Eco-Guilt

Yesterday, I brushed my teeth while running the water.  Ran it to wet my toothbrush, ran it to rinse out my toothbrush and to rinse the sink.  It was alot of water.  More than the 1/2 cup I normally use.  I felt terrible for letting all the clean water just run down the drain.  

Nick and I have been changing some of our habits to be more environmetally conscious.  However, I haven't really thought about how it was affecting/effecting my view on how I live--until yesterday.  I really felt guiltyfor just letting the water run.  Whodathunkit?

Also, an update on electric shavers. DO NOT use a men's foil shaver to shave your underarms.  NOT GOOD!!  I sacrificed my body for this experiment and got burned--literally, terrible razor burn.  That was two days ago and it is just feeling better.  I can finally wear deoderant today.  Well, I learned my lesson.  For underarms, only use a disposable razor or a woman's shaver.

Lastly, I started reading some classics.  Right now I am reading Rappaccini's Daughter.  It is supposed to be a horror, but I am not really sure what's going on yet.  I don't read classics.  I just don't like the way they're written--too wordy, too much detail, sometimes language is a barrier.  However, I love to read and am trying to stretch my horizons.  We'll see how long it lasts.
