New Leaves

I tried to journal yesterday and was three quarters of the way through a lengthy entry, when I saw an msn article that interested me. So I clicked on it. Instead of openning a new window, it used the page that I was blog updating and since I was multitasking, I did not notice it. I read the article and I closed out the window, only to scream... 'Fucking msn'.

I am trying to work on my posture. It's very bad. Especailly when I sit at the computer. So, I am trying to keep a concious effort, until it becomes habit to sit up straight. Slumping, I now find, unattractive to myself.

I partially sold my soul. I contributed to the monster that is big business, not once, not twice, but thrice, by the time that this is over. I went into Walmart Friday, bought some chocolate chips that are vegan. Sams choice chocolate chips are vegan. They don't have a clue. Or, if they do, they don't care. The lady asked me why I was buying 8 bags. I said, "So that I don't have to keep coming back in here."

After all, you never buy what you came for, and only what you came for, and leave that place. I bought some bottles for my kitchen so that I could organize my oils, vinegars, sauces, tahini, and salt. They all now come out of a very nifty organized mustard or ketchup colored container. I'll have red and yellow in my kitchen if it means that it's organized. I also bought a wee wire wisk (say that real fast) so that I could mix small stuff.

Then I went back there yesterday in search of cloth. I found the perfect cloth, but had to order more since I need twice as much as they had. It will be in on February 11th. So I'll have to return.

I raised a shelf so that the bottom shelf could fit taller things. Now, my counters are not so cluttered. I think that I'm getting spring cleaning fever early. I think it's because I saw the seed packets for sale. I am very excited about my garden this year. It's going to be lovely. I hope.

Today is SuperBowl Sunday, and I find that I am completely uninterested in going to any store today.
