Unlike those around me, I tend to shrink when not working out. I start looking like the vegetarian that I am when not pumping the iron. So, for health and in an attempt to break stereotypes about us rabbit food eaters...I'm trying to get back on the wagon. The green cleaning supplies is a great one. We use the eco-friendly stuff as often as possible. For a while we used a lot of baking soda, but it just didn't cut it for some things. Pots and pans...excellent. Unclogging drains...perfect. Cleaning the toilet...we had to call in the heavy hitters for that one. But it's still a greta weapon to have in the arsenal. The shower shut off it a nice one too. I do the same and it certianly speeds up your lather time. It does, however, allow hot water to leak up the cold water line...leading to a full on hot blast when you turn the water back on. At least...that's how it works in my shower. This New Years finds me trying to get back to the gym. Unlike those around me, I tend to shrink when not working out.

I visited it a lot growing up so I guess I'm still banned. Ah well... Thanks for the link. Yeah, it’s the Europe rule that gets me. I visited it a lot growing up so I guess I’m still banned.

I had been thinking about those green products they have now at the grocery stores, but this is even better of course (and safer for the kids), because I don't know if I really trust those green products anyway. As for giving blood, if you're not on antibiotics and you don't have the flu (no fever or throat ache), you're probably good. Hema-Quebec has a funky rule about being in Europe for a while between 1980 and 1996, though, so if you've been over there some, I don't know...

I need to see if I can give blood…

Right now, I can gobble up a plate of pasta to rival my father's - and he's over 6 feet tall, over 200 pounds. I'm allowing myself to eat as many vegetables as I want, and dairy is okay too, but I have to watch my starch intake. Maternity leave ends in a month, and that maid is totally getting a call once I'm back at my job. Eyeballing.
