So I suck at Blog posting aparently….
Well..it’s been way too long since I’ve written! Things have been going well.
So since I’ve last written…I quit my work with Planet Four Films…for a ton of different reasons. Then I got my first Kidney Stone….Thanks Dad! Then at the end of August my absolutely beautiful and stunning niece Mirabella was born! And I got to be there! Proud Auntie Alert.
I’ve been working part time at Somerset Mall in Troy, MI for Lush Cosmetics. It’s my absolutely favorite place to shop – and its also a great place to work. So that brings in some extra funds.
The coolest thing that has happend lately is my work with Boxtruck Productions. I was asked by the Owners Wes Knodel and Roger Fowler to assist in producing ther newest short “Michael”. We spent 3 days over 2 weekends getting everything filmed, with the final culmination happening this past Saturday at our home. It was an absolute blast!!!
So things are going well. Just planning Peter’s 30th birthday celebration in June and at the end of June a fun filled trip to Gulf Shores with my best group of friends. I guess this is a short update…but it’s what it is!!!!!
Take it Easy!
Green Makes the World Go Round
So my quest and desire to go green, more organic keeps on keeping on.
Pete and I have missed out (again mind you) on signing up for a local CSA 
*Boo, Hiss* However, while looking thorough localharvest.org last week, I stumbled on a local buying club (year round even) called La Vida Local. The owner Julie is a very upbeat and friendly woman. The buying club runs this way: she works with local farmers and producing companies to procure items that are organic and green. Every week she sends you a shopping list (and it is quite extensive). This past week our list had oh so many items, ranging from Dairy to produce to meat to beauty items as well as cleaning items. You pick out what you want (we got a beautiful Steak (HUGE), ground beef, Cottage Cheese, Raw Milk Gouda, Spaghetti Sauce and Ricotta Gnocchi as well as a stainless coffee/ice tea mug for me. Then you pay her though pay pal for your times and $5 for delivery and she delivers these items to your home. It’s fabulous. I cannot wait to try what we bought…I feel steak coming on.
Target has also started carrying really inexpensive shopping bags that fit into your purse. I picked up two. One was $.99 and fits really easily into my purse, and the other was $1.50 and is huge, but folds up to about the size of small book, but really thin. I keep that one in my car. Great idea for being on the run and not bringing home too many plastic bags.
I also purchased fabric last night to try to make my own reusable menstrual pads. Keep your fingers crossed about my sewing skills!
Well that’s about it. Pete and I are heading to Ann Arbor on Saturday to pick up my dress for my sister’s wedding, and then we are relaxing the whole weekend long! Whoo! Have a great weekend everyone!
