some politics

Wanna bet they bring back Tina Fey to do a sketch on Sarah Palin? he he..

seriously though.. I am not into politics AT ALL.. but for the first time in my life.. I kinda care. I love this Sarah Palin lady! How cool is she.. and she is not like a typical politician at all. John McCain did an excellent job picking her. I was going to vote for him anyways.. but now I am a little more excited about it.

How does everyone else feel??

No more exucuses

So on the Today show today they were talking about recent findings that maybe some men are genetically predisposed to cheat on their wives and girlfriends.. that it is not their fault.. they were made that way and they can't help it...

This is a bunch of crap. I throw this in with all the other crap about alcoholism and obesity.. God did not make us to have certain genes that make us fat.. make us drink.. or make us cheat on our spouses.. This is soooo freakin ridiculous I can hardly stand it. Let's just give everyone a way out so they never have to be responsible for their behavior.. " I have obesity in my family so I might as well give up and just eat and never exercise.. blah blah... "

ok. I am done. What are your thoughts?

Going Green

I was reading an old issue of Domino Magazine last night and it was a "green" issue.. talking about all these ways to be green in your life. Most of them were about wearing clothes made out of natural products...

1. Who has the money to wear a $1000 hemp skirt? Do they even sell a lot of this stuff in Omaha? Why is this stuff so expensive!

2.I recently bought some laundry detergent from Costco that was environmentally good or whatever. and apparently it is more concentrated and I don't have to use as much. When I was reading the magazine last night they wrote about another laundry detergent that is apparently so awesome and concentrated that it could replace 3 bottles of regular laundry detergent. (It is called Shaklee. www.shaklee.com. Its $14.95 a bottle, but rated the best out of all the ones they tried for stain removal.)I know this.. and yet I am scared to only put the little amount it. I can't fully trust that it is going to get the clothes as clean. Does anything else feel this way? I am still thinking.. "more is better"...

3. My next door neighbor only eats organic food and she says that organic apples don't turn yellow like regular ones. Does anyone know about this?

4. They talked about using cloth napkins instead of papertowels and napkins.. and I have some and I like that.. but they are white and I would need to use bleach to clean them. Do you guys know which bleach is good for the environment and works just as good?

What other products do you use?
What other products do you guys use?
