’s so much more difficult for [...]
Umbrellas and Bad Luck
Posted in Things to Ponder on May 30, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I was walking out of my office yesterday afternoon, knowing I would be greeted by a torrential downpour outside. Lucky for me, I had my handy dandy umbrella at the ready, being careful not to hit its automatic eject button so as not to incur the wrath of whatever superstitious gods by opening an umbrella [...]

January 2007
I woke up this morning in an average mood, ready to have an average day. I drove in my average car through average traffic and clocked in to my job at 8:23…my average time. So, it should be no surprise that I walked my average butt up the average stairs and wandered into my average [...]

May 2007
I’m taking this whole save-the-planet thing too far, according to my teenaged daughters and my spouse. Ah well, they’re used to my nutty notions, so they’ll survive this one. I’m kind of wondering if all this granola-ness is based on my new addiction to indie rock though? Silversun Pickups? How can I not like [...]

April 2007
Today, I spent money on something that might seem completely unnecessary. It might also technically violate my pledge to not spend money on newly made, mass manufactured, imported things which were likely created in a sweatshop in China. BUT, this thing was a mental necessity in that it serves as a purposeful reminder. It’s an [...]
Mindfulness
Posted in The Adventures of Eco Girl on May 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve spent many hours lately becoming more mindful of my thoughts, actions and results of my thoughts and actions. Yes, sometimes I lapse into my old lazy ways, but for the most part, I’m making small, sustainable and important to me changes in my attitude and in my life in general. It’s simply becoming too [...]
An Old Fashioned, Apron Kinda Gal

May 2006
Question of the day: the humble apron, a symbol of domestic drudgery or an icon of early American femininity?
I have occasionally wondered if the moral decline in America began when women stopped wearing aprons. Women threw caution to the wind and boldly dared gravy to spatter their crisply ironed and pristine blouses. Protected from [...]

Welcome to my new blog, all cleaned up and girlie-like! I couldn’t get the support I needed over at Yahoo, so here I am, starting over at WordPress.
