Review

Environmental

• take reusable bags shopping with me 100% of the time - haven't really done much shopping as of late, but have managed to remember to take my bags with me when I did go
• do not drive to the corner store.  Walk. - so far this one is n/a
• coordinate grocery shopping trips with the roommate, to kill two birds with one stone - doing well on this one
• be more conscious of how many lights are on in the house.  I'm pretty good at this already but could pay a bit more attention - well, I'm doing better with this, I spend half my time following roomie around shutting off lights
• take travel mug with me when going out for coffee - no so well on this one.  I remember to take it to work with me just about all the time, but when I'm out and about I tend to forget

Personal/Health

• drink more water (from a reusable container - good for me and the environment) - getting better
• eliminate pop - also getting better
• research and try natural methods to reduce/eliminate headaches (so I can quit popping Advil like its candy) - have yet to attempt this one
• walk with the dog 3 times a week for min 30mins (pup will have to wait a few weeks until she puts some chub on her) - ha.
• research and begin a cleanse/detox - haven't even thought of it yet.
• get back on track with saving money (I had to drain my savings account awhile back....gotta get back on track) - nope, I'm still poor.
• learn to drink my coffee without sweetener and/or buckets of flavored creamer (though delicious as it is) - this is a work in progress

In other news....

The niece's birthday party was on Sunday.  Miss M is 1 already.  ONE!  She's walking on her own, has 6 teeth, is eating big people food like a champ. She's getting too big too quickly.

Miss A is 5 and started school this year.  My goodness!  They're both growing up too quickly.  They should come with pause buttons.

Got my hair did yesterday.  Had several inches chopped off and some highlights put in.  I quite like it.  Though now that it is shorter it is much curlier since its not so weighed down.

Though sitting there in the chair getting my hair done I couldn't help but feel slightly disgusted by what I saw in the mirror.  The mirrors at this place gave you a view of yourself from your lap up, where other places I've been have just been the chest up.  Ugh.  Gross.  I felt/feel like a heifer.

Attempted to donate blood today.  Fail.  My iron was way low.  WAY low.  I wasn't even close to the minimum number you need to be able to donate.  I left armed with instructions to eat tons of raisins and drink OJ.  I hate raisins. Ick.
