Midweek confessions

I was told that I needed to hook up with this whole Midweek Confessions thing from E, Myself, and I. (Sorry, I couldn't get the cute picture thingy to work with it. Amazing that I can build a full website but can't get a link to work.) We'll see how long that lasts (fyi, I've only scrolled through that particular blog once... and I didn't get very far... mostly because I was at work).

- My new favorite website is jpandashley.com. I didn't care for Ashley when she was on the Bachelor, but I watched her season of the Bachelorette and am now a huge fan of her and JP. Seriously. I think we could be friends. (The other Ashley from that Bachelor season also has a blog that I like to read: saynotocosmo.com.)

- I am addicted to buying things for Little Man. I love it! I bought him a teddy bear the other day. I'm trying to decide what to get him for Easter. My current mission in life is to spoil him as much as possible from far away.

- I've decided I like vegan food. This is fortunate with fasting time. Unfortunately, I don't like corn, bananas, or avocados. All of these things are popular add-ins in vegan food. And I miss real cheese. And dairy. And ice cream. And fro yo. But this and the fact that I try to bring my own bag for groceries and I didn't double bag dude's groceries the other day led to the dude calling me a tree hugger. Actually the conversation went like this: 

Dude: You didn't double bag anything! What are you trying to do? Save the environment?

Me: Why do you sound so surprised? You knew I was half hippie when you started dating me. I'm wearing shoes made out of burlap, for goodness sake.

Dude: I know. It's just sad because you're not the fun "let's smoke some pot" kind of hippie. You're the annoying "go hug a tree" type of hippie.

Me: It could be worse. At least I bathe.

- Because I've become a tree hugger (at least according to Dude's standards), I'm trying to use most things completely up before I throw them away. This includes a pen that only works half the time. It's a very annoying pen and there are tons of new ones in the office, but I refuse to throw this one away until it's finished. Or someone touches it. Because if someone touches it then I won't use it anymore. Then it can get thrown away.

- On that same note, I don't throw away pens just because someone touches them. For instance, if my mom touched it, I would keep that pen. I throw away pens because of the people that touch them. Most of the people that I work with don't wash their hands regularly so they are covered in chemicals and general grossness. I tend to chew on pens, so I don't want their random chemicals and general grossness in my mouth. 

Ok, that's enough for today.
