I'm a Big Chicken and Where are all my "People"?

Part I

So it turns out that I am a huge scaredy baby. I am not quite sure when this happened but I think it was right around when I got preggers with E. I used to love, love, love horror movies. A a teen I read every Dean Koontz and Stephen King book imaginable. I enjoyed being terrified out of my mind. Now, not so much. Last night the hubs suggested we watch The Eye! The title sounded scary as I was pretty sure it was not an optical love story, but he reassured me it was PG13. First, it was a horrible movie. Second, it scared the SH$T outta me and I ended up reading Eat, Pray, Love through the end. The I went up to bed alone and couldn't even sleep with the light off. I had to go to bed with the light on. Thanks scary movie for making me waste energy. No more scary movies. I guess there is so much negativity in the world that I just don't want to go to bed at night thinking about seeing dead people. I do have to exclude all CSI's and Law and Orders- for some reason those don't scare me so much.


Part II

I have been trying to do my best to be earth conscience. I realized that although I was using cloth bags at the supermarket, I wasn't using them at other stores. So, yesterday at Target I used cloth bags. Then the hubs, Eliza and I ran to Home Depot to pick two small items. The hubs was using the self-check out and I said, "We don't need a bag." He gave me kind of a nasty look. I new I had just irritated him. When we got into the car I was markedly upset. I told him that I was just trying to do something good by not using plastic bags. He said he didn't see what difference one bag made. And I know this is the mindset of many, many people. Of course this brought me to tears as I tried to explain that one person can make a difference and just because a lot of people use plastic bags doesn't me we should. Do you think it is that time of the month? I love my husband but he is not one of my "people". I don't know where my "people" are as I haven't been abler to find them yet."

* Side not- My niece Alli started me using the term, "My People". She uses the term when she sees other who also have sizable ears. She calls them her "people". her ears are just perfect in my opinion.

Where are my people? Why can't I find them? Am I Eco crazy or something? Should I scout out the super market for people whose carts filled with organic produce, green cleaners and a variety of tasty nut butters? Of course they will also be using cloth bags at the check out.

I am sad that my husband is not my "people." He tries for me, but he just isn't that into the GREEN thing. He uses cloth diapers no problem, eats my non-meat concoctions, replaces our light bulbs with energy saving ones, and tries to shut off the water when he brushes his teeth- but only because I ask him too!

His people are "golf" people I suspect.

If you are my "people" please come and find me so I don't feel damned crazy!


On a happier note, I won some fun Eco-friendly products from Green and Clean Mom. When my prize came in the mail I was ecstatic. I could barely wait to use my Toilet Bowl Fizzy Tablets! I also received The Kitchen Cleaner and The Bathroom Spray Cleaner and I have already used them both. Joyful Girl Naturals also has a line of natural beauty products!
