I haven't shopped there for two years and when I got rid of 4 sacks of clothes a few months ago, most of it was crap from H&M that had fallen apart after being washed twice. God I hate that place. They lure you in with clothes that *look* great and then they last you like half an hour.carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351483253361159121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-19497961563092806902009-04-26T10:29:00.000-07:002009-04-26T10:29:00.000-07:00We got rid of our car almost 3 years ago and now w...We got rid of our car almost 3 years ago and now we walk/take public transit everywhere. I have to admit, it was a little scary at first, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. We save tons of money every month- not to mention the lack of driving stress (I was that girl in the ol' beater on the freeway cruising 20 miles over the speed limit, making up new ways to include "balls" in profanity and flipping off old ladies in mini-vans. My friends nicknamed me "The I-5 Rager). I don't belong behind the wheel of a vehicle. Besides, the people you meet on public transit will entertain you for a lifetime.<br /><br />As for ziplock and cheap clothes- I don't think I have the willpower for that yet.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633056996927758780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-88725871104524856152009-04-25T06:01:00.000-07:002009-04-25T06:01:00.000-07:00good luck with number three... that's how i roll, ...good luck with number three... that's how i roll, myself. however, it does have its downsides. i find myself having this internal dialogue: "do i really need this 600$ sundress? of course i do. it's black and ivory. it's timeless. it looks amazing. it makes ME look amazing.

And I use a Mr. Bento lunchbox to bring food to work. It looks like a little spaceship, which makes me happy, and I don't need ziplocs for my snacks.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211797571405802312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-67798091437839798172009-04-24T15:07:00.000-07:002009-04-24T15:07:00.000-07:00oh and earth day is *every day* so you're not late...oh and earth day is *every day* so you're not late. you're in the know, yo.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780331196723830632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-44539701238127961042009-04-24T15:05:00.000-07:002009-04-24T15:05:00.000-07:00good job on the sigg water bottle.
