bronze goddess

I was just talking to my good friend about facial products and while I am giving up my Estee Lauder Fruiton for a while, I did have to splurge on the Bronze Goddess in celebration of Spring. I love it and it seems to last forever. It's not too shimmery for me and actually looks like I got some sun.

green week

Happy Green Week! The weather this week has made it easy to make a few changes. We have had the windows open and used no heat. I love it and wish it could be 70 and breezy every day. We have been grilling instead of cooking inside and our t.v watching is very minimal.

We started making more of an effort last Fall. For one thing, we switched to more environmentally friendly detergents, hand soap and cleaning products. These changes are sometimes difficult for N as he is somewhat of a germ-o-phobe. I often find that he uses obscene amounts of the cleaning products (defeating the purpose a little).

He has also been known to throw clothing away if he felt it was compromised in the cleanliness dept. - not so green. I, however, retrieved it and took it straight to the dry cleaners also not so green, but better than filling the earth with trash.

In order to make up for some of his not- so- green habits, he did replace the light bulbs in our house, we did away with saran wrap and plastic bags. He also bought me the supplies to grow my own tea leaves. We'll see how this goes.

This one did seem a bit crazy to me, but I managed to adjust, we don't use the dryer nearly as much. My main reason was not to conserve energy, but to conserve our clothing. I am picky about socks and it seemed as though mine were getting thinner after one season and they weren't cheap ones. After throwing too many away, I started hanging them to dry and eventually did this with many other things. It's amazing how much the dryer wears the fabric because I have noticed a huge difference.

I know we have a long way to go, but I do feel a lot less wasteful and have saved money.

frown face

Ok so maybe I am more like Poshe, in some ways anyway (mean face, see post below). As Elsa and I were crossing the street, a blue Accord came to a screeching halt at the pedestrian cross/ stop sign. I looked and gave him one of my frown faces, it's just a reaction and I can't really help myself. It was a bad one too. We proceeded into our class and took our place on the floor. My usual friend wasn't there so I felt a bit thrown off. Just as I was about to forget the near miss incident, who should I see entering the class, yes it was Mr., "why stop at a stop sign when children are walking", he was bringing his son to our class. When I gave the look I didn't see a kid in the back and didn't recognize him, but apparently the mom couldn't make it so it was this guy instead. In order to avoid a possible confrontation, I had to just keep the look up and appear as though that's how I look all the time, it's ridiculous I know. He was in the wrong and I should have been open to letting telling him so. However, I have to keep in mind that I sometimes tend to over-react and perhaps expect more from people than I should, so I kept a somewhat unfriendly face throughout the class which could have backfired on so many levels. First off - since my usual friend was gone I probably prevented myself from making new friends. The other moms have always seemed very friendly and open to conversation. Today would have been a chance to talk to someone different. Now they are probably a bit frightened by me. They could be sympathetic and dismiss it as a distracted pregnant mom, but apparently no on can tell that I am. I am 6 months and have gained quite a bit, but I guess I just look a little more curvy. Lastly, the frown face actually did bring my mood down and prevented me from having as much fun as usual. So while the initial frown face was worth it and necessary, maintaining the attitude throughout the class was probably not necessary in the end.

Over the weekend, I heard a song that reminded of something from a long time ago. I finally remembered it was from this movie, Dance Til Dawn. When I was in Jr. High, I was obsessed with this movie. I taped it (VHS) and watched it over and over again after school. Now I have to see it again. At the time, I thought it was ridiculous so it should be a good laugh now.
