No apologies

I got my canvas grocery bags today. They had them at the local grocery for $.99 each so I got me 4 of ‘em. They hold a TON of stuff, I was shocked. I will probably buy a whole bunch more to give to family and friends, ‘cause I’m preachy and “If I’m doing it you must too” like that.

Also, get a load of the food I just bought. All from the crunchy-granola section! I even bought soy cheese!!

I may be curious about becoming a vegetarian, but doesn’t mean I’m going to suddenly stop eating convenience food, yo.

Also, please take note of the vitamin pack. A dear old friend of mine dropped by at our request so she could tell us about this new business she’s involved with. Yes, it’s a multi-level marketing scheme and yes, I’m aware that I’m becoming a vegetarian AND one of those people all in the same week. But ok, so I took the “PM” vitamins and I’ve never slept so good in as long as I can remember. I have a REALLY hard time with sleep, hopeless insomniac. I sometimes take melatonin which helps, but I don’t feel quite right about doing that every single day. And I won’t take sleeping pills for various reasons. Anyway, great night sleep. Then, the “AM” pills got me going in the morning, I’ve felt SO GREAT today. Serious.

So Brian is going to attend the training session this weekend to see what it’s all about. I don’t think I’d be any good at multi-level marketing considering I don’t have much contact with humans, but Brian is so that guy. Considering that it’s new (everyone knows if you get in early that’s when you can actually make money with these things), and considering that I’m wanting to buy these vitamins anyway, why the hell not?

I am getting to the point, also, where I feel the need to stop apologizing for everything I do that’s slightly off the beaten path of what society (the folks who brought you mastercard debt, global warming and heart disease) deems “normal”.

If I’m to become a skinny, healthy bitch who looks 30 when she’s 40, with money in the bank and the ability to travel the world on a whim, then I’m going to have to take some chances, make some changes, and try new things.

Arbiter of modern culture that I am, I decided just now that “veg-curious” is the new “heteroflexible,” and you get to be the first hipster to whom the appellation applies.

This also means that I’ll be eating twice as much bacon and steak now to offset our having lost you to the tree-huggers. I’ll be your very own picture of Dorian Gray, slowly turning sclerotic in the attic while you grow more healthy and vivacious every day.

I haven’t stopped laughing since I read that. Yup, still laughing. LOL

Veg-curious --THAT’S what I’ll title my new category, you’re good.

Still laughing.

I heart you Shep.

I love your new bags and your shiny countertops!!

Hey lady! I remember you from back in the day...TBS dayz to be exact! So, I’m just saying, those Amy’s frozen meals are totally awesome. I was sceptical at first but soon discovered they rock my world. The cheesy bowl thing with tofu and noodles and veggies is the best! Peace.

Good for you! It sounds like you’re really exploring a lot that could be both better for you and better for the environment. Don’t apologize - be proud of yourself.

@Betty thanks for noticing the shine haha (disclosure: buffed special for photograph lol). Since these bags were *there* and even cheaper than the ones you turned me on to, I couldn’t resist—also, they’re supposed to give a 5 cent credit but so far ZERO cashiers have honored that. Fuckahs. :/

@Krista HELLOoooooooooooo woman! ((((bear hug)))) how are you??!! I love the Amy’s stuff too. I’ve noticed it’s breaking my budget a bit, but worth it to keep in stock for a pinch. Everything so far is fantastic, the burritos and pizzas are amazing.

@Morea Thanks girl, that means a lot. It’s really helped me this last week to have people support me in what I’m doing. We need to catch up missy!! xoxo

Hey, the bags at your store are cooler than the bags at MY store. I plan to repaint MY bags because they have this idiot “ingles” logo on them all silly and super-proud. And, your bags were cheaper. Can you send me some? Please please please?

Of course!! This bag has a Fred Meyer‘s logo on it but it’s pretty small and down at the bottom (stuff is covering it). How many do you want?

Posted by chepooka on 06/25 at 02:25 PM

Cool! How about three? I’ll send you S&H plus the $3.00. It gets the novelty conversation starter of “yeah, these came from Alaska! How cool is that?”

One of the friends at my <a rel="follow" href="http://vitanet1.blogspot.com">Vitamin Discussion</a> group had a canvas bag such as yours. I was amazed to see how many things it can hold without braking. She said she’s absolutely dependent on it. I’ll run out and buy a few for myself.

My wife does all the shopping in the house. In one year she’s done so many changes I can’t remember how the house looked before. There are 4 trash bins instead of one, for each type of materials. Nylon bags are gone, she uses only recyclable materials and she uses this type of bags all the time because they last a lot of time, they are washable and very resistant.
