Eco friendly?

How can compact bulbs be the new latest and greatest when you break one you need to call Haz Mat? If you reside in/around the "Greenest City in America" according to Yahoo.com and you have no recycling centers for the burnt out bulbs are you really green?

We are looking into the LED bulbs that are beginning to seep into Walmart. They are even more efficient then the CFL bulbs. Sure they are about 6 bucks a shot right now and are rare to find. The wattage is a bit low, but this is how I remember the CFL's coming in. CFL's when we started buying them about 2 years ago were about 12 bucks for a 4 pack, wattages were limited and low. Here is an example out 40 watt equivilant bulb in CFL is 13 wattage output. Our new LED has 1.3 watt output. CFL's are floresent lighting no matter how you swing it, the new LED is pure white! Hmmm, which is more enviromentally friendly, and really cost efficaint? As they become more common place, I see the LED prices coming down, wattage choices up, and the new eco-friendly fad. They will replace the CFL, as CFL's are replacing the incandecent filiment bulbs. Once again the bleeding heart tree huggers didn't do all the research, leached on to "the next best thing" and once again it was not the best, it was just next. Haste makes waste- hippy's!

Got my new jacket today

I checked on the order yesterday in Kearney and they said next Thursday. Corey checked his email this morning and it was at Cabela's. We went and got it. I love it. It is large enough to layer when needed, since it didn't come with a hat, it is a must for me. I slipped it on and even though it is not real fur, or leather, I liken it to slipping into a feather. Or like eating a piece of Dove Milk chaocolate! Needless to say, I like it.

I also bought the beads, and meterial for the guitar pick necklases for Logan's 1/2 birthday goodie bags. So last night I poked holes in 16 picks, and placed connector on them. Now I have to bag them all up, sort beads out, write simple instructions for them, and bag them up.

I will start my yoga this evening, after a break from working out yesterday. Then when I drop off Logan in the mornng for school, I will either swim laps or be off to the hamster wheel they call a track at the Y and do my 2-3 miles. I am with you Alisha, and will keep it up.

So far so goodish 2009

We ran in the new year watching SurvivorMan. New Years Day was a chore, no steamers for me. I just wanted a warm yummy drink to deal with morning. No dice. Corey got to watch most of the Husker game in HD at home before going to work since Logan fell asleep upstairs. I did too! Corey left then we watched the rest of the game cheering on Bo and the crew in the Gator Bowl. We went out to taco bell and visited Corey at work. WE popped to Walmart to get a cork board, and founf New Moon for my friend Maegan. After a couple epis of Backyardagains and it was bed for boy-wonder!

Today we started out late..all of us. It was off to the gym, gave Maeg her book. I made it half a mile or so jogging, said screw it and brisked walked the rest of the 2 miles. Off to Valentino's for lunch, I felt sick and grazed. Corey was off to work a bit later after some rousing games of Tractor Tippin' board game. We napped, got up and off to Wally world. Go in for 2 hair clips and razors come out with 2 hair clips, razors, 2 boxes of Christmas cards, and 5 shirts for Sully. Damn. When Sully stops yaking all over the floor I will get some pics of him in his new duds. At 1.50 a pop, I couldn't resist. The shirts keep him dryer in wet weather.

Here is what I bought this evening from Cabela's:



I had a 25 dollar gift card and 36 left on the credit card. It was 65 dollars. Kicker is: we lost the gift card. Still getting it for 32 buck when it was 80 is a darn good deal. Corey wanted me to have a girlie looking jack. This is the best I can do.
