<ul>
<li>Exist.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take an apartment or suite that allows pets when you have none. You have your choice of ANY apartment, must you take one of the few that allow pets?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Interrupt me when I am talking to the landlord and trying to make a good impression.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Offer more rent than the landlord is asking and thus sweep a place out from under my feet. Why must you do this when I was about to get that perfect place of awesomeness? I bet you don't even have pets.</li>

This is very exciting, as it means greatly cutting down on the amount of garbage we produce. Even more exciting? While they will currently be collecting yard and food waste every two weeks and garbage every week, the overall goal is to reverse that... that means HALF as much garbage and TWICE as much compost as a city! Feels like we've been waiting forever for this!</div><div><br /></div><div>If you live in Vancouver, read more about it <a href="http://vancouver.ca/projects/foodWaste/index.htm">here</a>. If not, I urge you to write a letter to your city encouraging to follow the lead of my cities and many others and work towards implementing similar programs.<div><br /></div><div> I've scouted out a few other handy tidbits in honour of the most eco-conscious day of the year: check <a href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/downloads/endfoodwaste1.pdf">here</a> for a handy tipsheet on how to reduce the amount of food you waste by just learning how to store it properly; some easy ways to <a href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/what-you-can-do/green-your-workplace/quick-steps-office-green/">go green at work</a>; and... well, let me just send you directly to the <a href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/">David Suzuki Foundation</a>, there is a wealth of info and very useful, easy, and realistic tips on how to be healthier and live healthier.</div><div><br /></div><div>all my love to our colourful planet!</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

My apologies. I appear to be suffering from a tad bit of Olympics burn-out. Three weeks is a long time to have every aspect of your life consumed by anything, and the Olympics are no exception. I miss my family. I miss my sewing machine! But the end is in sight. I only have two more shifts at work, and there are only four more days of this Olympics insanity left! Hurrah!</div><div><br /></div><div>I am very much looking forward to:</div><div><ul><li>making paper art</li><li>sewing - some cute tutorials have popped up on my google reader for things I've always wanted to make (totes, elastic waisted skirts, aprons) and I have some great fabrics I've been dying to create with</li><li>continuing to update our house decor for spring (my fave colours this year? woodgrain/kraft, white, pink, and spring green)</li><li>preparing for the kitten arrival! Due to the fact that I am adopting, I am not 100% sure when I will be able to bring a little bundle of furry joy home, but the kitten prep begins this weekend and I could have a darling to share my life as soon as a week and a half from now! I am breathless with excitement.</li></ul><div>The wonder of two short evening shifts in a row is that I had this morning to relax and return to normalcy a bit. So what did I do?
