Snoop Bloggy Blogg
Chooch.
Been watching Snoop Dogg's Father Hood tonight. He's in Munich. How bizarre to be out to dinner in Germany and run into Snoop Dogg and fam! Anyway, "chooch" was Snoop's word of the day. It's some sort of a gangsta greeting.
Didn't do much today...
Missed out on the last day of Pompeii at the Science Museum today because the tickets were sold out for the day. DAMMIT!
Brian, Ernie and I ended up taking a giant nap and going sledding in the neighborhood instead. It was wicked awesome. Brian took this huge jump and flew like a rag doll. I held my breath and peaked out of one eye to ask if he was okay after he hit the ground with a giant thud. He came a laughing. Phew! We're too old for this, but it was great fun anyway!
Ernie's an old man. I think his hip displasia has begun. RATS! He's limping around when he gets up from naps and looks all sad and pathetic like Tiny Tim. MY POOR BABY!!! :( I'll try to track down some dog dietary supplements tomorrow to help him out.
Went on my online quest for degradable freezer bags for Sociale Gourmet last night. You can get them in the UK, but they don't seem to sell them here. The best I could find was bags free of PVCs and Plasticizers that are packaged in 100% recycled material. I am unsure as to what the PVCs and Plasticizers relation is to the degradability or if it is unrelated. I am going to have to continue researching.
Maybe I will start an eco fact/tip a day in my blog. I've really been getting into that. It's amazing how easy it is for one person to impact our world. Here's a starting place...
Plastic bags take up to 1000 years to decompose. If you spend one week or even one day tracking the number of plastic bags you receive from the stores, it's sickening to think about that number times 6 billion people in the world (obviously, this is going to be a little high as not everyone is getting plastic bags at stores regularly or at all). That is the number of plastic bags that will be piling up on Earth EVERY WEEK and sitting there for 1000 years. I've discovered that paper bags are not a great alternative, either. Plastic bags consume 40% less energy to produce and generate 80% less solid waste than paper bags.

We have made the switch to reusable/recyclable grocery bags and try to remember them whenever we're headed to the store (I usually keep them in the car as I'm kind of forgetful). I also use 3 nylon shopping bags that fold up into a tiny carrier (smaller than a deck of cards) that I carry in my purse and use as shopping bags whenever I make a purchase. We stopped at 3 stores tonight and saved 5 bags using our reusable bags/totes! Hooray! It's a tiny step, but it feels like the right thing to do. I encourage anyone who is not using reusable totes to give them a try!
I'll research and share these facts and tips to be informative, not to be preachy. Hopefully, it will be fun and interesting!
