happy earth day!!!

in honour of it being earth day...i drove to work! yay me. i was going to bike but it was raining pretty hard this morning. and i did bike to work yesterday. every little bit counts.
i figured out my footprint too. if you want to, go to http://www.myfootprint.org/
my end result: if everyone lived like me, we would need 5.1 planets. yikes! my total footprint is 9.1, and the average for canada is 8.8. i'm a touch above. but there are lots of little things one can do to help. saying no to plastic bags, or biking a to work a couple times a week is always a start.
i just wish vancouver didn't have so many damn hills, then i'd bike more often!

happy easter!!!

hope everyone didn't eat too many of those yummy mini eggs. i know i did though. they are irresistible. i went for a bit of a bike ride with dave. it was nice to get out and stretch those legs. and in the process got my very first skeeter bite of the season. pesky little buggers.
i have yet to attempt a ride to work though. ask me though, i'm full of excuses. the biggest being the uphill battle (times three) home. i'll do it eventually though.
take it easy where ever you are!
