So, Guthrie and I were suppose to work on water yesterday. We started going through the steps and, like many of the tasks, they weren't really geared toward us or wouldn't work well with our subzero temps (I am not taking a cold shower). The water calculator was in the metric system and then it goes on to tell us not to use bottled water. Plus, I am sick of the YES! Magazine emails to get me to do Twitter chats with the "No Impact Man". This project sounded cool, but is getting too gimmicky and I don't feel like subscribing to a magazine that is delivered (not very eco), so stop asking.
Today we are suppose to give back. Well, we volunteer often. Guthrie was volunteering all week for Arc and next week we are taking our Little to an MLK celebration and making blankets for United Way. Sunday is suppose to be an eco-sabbath, and we are suppose to relax, spend time together, and stay home. We want to go XC skiing and go to yoga, so I am going to say no to saying home. Plus, it's noon on Saturday, and I am still in my robe. I think I am taking care of the relaxing.
You could chalk this up to laziness, but I would like us get to back to our usual weekly posts (starting next Sunday) because that works well for us. The idea is nice, but we've got our way that allows for a little more creativity and flexibility. I definitely suggest taking a peak at the website, but doing it on your own pace would be much more meaningful.
Peace!
