going green- paper towel less life

what would happen if i just STOP buying papertowels when we move? i keep asking myself this... we didn't build a paper towel holder into the wall, and are trying to minimize counter clutter. so technically there's no where to store them.... its so hard to imagine not using them, but if i bought cloths to use as an alternative, why do we need them?

well this just reinforces that we don't. think i'm going to give it a shot.

this quote: "Dream big, work harder. Have lots of fun, lift a finger, do something for someone else. Cheer your friends on. Cheer yourself up. Celebrate as much as possible. Enjoy everything. Right now. It's OK to want more and do more but be present with where you are or who you are with. Don't rush the situation - even if it's bad. Move on when you can. Don't settle. Try everything you can and get over everything holding you back." [ Alex Beauchamp ]

the fact that its finally warm. even at night. i love sleeping in my summer nightgown. pushing the quilt onto the floor in my sleep without even noticing. sleeping with the windows open and the curtains pushed back. waking up to see that outside's still mostly dark and sleepy. knowing i get to sleep a little longer and get back up once the sun is a little more perky and awake too. something about that time of morning is making me so happy this week.

cracks me up

this is so me. such a klutz. i walked right into the coffee table last night. jumped up and down, rubbing my knee. dan says "i know how you hurt your foot on friday." ever oblivious me says, "oh yeah? how"

answer: "you're a klutz!!!!" um yep. he's right. depth perception problem? do i just not pay attention. i dunno. but it happens. a lot! my poor legs. good thing i have some padding.

might as well have a chuckle about it :)
