Any more potlucks or anything?

I either reuse paper bags I got when I was more careless or use my backpack.

What are your thoughts on bananas?

Thanks!

Not what I left on your voice mail. Hope you laughed as much as I did over that slip up. We need to chill soon!! I hope you have a great time today, and I am jealous that I don't get to eat any of that incredible Sushi. Miss you! Okay I completely meant Congestive Heart Failure.

I always have a canvas bag with me for quick stops and always a ton with me on major shopping day. It becomes second nature. I can't even remember the last time I had to deal with those awful plastic bags! Blech! <br/><br/>I do believe that if I ate out half as much as I do now per month...I would eat out like 1/2 a time a month....maybe almost 0 times a month then. Most I eat out a month is once. I prefer my own food, I know how it is prepared, who prepared it and that it is all organic. It is nice not to cook once in a while though, I'll give you that.

Am I out of the loop about bananas? I love them so much, am I in denial about their harvesting or something? <br/><br/>Some stores, like Trader Joe's, have started putting signs on their doors saying "Did you remember your reusable bags?" or something to that effect. I find this tremendously helpful as I usually forget and leave mine in the car! <br/><br/>I'm with Bianca, though, in that I still use some plastic bags for sealing up diapers before throwing them out (I know, I know, disposable diapers is another way I'm killing the earth). I've given up lots of stuff in my life, but some plastics are so difficult to part ways with!<br/><br/>Good luck with all your challenges and keep us posted as to how you're doing! Good challenges!

I use the canvas bags on grocery day, but when I run into a store for a quick something, I always accept the plastic...because I can't scoop up doo-doo with my hands....ick! I mean, I'm into the idea of a colonic, but that's my poo, not my dog's.<br/><br/>As for bananas, I could maybe do that for a month...not this month. Maybe next.
