March is almost here kids! So I am dedicating the blog to all things green. Green food, green nature, green people, saving some green, green green, and more green.

I am much better today i.e. regarding the 14 freaking flights of stairs deal from Thursday.

Me and a young lady on my team at work, LORETHA, have joined the Fitness Club deal they are doing. I don't know what it is all about yet, but Loretha and I are in it to win it. Loretha is also going to show me how to ride the CAT bus. If gas goes much higher, my happy butt will be catching the bus. So far Loretha has told me when we do our trial run I am NOT to make eye contact with anyone. That is rule 1 she says. I don't know if I want to know rule 2. But hey...I am up for anything.

I am going to clean my house today. I am doing some leg lifts as well to try and work the rest of this soreness out.

Time for lunch...must have something green!
Laters!

No walk today...some moron parked in my spot...had to go to parking tower...called parking lot guru...she was going to take care of the moron in my spot...AGH!

the vegan thing from yesterday...started looking at things like mayo...everything has animal products in it...EVERYTHING!!! how can you be totally vegan??? why can't you have milk products...getting the milk doesn't kill the cow or harm him in any way...so what's so wrong about that???

Ginger, at work, has accomplished 2 days without carbonated beverages!!! YEAH Ginger!!!
