The time that has passed since my last blog isn't much at all. It's funny. My goals have not changed. I am working toward ridding myself of Christmas wrapping paper. I am so close. There's only a roll left. Whew. I have even sent a few gifts to birthday parties in paper bags. Personally decorated by my brilliant and creative daughter Amelia. I'm proud to have done so.
However I must admit my journey into the greener aspects of life have not been all consistent. Composting has gone by the way side. Oh it irks me so much. Do you know how much wonderful waste I throw in the garbage where it will fester to no good use??? My next house will have a good compost bin.
But what could be going on now? What has happened since we last met minds? Really, not so much. We have moved to a more southern point of Oregon. It is so conservative, I have compared it to Texas and also the Bible belt. But the fact remains we're in OREGON. I have powered through the Christian right wing here to force my non-theist views upon the very small public who would appreciate the message. I feel good about it. I feel very hippie and very righteous about my decision to stand up to the main stream here. What a wonderful affirmation of my newer personality.
And now we are leaving. Leaving this little town for parts unknown as yet. Maybe Las Vegas, maybe Washington, maybe Brazil. I'm hoping for something easy. I'm hoping for something that is right for me and my husband but most importantly for my son. For my daughter. I hope it's good for them.
