Purple Tinted Glasses

I’ll fess up. I usually use one styrofoam cup a day for breakfast. I make my oatmeal in it. Then I eat it with a plastic spoon. I do this 5 days a week.

I realized this morning (while eating my oatmeal) that I used 3 styrofoam cups and plastic spoons all by myself in just one day yesterday. I had my afternoon snack in one and a cup of coffee in another (of which I only managed to take 3 sips before leaving the office for the day). I did have a perfectly usable coffee cup on my desk from the morning, but it was half full and dirty.
Every time I do this, I hearKelly in my head saying something about plastic spoons sitting in land fills for 100 years (or some equally absurd but probably more accurate number). She’s also constantly nagging me about tanning beds too (in my head, not in person). Haven’t been to one since we had a little chat in the car almost a year ago. I wear sunscreen more willingly now. Not that I didn’t wear any before, but I opted for the silly spf 15 tanning enhancement stuff. Now I reach for at least the 40.

Yay me.
