Going Green

I'm all for saving and helping the environment. But does anyone else get confused about what to do?
Books and Magazines are a good example.
I love reading magazines. Most are now available for iPad, iPhone, Kindle, you name it.
But - By saving paper it hurts the postal service, printers,etc
It seems like there's always a downfall of doing something good.
Same with books.
I love books. I feel guilty every time I download one on my iPad.
Independant book stores are closing more and more.
A few of my favourites in New York closed within two weeks of eachother.

First post

Starting another blog to post random thoughts, observations and other things. Writing is cathartic for me.
I'm a normal girl. Well a woman actually. Sometimes I forget that. I'm a woman who has fallen in to a weird situation.
Enter him
I'll only refer to him as him not just for privacy reasons but because I'm in that warm fuzzy duvet phase of love where even a simple masculine reference, whether it be verbally or not, makes you think of him.
He plays a game for a living.
He chased me for a year.
I finally gave in.
Due to his profession I didn't take him seriously. I thought he was ridiculous, and couldn't possibly like an average, non-thin, non-perfect person. My low self-esteem even led me to wonder if it were a game, just because he's the type of guy that doesn't usually get rejected.
That's the basic facts.
With him, everything is fabulous.
But I'm starting to feel like I'm in a bubble that's going to pop at any moment.
It's not him, it's not me. It's others.

The other wives and girlfriends can be the meanest mean girls you could ever imagine. Last night, One wife (A woman who six weeks ago made a gold digger comment out loud so I could gear it) came to my hotel room door in a robe. Okay what's this? Some weird joke?
I'm sorry to bother you she said.
I heard you do makeup and stuff like for magazines.
Can you help me?

She removed the robe to show me she's been victim of a terrible spray tan.

So I did what any reasonable person would do.

I didn't laugh. Why would I? It takes a lot of guts to ask someone you've been horrible to for help.
I called room service for lemons and sugar to remove it.
After it was removed, I then re-sprayed her properly.

I don't know what to say she said to me. I'm sorry I've been so cruel. I had no idea you were this cool.

She left.
Ten minutes later three other wives showed up.
Can you do us too?

I wanted to laugh at the irony of it.
Winning mean girls over by spray tan!
