Bloggin' again

No matter how many blogs I start and ignore after four posts, there's something about the idea that keeps me coming back. Maybe it's the promise of bringing order to my thoughts (says the girl whose chosen method of organization is to pile things in heaps). Not that making piles is a bad way to organize: I know where everything in my room is. It's like sedimentary rock...

But the internet is a different story. With so much information zinging around (unlike the pile of clothes in my room, unless I can't find my flip flops), I find it hard to get a grasp on my thoughts.

Usually, these thoughts are about the environment. Okay, who am I kidding, often they are about leather boots. But other times they are about the planet and carbon dioxide and how guilty I feel about my leather boot obsession. I'm constantly bookmarking New York Times articles and "green your lifestyle" websites and trash experiment blogs. But where do my bookmarks go? Into my decidedly unorganized delicious account (who knew you could make a service like that unnavigable? Guess that's proof that you can't make piles on the internet...yet).

In any case, here I am. An oxymoron of an environmentalist who wants to save the planet but hates dirt and can't seem to take a shower in under 15 minutes. A person whose idea of the outdoors is her front patio (which is 85% paved, now that I think about it). This will be my attempt at keeping track of links, articles, websites, musings, rants, photos and maybe the occasional craft project. Here we go!
