My newest experiment

So on top of my human experiment (which for some odd reason I haven't come across any stupid army wives lately. It is odd. They used to come out of the woodwork. HMM.) Anyways, what I am doing atm is learning to live without disposables. Not diapers, that is one luxury I won't give up (plus the Brits proved that cloth diapers are as hard on the environment as disposables due to the care needed to keep them sanitary). But other disposables. I now only buy 1 roll of paper towels per paycheck (so 2 rolls/mo), I don't buy freezer bags anymore, and so forth. (Toilet paper is another disposable that is staying. To be honest, I don't even know what else one would use, and I am not asking for suggestions either.) Also, I am phasing out all plastic in my house. I got rid of all my plastic plates, most of my plastic bowls, and all my plastic cups (except for sippy cups, but once I can afford the awesome stainless steel sippys, the plastic ones will go). I am working on getting rid of my plastic tupperware also, slowly replacing it with glass jars (I wont microwave in plastic anyways, so I end up moving my leftovers to glass bowls or whatnot anyways). Plastic toys are a bit harder to phase out, but I am not trying to go completely hippy-nut-job either. So there it is. My hubby is going to be thrilled with my new level of hippyness when he gets home (for those of you who don't know him very well, that is sarcasm. He doesn't mind some of my hippy ways, but he thinks I am too crunchy. Which makes this all that much more fun).

Not much else to report here. Heading to my hometown later this week to visit other family. Then I am home for a bit, unless I can save enough pennies to go see my bestest hyper-spastic ghetto friend at the beginning of Nov. We will see (I want to see her, plus I have the ulterior motive of wanting to go to the farmers market in her town and stock up on the cheapest organic meat ever - I am so in love with that farmers market. It is indoors, the size of a sams club or better, and their stuff is organic, but not certified, so it is uber-cheap.)
