Yes I hate high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners and I make a big effort to not consume them.  (woo hoo Mexican Coke movement!)

Yes I am passionate about recycling everything I can possibly recycle.

Yes I go through the garbage can at home and work to see if there is anything that needs to be recycled.

Yes I use vinegar as hair conditioner and deodorant and I try to use natural, organic body products.

Yes I go out of my way to drop off the glass recycling.

Yes I am a massage therapist and prefer alternative medicine.

Yes I try to eat organic and I want to have my own garden.

And yes I wear Dansko clogs.

But really do I have to be lumped with the hemp wearing, hairy pitted, dread locked, no showering hippies?  These people can not be taken seriously though they are trying so hard to be heard and make a difference and I do appreciate that but you can’t really take someone serious when they are high and you have to hold your breath due to the body odor.

Maybe I will find out that I do have B.O. after posting this actually (right Michelle?) but really.

I love the earth and I want to keep our water supply clean and I want to support local businesses and make sure my kids don’t start puberty at 6 but I also do not want to be lumped in as a crazy person where you roll your eyes and just put up with me to get me to shut up.

I also do not want to be lumped with Al Gore.  You can’t trust a man who wears blush especially one who wears too much blush.

So I’m left to wonder:  Is it OK to be passionate about something anonymously?

(And yes, that was a Sex in the City moment for those of you who know what I’m talking about.)

So, I hate chemicals in my house. Why have chemicals when I have vinegar right? When I moved a while ago there was a lot of mold in my new bath tub and I know that bleach is really the only thing that will actually get rid of the black. Vinegar will kill mold by the way but it won’t bleach the black color white. Anyways so I succumbed to buying bleach. That is the first reason to use bleach. The second reason is that is does actually make your whites extremely white which for some reason never worked for me until recently. I think doing laundry really well must come with motherhood. So the third and final reason to use bleach is to clean up the cat pee and poo smell after you accidentally left your cats in your house for 2 1/2 days without their litter box.

Now don’t judge me and don’t note to yourself never to come over to my house. I have a clean house and they only peed and pooed in the basement under the stairs which is all cement.

My poor cats. They were probably so confused and scared to death of me finding their little poops.

But now I have a bleach headache. I hate that.
