Overall I believe in recycling. However, sometimes I have to question.... cause that's just what I do people... So the most current thought came this past Wednesday before Christmas when I was in the kitchen ALL DAY BAKING. Literally from 1pm to 1am on Christmas Eve. This sweet tooth mama learns from her love of sugar and I'm one hell of a good baker! So anyways, as I pulled out the box of aluminum foil for like the zillionth time I had to wonder.... is it more cost effective and environmentally friendly to use aluminum foil to save foods or Tupperware? Aluminum foil you have to keep buying every time you run out and then it gets thrown in the trash. Tupperware you only have to buy occasionally when it gets worn down but your also spending the money on dish soap and water every time you wash it. Not to mention that when you do throw it away... does it take a more vigorous process to recycle it since it it a sturdier material?? It's like the dilemma I previously wrote of involving paper cups verses a perma coffee mug. What a pickle!

As I was out doing Christmas shopping this year I ran into many Salvation Army Bell Ringers. This is about the only time that I don't mind going to our local Wal-Mart as opposed to Meijer cause our local Wal-Mart Bell Ringer also plays the saxophone, and isn't that just Merry! I bet he gets upgraded from nickels to quarters for that! I know I enjoy the festive Christmas music being bellowed out into the cold snowiness by a Saxophone. It adds that feel to the atmosphere. Anyways, my thoughts started to rumble a few times when I had no cash to give them cause I mostly have my plastic and I wonder.... do the Bell Ringers struggle with collections more now that plastic has become the main source. Are they going to start putting a card swiper on the red bucket for donations? Maybe they should just put an option on the card swiper in the store when you check out. I'm also always inclined to buy these people a hot coffee cause they are doing a good service and the stores won't even allow them to stand in the double doors. Where is the compassion?

When I went to the book store this season I was struck by an oddity that I began to wonder if it occurred in all the other book stores of this particular name. I will not mention it, but to say it is a widely popular book store across the country so this could be a possible happening in so many places. I was searching for a book in the children's section and as I'm walking, head down, very grossly involved in the titles I suddenly walked one bookshelf to far and went from Dr. Seuss to Dr. Dirty Sex. (Not literally a name) Point is. I looked up, startled and realized that the Romance novels were located smack next to the children's books. With their pictures of swooning, full breasted women and their lovers plastered on the covers sitting right next to the cartoon covers of Strawberry Shortcake and the Grinch. I think a lot of stuff now a days is overly PC but some stuff is just too easy. Don't complain that kids know to much about sex and then give them an invite to crack a book and learn all about it! Idiots! Better yet...when you turned the corner to the next aisle. There was a fine display of Bibles and Spirituality books sitting right next to the Erotica section! EROTICA....with Bibles and lest not forget children's books no more than one bookcase over! Idiots, Idiots, Idiots!!! Erotica should be filed next to Romance and they should both have their own section... next to computer manuals or something that small children are not likely to be around! No fear in boys and girls having sex education class in separate rooms...who cares!!! They are gonna get their long before that cause Barbie is gonna be acting out an erotic seen with Winnie the Pooh! Get your heads out of the clouds people. Stop being PC and overlooking all the obvious!! Kids are not stupid talk to them and quit hiding but don't put it in their hands for them to figure out on their own! Little minds wander too easily and curiosity is their best friend!

Alright...moving on. I'm going to go eat some cookies now and try to figure out the perfect ratio of milk to finish off my Oreo Cookies.
