Yay, we saved the earth!

I'm proud because heisenbug and I just bought $100 worth of groceries without using a single plastic bag. We've been carrying backpacks for years, but lately we've also started carrying a couple of 1bagatatime.com bags, which have been sold all over town lately for $2.... they really make a difference in how much we can buy before going plastic.

Now, if only I could remember to carry them when buying things other than groceries.

I need the plastic bags for poop bags for The Mints.

Wow, I loooove that icon. How do they do that??

Thanks! "They" is me and nevers last October. :)

It's not too hard to be on top (flying) -- you basically just do what the base tells you to and let them manhandle you. But I've only done a little bit of basing, and I still can't do that transition myself. If only there was more acroyoga training available here in Boston. Or if I could see nevers more often so she could teach me.

As for poop bags, we use plastic bags for litter, too. But we have a whole drawerful of them at the moment.

OH MY GOD, that's YOU??!!! That's fantastic, amazing!! I love stuff like that! Do you have any regular videos of it? I'd love to see it.

Oh wow, thanks! I always compare myself to nevers and the folks on c0ntortion so I tend to be surprised at getting compliments. :)

I have no acroyoga videos, sadly. I did a few things solo in my video from Mexico last week though, and I have a few pictures around.



As for your other comment, I don't really have a sport; sports, ick, I just do yoga and go to the gym. That is me in the blue icon though... that was Halloween. I never figured out what I was, but weeks later someone saw pictures and said "nice Democrat costume!" and I thought that was pretty perfect.

Wow, you are so thin and fit! I am envious! Or no, make that, INSPIRED! :-)

Hey -- you're following my rule, almost! When I see someone do something I can't do, I have to replace the word "intimidating" with "inspiring". As in, oh my GOD that's intimidating... I mean inspiring, really, I'm inspired, uh-huh uh-huh.

I do worry lately that I'm scaring people off of posting about their workouts, rather than encouraging them to. But people should! I love talking about exercise.

Yep, that's a good rule--substitute "inspire" for "intimidate." I like it!

No, for me it helps to read about other people's workouts, exercise, activities, bring it on. I'm naturally athletic and muscular, but in the last few years I've developed a layer of fat over it. Must. Motivate!

Looking at it again, I can't believe how FLEXIBLE you are!

Is that you in the blue spandex icon too? What's your main sport?
