another round of NAME MY PUPPY...WIN A PRIZE

Well... I did it again! Another rescue dog! This one is happy and healthy he just overstayed his welcome with his owners new girlfriend:( Sad but he is now a welcome member of my growing family. Its like the animal kingdom in my house!

So here is the deal:

Name him and win a mothers day gift basket! Its that easy!

He is a hunting dog, a german shorthaired pointer to be exact. His previous owners called him GAUGE (as in 12- gauge shotgun) but I dont like it. I am thinking something manly. Something fun. Maybe a full name like my boxer is "SUGAR RAY LENNARD" but we call her "SUGAR" for short.

Be creative and make sure to include email in your entry so I can let you know when you win~

I have saved the world- now wheres my coffee?

Hi my name is Heather... and I am a coffee -aholic.

I am not proud of this, but it has become the harsh reality of my life. I cannot function at work or school with out that first cup of coffee. If I could take my coffee intravenously...well let's just say i have a problem. Lucky me- I have a STARBUCKS down stairs at work. So every morning I walk , zombie like, downstairs to get my fresh cup and start my day.

A friend gave me the lecture "Starbucks is ruining the world" and advised me of the following~

-our Starbucks cups are not recyclable

-I use 5 of these cups a week, 20 month, 240 year

-I am ruining the environment

So here is the solution: I can either give up coffee(would get fired), bring it from home (not the same), or start thinking...

I did some research.

I am going to start reusing the cups! I will wash out and reuse same cup! yay! and i found a great etsy seller to help with another solution! Those little cardboard skirts for the cups aren't the best thing either... and its not so cute...

Check out this "going green " accessory from www.Pritchke.etsy.com. Great idea, great price, great for the planet!
