    Whew, it took me two sittings to catch up on this thread! Lot's of action.

     

    So, to update you on my gig....I cannot believe it's been over a year since I started this journey!

     

    Short version, as I'm running low on time, is that I am

    WAY better. I have been treating w/a naturopathic doctor. She treats based on symptoms and blood test results. I am on a thyroid complex, adrenal complex and pro-tri-est(progesterone & the 3 estrogens) along with regular vitmin/mineral supplements. I feel really good. It's almost hard to remember exactly how bad it really was (fatigue, depression, weight gain for no damn reason, low sex drive).

     

    I need to come back and do a more thorough update, but I didn't want you to think I didn't see the thread Jaime.

    Something you wish you would have packed?

    So, how did you break your flip flop Jess? I am proud to say I tripped on the excessively high curb at the Mega and fell flat - full body sprawled on the sidewalk in push up position. Ripped the toe thingy right out of the flop.

    Wow, way to go ladies! My mom is pretty hippie, so I was raised a greeny from the start. I feel pretty good about where we are now that we are in our own home (other than the fact that we built it new!).

     

    Every thing about our home is energy efficient: appliances, light bulbs, the type of roofing & insulation we choose, as well as the tankless water heater.

     

    My favorite - our compost heap! It's amazing to see how much vegetable waste comes out of your kitchen when you stop throwing it in the trash & start accumulating it in a pile. We throw our grass clippings in there as well.

     

    It's funny that every one is saying Seattle is really green...I don't really feel that way. Our neighbors are HORRIBLE at recycling. One of them doesn't even have a recycling container! All of the others have the smallest one you can get. Meanwhile, we have the largest recycling container & the smallest trash container on the block.

     

    My husband works for Coca Cola, and they just started getting green this year. But check this out: after 6 months, they are recycling 98% of all waste! Isn't that amazing? My hubby is one of the leads on this project, which I always giggle about because it was so hard to get him to buy into recycling in the begining of our relationship, now he's in charge of it for an entire facility LOL!

     

    A new thing I'm doing is I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farm. I am about to go pick up my weekly share right now.

    i do have cousins who live about 25 minutes from beaverton, if you have a physical address i can send them to check things out for you, see what the deal is. let me know.
    Good idea Abbie. Or we could just drive down there & kick their butts! Jeez- this is insane. This is clearly a federal crime and I hope you have the energy to take this all the way after your wedding.

    Hey Kathie, sorry I am just now seeing this. We purchased the coffee table at a furniture auction...so that probably doesn't help you very much. But I am pretty sure it was an overstock item from a Macy's furniture store.

    But I got some scented candles that smell sooooooo good, some insense with the little stand thingy they go on, and some really cute white ceramic plates that I'm going to use in 2 weeks when DH enitre family comes over for dinner. They are perfect b/c they match all the white serving peices I got as wedding gifts. THANKS!!!!
    Yay!! I am so glad the serving plates work out for you. I saw many potential uses for those, even as candle holders! So sorry I was last minute on the shipping.
