I’m in a weird mood. Not weird good or weird bad, just…weird weird. I’m not in a bad mood, far from it. Not in a giddy or hyper mood. Just. Existing? But that sounds so…existential and emo. And I am the last thing from emo. In my opinion, anyway.
Omg. Am I emo and I don’t realize it? Can someone be unknowingly emo? Someone do research and let me know. I really don’t want to be emo. I don’t THINK I am. I have one friend in particular that I sort of have to smack around to un-emo her at times, but I tend to be pretty optimistic.
Well, that’s not true. Because I more or less think everything sucks and everyone else is stupid.
But I don’t wear black eyeliner. That has to count for something.
Well, I only don’t wear black eyeliner because I tend to look like the walking dead if I do. Which pisses me off because I used to rock the black liquid eyeliner all the time. But anymore, it makes my undereyes look bruised and they do that enough on their own, thanks.
Okay, seriously? What is the point of this post?
I suppose it fits the blog, anyway.
Yeah, it was a weird day.
In other words, I’m making strides on Sari 2.0! I will be the first to admit that I’m not the best at “reducing my carbon footprint” or whatever term the treehuggers are using now and “adm” is not an incorrect word, Firefox, you may want to read the rest of the word to see that it’s right. Ahem.
One step I took was looking at my Starbucks consumption weekly. I go, generally, four – five times a week. I’d say that’s average. Some weeks I go once, some weeks I go ten times. Depends on my mood, cash in hand, etc. So, we’re looking anywhere from five – ten plastic or paper cups a week.
I bought a new travel coffee mug. I had a Starbucks type one before (looks like the paper cups) and the lid broke. But it was my favorite, and I found a Starbucks that carried them still, so I bought one of those.
And then! I discovered last week that Starbucks now has cold-drink tumblers. Which are, in a word, awesome. So I bought one of those.
So, it may not be a huge step, but it’s something. And it’s better than nothing, which is what most people do. That was a bit soap boxish, but was not intended as such. I’m horrible at recycling, turning lights off, etc, so I’m not going to lecture anybody.
But it makes me feel better about myself and well, that’s what matters.
It’s just another step on the journey to Sari 2.0. I’ve already gotten rid of about 3/4s of what I own (and am constantly finding new stuff to get rid of and new ideas for organization.) I highly recommend this blog, not just for tips but for daily reads. Very nice.
I plan on starting to use the library more. After the flood, that came to a screeching halt, but there’s one not terribly out of my way, so I will start using that one – different town, but they’re all in the same “network” so I can get books shipped to any branch for easy pick up. It’s convenient and I plan to take advantage of it, because I need to stop spending money on books, stat.
The problem with blogging is it makes me lazy because I just sit down and blog instead of getting my stuff done.
So, if none of my plans for Sari 2.0 come to fruition? I’m blaming y’all.
